Kia APCs here we come
Hoping we continue to deepen our partnership with our Korean friends.
Both of our countries can work together to strength both of our economies for the long-term. If there is an auto plant here, we wouldn’t be raiding it – that’s for sure.
Well, we know the Big 3 are in full retreat back to America. Looking forward to seeing better quality products coming in from the rest of world.
Helping Canada’s auto sector … Canada’s auto sector has siphoned hundreds of billions in taxpayer subsidies for many years. EV battery projects have sucked up $52.5 billion of taxpayer money and counting. I have a company, and the government keeps taking the lion’s share from people like me and giving it to big business. I want my money to go to people that need it to weather hardships, not to prop up big business.
Can we not just take the bid for the best piece of equipment available for our armed forces instead of using procurement to securing voting blocks in southern Ontario?
Why is South Korea able to sustain an advanced car manufacturing sector but Canada is not. It’s very Post-Nation (depressing) that we don’t have our own car brand honestly.
Or… hear me out… military procurement should be focused on military procurement instead of always being super elaborate jobs programs that never deliver anything.
Why Ontario? There are ten provinces.
This procurement is going to be huge! Hopefully we will go after the Swedish planes also.
Not an expert by any means but imo relying on BYD truly does seem short-sighted and like a bandaid solution to relieve American pressures. Especially given that BYD built its foundations from proprietary theft. I do like militarizing to secure the northern trade routes, cool to see that actually manifest.
I can see the trade deal with China as garnering revenue for the time being while transitioning auto sector workers into a new home, while long-term we plan for more structural changes like investing in public transit and moving further away from Mickey mouse autor sector job reliance.
