CANADA DOESNT HAVE A DOMESTIC EV INDUSTRY ALL THEY DO IS MAKE CRAPOLA CARBON CREDIT RUSTBOXES FOR AMERICAN MANUFACTURERS
THERE ARE ZERO DOMESTIC CAR BRANDS IN CANADA THAT AN EV TARIFF PROTECTS
GIVE THE PEOPLE XIAOMI EV MINIVANS YOU COWARDS
Literally tariffing China to prop up to ev market in the country threatening to annex you.
This is the clearest, most concise manner to say this. This comrade should be a reporter. 🫡
Remember when Biden put insane tariffs on Chinese EVs and libs didn’t care?
Libs actually rejoiced.
any country that tariffs EVs, solar/renewable tech, or any of the tools for transitioning away from fossil fuels should be embargoed and sanctioned so hard they get diarrhea in front of everybody at church.
All countries tariff their imports and exports at 100%, which is then used to gift them mountains of solar panels.
A 100% tariff on solar panels which is used to double the purchase size of the solar panels, delivered to the initial purchaser.

Canada is a very real and sovereign country.
hurt itself in its confusion!
woah, nice emoji use
C’mon, Canada. Even when you’re mad at the US, you still don’t know how to operate on the world stage without fully mimicking their foreign policy, eh?
lol, Canada’s economy is getting wrecked by US tariffs but Canada is such a subservient cur to the empire they’ll further harm themselves to protect US automakers.
Honestly I don’t get why all the Canadian Patriots
were getting all antsy about American annexation, it’s not like Canada acts like a sovereign nation anyway
From what I get from talking to some friends in Canada, like 80% of Canadian national identity is based on the fact that they’re not the US. “At least we’re not as bad as the Americans” is a thought-terminating cliche that sees a lot of use, to hear them tell it.
We focus on the differences between us and Americans because otherwise we would just be low tier Americans lol
No, I do not understand how people reconcile that with the fact that we act like Americans in every meaningful way.
DNC country
hey some of you speak french
100% accurate, any criticism of Canada can be shut down by saying “but hey just look south, at least that’s not happening here!”
The EV tariffs were meant to appease the US before Canadians decided we don’t like them anymore. It would be a remarkable turnaround for Canadians to actually embrace the trade relationship with China because we are full of the same anti-china brainworms.
Given that, I think this is good news. It seems like China intends on negotiating with Canada from a position of strength. Meaning Chinaintends to negotiate with Canada at all. I wouldn’t say we deserve that, but I hope it happens. Dropping the EV tariff would obviously be a good thing too.
Edit to add: I don’t have a lot of hope but theoretically it is possible that anti-American sentiment will grow into actual cooperation with China. Most Canadians are not cognizant of our role on the imperial periphery and our delusions of grandeur could lead to more cooperation with China as long as China pretends we are a sovereign nation enough to feed our egos lol
That’s really the best hope we have. If there’s enough anti-US sentiment, it just might overpower our sinophobia.
All Canada know is cash crop, lick boot and lie
Stupid country did this to themselves in which they never needed to in the first place, only did it because it neighbours
.
for the love of god why are you tariffing china, canada
Because Canada thinks they are a major player on the global stage, they need to be taken down a peg and show some humility.
Carney’s considered that the main threat of the world in near future is China during the debate
Whenever I see tariffs on things like this, it strikes me as much more pragmatic and serious than tariffs on things like EVs and microchips, because while the latter is very high end and politicized, things like the former -oils, raw materials, grains- seem like they would have bigger impacts. Idk im not an expert, but it seems like a more no-nonsense, less theatrical way to do tariffs. The mismatch in levels of seriousness makes me think of this:
Canada is not an independent state, it is a semi-autonomous province of the American Empire.
