    Canadians don’t like buying things made in China despite buying the majority of our goods from China.

      I have no idea if you think we should buy less from China, or stop complaining about buying from China, but either way you’re right about the hypocrisy, or at least lack of self awareness.

      In this instance, I think people need to separate the art from the artist so to speak. The Chinese EV’s are already doing well in other countries and it can’t only be because they are cheaper though I’ll admit that is likely a large factor. Why not buy the best product for your money?

        We should remove tariffs for European cars as well. Why can’t I buy a small 4wd in Canada, when they have them all over?

          6 foot bed, 2 seats, 4x4, electric. Why is that so much to ask? I don’t need a 45 foot surrogate penis to get to work and move furniture/landscaping/tools.
