Helping China certainly doesn’t help Canada, and there are a lot of other (and better) options than Tesla.

Weird that Mexico and Australia allow them.

Because they have dealerships, maintenance, assembly, parts. All which employ people!

Just like the Japanese, South Korean, German, Swedes, British already have THEIR cars here.!

Strange how that works.

Funny how you compare a bunch of different things and expect people to think they’re all the same.

Do you have any evidence to support such a claim?

Which claim? You're aware of the existing foreign car market in Canada, no?

Any other 'claim' where google doesn't immediately suffice, I'll hold your hand.
