  1. They don’t want Canadian cars, so we don’t need any US BS.

    Complain about Canadian cars, FAFO

  2. And I call the US’s decision to ignore the courts and the constitution problematic.

    I call the US’s decision to want to invade Canada , Greenland and other countries problematic and pretty much everything that’s going on down there.

  3. It’s problematic because, according to him, “we have tariffs to protect American auto workers”, which to me sounds like a classic case of FAFO

  4. You said you don’t need us. Literally yesterday. You said there is nothing you need from us.

    But I thought America said they don’t need us anymore.

    So, why do they care of what we do to help our country?

  6. Wasn’t it just a day or two ago, the US ambassador doubled down on the “we don’t need anything from Canada”?

    This has strong “Yes I dumped you but I want to know why you’re going to dinner with Sara” energy

  8. “We’re taking back all our automotive production to the US, but no you can’t replace it with manufacturing from another country.”

    Get bent. FAFO.

  9. The USA can go fuck themselves. This is competition for Tesla and other EV makers. Competition is good.

    I’ve got a BYD Chinese car (in the UK), they are excellent cars for a reasonable price! 💯 recommend allowing them in!

  11. Its because Chinese EVs will put the final nail in the coffin of the non-existent “North American EV Industry” that our ham fisted politicians woefully try to defend. The EV war is over. China won years ago, its not even a competition anymore. Look at Chinas manufacturing capabilities, its absolute mind boggling

    Regardless of what they say, the US obviously is heavily reliant on Canada. I’m not saying we aren’t more reliant on them, but they get a significant amount of their trade from us.

    There was obviously going to be a reaction and it’s something that would have been taken into consideration before signing the deal with China. People are going to act like we overplayed our hand with this but it’s a calculated decision to get away from an increasingly unpredictable US.

    My only worry is how big of a reaction we get and at what point they claim they need to take Canada before China does first just like Greenland.
