Imagine how much right wing dopes would foam at the mouth if billions were spent on a Canadian EV

I'm just picturing some sort of MAGA Albertan with a F350 rolling coal everywhere saying Carney is trying to kill our oil industry.

You mentioned assembly plant, that could also be an option va importing complete cars.

local battery and motor plants with local materials would boost Canadian economy.

If we were doing assembly at least some could come from here ya. But it's all out the window if they just cave and remove the import tarrif and welcome the cars in as is.

Negotiating quotas, dealership investments, factories, is reasonable to reduce tariffs to a "revenue raising" level, but also pressure US/western firms to invest more (without subsidy) to keep the large Canadian auto market access.
