Omg, Carney made some gains! I was worried that we’d end up being set up for humiliation, allowing Trump to gloat.
Doug Ford will not be happy, but something had to give.
That being said, I’m sure that Carney’s detractors will find a way to call this trip a failure.

Excited to see some BYDs around. They’ve got some interesting bus options that I hope get folded into some public transportation.

At first glance, it looks like a win-win situation for both us and China
* Allowing 49,000 Chinese EVs into Canadian market with the most-favoured-nation tariff rate of 6.1%
* China to lower canola tariffs to 15% by March 1
* No ‘discrimination tariffs’ on Canadian peas, lobsters, crabs from March 1
* Committed to working towards visa-free access for Canadians travelling to China (Source:Â [https://www.pm.gc.ca/en/news/news-releases/2026/01/16/prime-minister-carney-forges-new-strategic-partnership-peoples](https://www.pm.gc.ca/en/news/news-releases/2026/01/16/prime-minister-carney-forges-new-strategic-partnership-peoples))
Excited to see this all pan out.

This is great news for Nova Scotia seafood industry. March 1 is great timing for South Shore season and subsequent summer seasons around the maritimes.

Business owner here: I am eagerly awaiting to see what kind of EV light commercial vehicles will be available after this deal.
I’ve been wanting to electrify my fleet but the only ones available now are far too expensive and large for my company’s needs.

Good news, Doug Ford won’t be happy but it’s the free market way.
Norway didn’t tarrif Chinese EV and they still sell less than Tesla and VW counterparts. They are also struggling in Russia with the cold. However they do well in warm places like Australia.
Let free markets see how well they do in Canada. No need to artificially block them.
