      Let Canadians have the choice of any car that meets Canadian safety, privacy, and other laws.

      Why do Conservatives want to limit my freedom?

    3. FingalForever on

      Wholly disagree – as others have said, let them make this a campaign promise.

    4. Evilbred on

      Yeah, lets keep the best electric vehicles out of our country.

      Can’t have Canadians getting used to having affordable good quality cars!

      „Capitalism breeds innovation and competition“

      When the innovative competition comes:

      Great timing with current gas prices, I’m sure it’s going to be popular.

      Is this their way of saying they want Chinese tariffs on Canola, Lumber and fisheries products?

      Can we properly rephrase it as „Canada Conservatives Want to Force More Reliance on Unpredictable and Unreliable USA“?

    10. Emotional-Buy1932 on

      We subsidize them more than China does and get far less. Yet they want consumers to have less choice and to be at their mercy.

      Like if the cars we already hava didn’t gobble up all your info for anybody who’s willing to pay for it. How fucking stupid is this cherry picking shit

      „more trade reliance on the US“ is never going to be a winning strategy. Prepare for a decade of Carney

      Conservatives have really turned into the party of ‚anti-freedom‘. All they wan to do is restrict (unless your a billionaire then it’s do whatever you want)

    17. mustardman73 on

      So you’re telling us that Australia and Europe have already fallen to our Chinese EV overlords? Mind as well join them.

    18. MethodicallyRight on

      It’s kind of funny too because while I fully understand why some people will view BYD as benefiting from unfair trade practices (subsidies from the Chinese Government) which I could normally go along with as a reason to restrict trade. I have to weigh that against what N.A does with its massive Auto-Bailouts. Is it really worse to invest in your own Countries sectors preemptively than waiting for their terrible business decisions to bring them to the brink of bankruptcy and then throwing them billions in bailouts?

      PP’s replacement, Jamil Javani, was sucking up to the US. PP is sucking up to the US. It is clear what is happening. 

      It’s also funny that Javani’s riding lost jobs when the GM plant cut shifts. And he wants more reliance on American cars.

      Canadian conservatives are worse for our country rather than any Chinese cars.

    23. Swimming-Food-6664 on

      We need affordable evs. Plain and simple. Your smart tvs are already spying. Don’t see you whining about it now.

    24. steve-rap on

      Conservatives turned into the snowflakes in record time. Its amusing to watch.
      They still cling to the idea that our war-mongering, criminal, neighbor is still our path to salvation.

      Im not implying that China should be our new friends – but the idea that we submit to America, and all the tariffs we put on China **for them,** should continue is crazy

    26. ImprovementJust7634 on

      The argument that chinese vehicles can listen to your conversation and if you badmouthing the chinese government snd travel to china you could get in trouble possibly, but that is now a bigger problem when traveling to the US. So let the cheapers chinese vehicles in. Atleast you know where china stands but the US has betrayed their closest ally. You tell me why should we stand with them and not diversify our trading partners. Conservatives for idiots.

      We went from Never Hwawai to Open Espionage in less than 5 years.

      Our country cannot function on hypocrisy forever, for a nation without values and ethics that it stands by is nothing but a colony for others to shape.

      Lots of jobs in Ontario are depending on building Americans cars .

      An affordable , reliable Chinese ev car could decimate the auto industry in Ontario.

      And since the province is conservative, not surprising PP is trying to help.

    31. dariusCubed on

      Before you can outright ban Chinese EVs, you need to get a Certfied Information Systems Auditor to perform a Security Audit. This is the only way to prove or disprove how vulnerable a system, software, or network is.

      Making claims without at least performing a security audit and having a baseline of facts is reckless, it shouldn’t come as suprise that back in 2020 many COVID deniers were Conservatives.

      Seems like the American empire is stagnating and falling behind while China’s is surging.. Fossil fuel has got less of a hold on the world economy year after year (solar/wind/batteries/EVs) and China may soon be the biggest economy in the world (2nd to the US currently). Sounds foolish to sever ties with that economy into the future… even though China may have human rights issues, so does the USA… Canada will do down economically even faster with the US’s downfall if Canada can’t diversify trade with EU and Asia/China.

    33. No_Celery_5373 on

      I’m happy that Carney is putting in the work to diversify us away from being lockstep with the United States, and there’s no need to restrict consumer freedom of choice.

      I believe the conservatives are failing to read the room at the moment. 

    34. -Neeckin- on

      It’s baffling, seeing them take this stance and the want for more trade with the US in this political climate

    35. CapableCollar on

      This is such an odd issue because while I feel in initial polls support can go either way it isn’t something most people actually care about enough and doesn’t actually address dangers of dealing with China.  Most people don’t care that much if a car is Chinese or American once they see the price tag and get to sit behind the wheel.  They will be worried about things like infrastructure, maintenance, and cold weather longevity since it is an EV on top of usual car concerns but if Chinese brands do bring in cheaper cars, almost nobody will care.  It doesn’t matter if China actively spies on them during their commute, they are just a little happy they could afford a new car and appreciate that their commute is a couple dollars a day cheaper.

      For the dangers of China look at somewhere like Brazil, where China was paying so much for raw goods it partially de-industrialized the country as all the money flower into those markets.  Then Chinese companies were able to buy up Brazilian industries and industrial land for cheap.  The counter to that without burning the economy isn’t something I could see conservatives running on though so I don’t expect anything but performative solutions put forward.

      A good number, perhaps majority of Chinese EV manufacturers use Blackberry QNX software as the car’s operating system.

      Banning Chinese EVs and their software will mean Chinese manufactures will dump Blackberry QNX which is a Canadian product…

      This chart, probably „mostly“ accurate shows the software stack of Chinese auto manufacturers. As you can see, it’s built on top of mostly Western software platforms.

      I usually vote right of centre, but PP is making it very hard.

    39. WineNot2Drink on

      So the same for Musk right? A hostile foreign power run car company that is chummy with a dictator (depending on the week)

    42. Cognitive_Offload on

      Canadian conservatives like to propagate fear, rhetoric, distrust of others but simultaneously love selling all our public assets to private companies.

    43. Salty_Wedding3845 on

      Canadian Conservatives can rightly be ignored.. theirs boos mean nothing, we have seen what they cheer for.

    44. Inevitable_Sweet_624 on

      Bet if it was Russian EV’s with Russian software it would be ok.

    45. geeves_007 on

      How about just like I can choose to not buy a Tesla because the CEO of Tesla has proven himself to be a fascist-aligned loser, conservatives can choose not to buy a BYD because they are sinophobic?

      So reliably on the wrong side of almost every single issue possible.  A baffling ideology, that „conservatism“…

    46. ole_dirty_bastid on

      Blocking access to cheaper goods during a time when everyone is struggling to make ends meet is an interesting strategy to gain popularity… Seriously, what do these guys do besides give tax cuts to corporations?

    47. HurtFeeFeez on

      This should in theory force the competitors to lower their prices. Banning Chinese just allows them to keep the prices high.

    49. Aromatic_Sand8126 on

      And what is the alternative to chinese EVs? American EVs? Fuck that. China is the lesser of two evils right now. I’d rather walk uphill both ways than buy any american car.
