Now they're whining that Buy Canadian is a trade irritant.. Do as we say, not as we do? And I just saw some FaceButt post that they won't let you cross into the USA driving a Chinese car.

herbie Posted April 7 Report Posted April 7 Best thing about brigning Chinese EVs in is it will kick the Big 3 in the ass, which they all need desperately. Cowing to the troglodyte Trump and his anti-EV and cave in on CAFE standards by reverting to ICE has closed the door halfway on their survival in a decade. Sure they're making an effort, but not in promoting them enough to bring prices down via mass production. Then the m)ron goes on to start a gas price crisis in under a year! And he'll solve that by watering down the gas with more corn likker.... hyuk hyuk! 1 Quote
herbie Posted April 7 Report Posted April 7 (edited) Have a couple friends who still drive like they're 20. Nonstop hotshots to Vancouver or Calgary. One's so cheap they bring sandwiches and if the roads are shitty, sleep in the car at a pullout. They think I'm nuts for considering a full EV as well as a PHEV, but wifey was on insulin, so qw got used to stopping every 3 hours or so for food. And ovenighting halfway, Any EV with over 359 km range is more than enough, There's at least 4 charging places in every town along Hwys 1, 97, 18 almost all with a Timmys or diner within a bock, Timmies itself intends to install chargers right in their lots over the coming years snd McDs abd A&W should get onboard with that. I most likely won't consider a Chinese EV, they won't be on the market soon enough. Japanese or Korea, they'll kick the Big 3 to the curb over the next decade. Edited April 7 by herbie Quote

It’s not advisable to get friendly with the Chinese. That’s how you got on America’s shit list in the first place. Doubling down won’t help you. Your original sin is believing Canada is a sovereign nation. It is not. You are a unincorporated territory of America. So behave. It’s not like we want to exchange family pleasantry with you.

Not as much as we used to in the past and it’s for strategic reasons. Did Biden remove those tariff on Canadian steel and aluminum? Did he? Yeah I get being a petulant little brother to the American but don’t get in our National Security interest, it won’t turn out well for Canada, or any country that does. Quote

AI: "Chinese goods accounted for only 13.3% of U.S. imports in 2024, down from 21.6% in 2017 but some decreases may be attributed to trade fraud, shipping, and accounting adjustments where goods are rerouted through other countries rather than completely stopping production in China." So, US business with China is still very much alive but businesses have found a way around tariffs LOL While I think building Chinese cars in Canad is no only a good idea...it would be a smart idea. With American automakers reducing manufacture or just closing plants, they can be easily used to make EV's for Canadians plus, it would pi$$ off Trump LOL But, the government has already shut that down...Stellantis can say what they want but...government will decide. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/business/article-stellantis-chinese-evs-leapmotor-melanie-joly-brampton/ Edited April 8 by ExFlyer 1 Quote You are entitled to your opinion, but you are not entitled to tell me what mine should be.
