We need to bring BYD production into Canada to 1. Improve EV adoption, 2. Light a fire under NA auto manufacturers asses, 3. Get China to drop all their counter tariffs on our industries.

We shall make the same mistakes over and over again.

We need to focus on strengthening our relationship with the U.S. Let the downvotes from the elbows up crowd come.

Smart man. The tmx pipeline, you know the one that cost us $34B and never once got a mention during the elections, or since?
Well it goes to the west coast. And it was a patent failure. Like the oil sands have been for decades. Because it shift bitumen, among others.
And then china came in and starting buying oil.
This turned the fail story into what could be success.
So yeah, smart to get over there and stoke up some demand.
Maybe for the first time in 52 years, the dead horse of the oil sands will turn a profit?
I would side with more pipelines, if it means we sell at a profit.

We should not be cozying up to China.
It’s telling seeing all the downvotes for being critical of China.

Canada is so desperate that it’s making a deal with China? Getting in bed with China never works the way the host countries believe it will. Let’s piss off the Americans even more by getting in bed with their main enemy. Trump kidnapped a countries president because they were too close to China and now you want to invite them in while Trump is talking annexation? Wow. Canada is cooked.

“Burr burr we shouldn’t cozy up to China”. Brother, we are just looking for new customers. People talking about “Oooh China spies on us” Motherfucker the US spies on us. Everyone spies on everyone. Samsung is filled with Israeli spyware for some ungodly reason.
Literally just enacted 25% tariff on all incoming steel and steel derivative products on boxing day from every country but the one trying to crush us (USA). Canadians have no idea how this will trickle down and cause even more inflation. Trying to protect the welfare state canadian steel industry.

My concern is that Carney has forgotten the people of Canada. Instead he has become a globe jetsetter. Burning the candle from both ends.

BYD would sell good in Canada and bring in affordable cars.

Electric cars, Chinese company, made in Canada.

Canada is too close to the US to be too close to China. We need to be aware of that. Yes we need to diverse, but we need to wait and hold a bit until a good opportunity arises. Wait until the middle term and next election. But yeah now is a good time to discuss things.

We need Electric Cars produced here.

Outsource subway and high speed trains to Chinese. They will build faster and cheaper. These create jobs locally as well.
In return ask for no tariffs on commodities like soya, beef and rare earth minerals

Why are we trying to be friendly with a communist state?

Who is going to protect our trade routes with China? Do you see what is going on in the Red Sea with the Houthi pirates? This kind of stuff happens all the time with trade ships.
