Trump's Tariffs Just Opened the Door for Chinese EVs in Canada

So I think its pretty interesting how canada is looking to expand its trade ties with china to reduce its reliance on us 🤝🏽. the idea of allowing up to 49k chinese made evs into the country is definitely a game changer for the auto sector, and i can see why they'd want to attract more investment from china 📈.

at the same time, im curious about how this will play out in practice, especially considering the current tensions between us and china over trade 🤔. but on paper, it seems like canada is trying to position itself as a more neutral player in the global trade landscape, which could potentially benefit everyone involved 🌎.

i also think its worth noting that the us still has a significant lead in terms of trade with canada, so we'll have to see how this partnership develops and whether it'll be enough to close the gap 💸. but hey, you've got to be willing to take calculated risks when it comes to trade policy, right? 🤷‍♂️
 
so i was talking to my friend who just moved back from canada and he was saying how tense things were between them and china... like, they used to be super close but then trump started all this drama about trade and stuff 🤔. anyway, it's kinda interesting that canada is trying to loosen up their ties with the us and reach out to china instead. i mean, china has been growing so fast and investing in all these cool tech projects, so it makes sense that canada would want a piece of that action 💻.

i'm actually hoping that this new partnership will lead to some real economic growth for canada... like, they could be major players in the electric vehicle market if they get more investment from china 🚀. and on a personal level, i'm excited to see how it all plays out - like, will we start seeing more chinese-made evs on canadian roads soon? only time will tell 🤞
 
Canada's got some 'splainin' to do about this move... I mean, back in my day, we had a similar deal with Japan and it all worked out okay, right? But seriously, it's kinda weird that they're basically saying "oh, you know what, China is just gonna be our new BFF now". Don't get me wrong, more investment in electric vehicles is a good thing, but what about our own EV industry? We've been working on those for years and now it feels like we're playing catch-up.

And let's not forget about the 15% tariff on canola seed... that's still pretty steep if you ask me. I mean, we used to be able to sell our oil for a decent price, but now it seems like China is just gonna take all our cash. Still, I guess this new partnership could be good for Canada in the long run... fingers crossed they don't get taken advantage of 😊
 
omg u guys i cant even... so canada just basically said screw uss and started a new deal with china lol didnt think theyd take the usa down but mark carney is all about it he's tryna diversify their economy and get away from that toxic trumpy relationship anyways now china is coming in with those electric vehicles and canadas gonna reap the benefits 🚀💰 i mean its not like we should be mad or anything because we did have some beefs with china but at least canada's being proactive here
 
I dont think this is a good idea... 🤔 Canada just became more dependent on China 🚨 I mean, sure, it might bring in some new investment and jobs, but what about our own EV industry? We shouldnt be giving up on innovation just to appease China's economy 💸 And what about the canola seed deal? Is that really worth lowering tariffs from 85% to 15%? 🤷‍♂️ I just think we need to be careful here and not rush into anything... Canada has a great relationship with the US, why fix it? 😐
 
this is super interesting! so canada is basically saying "hey us, we're good" when it comes to trade tensions 🤗 meanwhile china gets in and invests in evs - win-win for them! can't say i blame canada though, they've had some pretty rough times with the usmca and trump's all over their case 🙄
