Canadians buy 2M vehicles a year. This deal only allows in 50,000.

When Xpeng wanted to sell in EU, they had to assemble the cars in Austria with Canada's Magna.

So why is Magna making Chinese EVs in Austria, but not in Canada?

Assembled in Australis is like saying your ikea furniture was manufactured in your living room.

Walk around an ikea. Look at the labels, most of the large furniture pieces are made locally in the same province they are sold.

That wasn't my point. My point was when you bring the Ikea boxes home and assemble them, that doesn't make you a manufacturer. That's the case in Australia, the cars are assembled in Australia like Ikea furniture.
