That said, I do believe that Teslas actually contain very little if any Canadian parts, so even a flat-out ban on Tesla imports will likely do little harm to Canadian workers. And while we don't really make much electric vehicles locally, we can import European ones which would help tighten our relations with them as a bonus.
Sorry. I wasn’t clear in my earlier comment.
I meant that the US administration would react poorly to a provocation like targeting Tesla specifically and lash out in ways that cause further harm.
So while I would personally choose to start a public pissing contest because I’m mad as hell— Carney’s more mature approach will cause less pain in the short term.
The good news is that Canadians are rejecting Teslas with or without any tariffs. Which is maybe even a bigger FU to Musk because he can’t even blame a government for his failures. I drive a South Korean EV and it’s a fantastic vehicle, and as you said some of the European ones are quite good too.
Yea, while I don't agree with a lot of things Carney is planning on doing, I have to admit that he is quite mature and actually acts like an adult when under pressure. It's good to see a cool head to lead this country when people have such a habit at instant knee-jerk reactionary actions lately.
