Canada’s government on Monday announced it is imposing a 100% tariff on imports of Chinese-made electric vehicles that matches U.S. tariffs and follows similar plans announced by the European Commission.
The announcement followed encouragement by U.S. national security advisor Jake Sullivan during a meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and cabinet ministers on Sunday. Sullivan is set to make his first visit to Beijing on Tuesday.
Trudeau said Canada also will impose a 25% tariff on Chinese steel and aluminum.
“Actors like China have chosen to give themselves an unfair advantage in the global marketplace,” he said.
Funding it is overstepping, if the federal government has enough money to fund things that fall under provincial jurisdiction it only means you’re paying too much federal taxes.
You’re welcome to think that. Just understand that’s not actually what’s happening. A lot of projects have funding at the federal level.

Here’s the list if you don’t believe me. You can filter by province if you’d like.
You think I don’t know that? It’s an issue as well, federal vs provincial powers are defined but the federal government can’t help but interfere? Well, there’s a fucking issue with the federation and the amount of taxes that they collect then!
