Also in the joint package, Ottawa is easing greenhouse gas regulations as U.S. tariffs pressure Canada's automotive sector.

Canada's emissions standards are now set to flatline until 2030 — maintaining 2026 levels for new light-duty vehicles through the 2029 model year. Annual increases are set to resume in the 2030 model year.

Ottawa initially proposed increasing emissions standards from 2026 through 2035 to reach its goal of 75 per cent EV sales by 2035.

This change comes after the Trump administration made similar changes on Monday.

If the US wants to us Canadian steel and labour to make inefficient cars, maybe we should just design efficient cars at home?

That sounds pretty complicated for one of the most educated countries per capita though.

"An integrated North American auto sector will be stronger, more competitive and provide better jobs for our workers," Carney said. "But we recognize these are not the objectives of the current U.S. administration. Their approach has changed, and so must ours."

Not what we want to hear from our leadership.

Trying to win in the Auto industry in NA is like trying to beat Usain Bolt in a footrace by banning him from it, because you're not faster than him.

Integration with the US has only hurt us, rather than seeking it out we should have tied this funding to exiting the US market.

Any country reliant on the dollar doesn't have a choice. Canada isn't Iran, they haven't been preparing for generations. I don't like it but it's true.

The longer we allow it to exist the worse it gets. I know it goes back to when the US forced the Canada/US agreement on us but if we could find a better offramp then we already would have.

If an industry is essential and cannot exist without frequent government intervention, it should be nationalized and run as a public entity.
