An environmentalist non-governmental organization is calling on the federal government to reduce tariffs on Chinese-made electric vehicles, arguing the move is necessary to deliver affordable options.
This is due to ignorance . An EV is a bigger pollutant than an ice . Internal combustion engines release almost nothing today while just the tires of an EV produce more pollution due to the far heavier weight . The manufacturing end is far worse and so is the end of life . People are lazy and gullible . You are making someone rich while making it easy for the government to stop you from going anywhere . EVs have short range and are easy to shutdown . We do not have the infrastructure for them and once enough people buy them the government will implement a huge tax on driving them . You really don't think they can let all the tax from gas ($20 billion) go out the window plus lost jobs . An EV will be like digital currency a really bad idea .
When EVs first came to France their citizens were shocked to find that their number one environmentalist was totally against EVs. Why? Because while the French environment had something to gain, Chinese peasants were having their drinking sources contaminated with the result there was an outbreak of cancer. Those in Canada who support EVs are obviously supporting their right to virtue signal and don't give a rat's ass about the world. Beyond that Trudeau's dictate, not promotion, of EVs is an attack on rural dwellers and the poor.
Bring in Chinese EV's, currently very cheap, will quickly end the Canadian automotive business. They will employ predatory pricing, as BYD did in China last year to drive prices down. So be green and have no jobs or go ICE and hybrid and have jobs. Simple choice.
Thanks to Carney’s EV tariff China put retaliatory tariffs on Canola, Pork and Seafood. Since this only affects western Canada and the Maritimes Carney is doing absolutely nothing about it. So much for “Team Canada” eh! Next time someone from Ontario or Quebec questions why the west feels alienated remember that for the last 10 years we have seen our international trade decimated as Trudeau and now Carney have pissed off our trading partners. And that alienation has led to support for separation where the East can piss if their trade partners and leave us out of it.
