Canada to join Mexican narco state in complaint about U.S. auto industry move

OTTAWA — Canada will sign onto a complaint against the United States over its interpretation of how free trade should apply to the continental auto industry, another sign of souring ties between the two neighbours.

Trade Minister Mary Ng said on Thursday that Canada would join Mexico in asking for a dispute settlement panel under the terms of the U.S.-Mexico-Canada (USMCA) trade pact.

… Mexico and Canada are also unhappy about proposed U.S. tax breaks for American-based manufacturers of electric vehicles. This, they say, could undermine the highly integrated North American auto industry.
