LONDON, Ont.—Doug Ford is taking a veiled shot at federal Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre, saying whoever is the next prime minister must continue Canada’s supports for the auto industry — particularly in electric vehicles.
On the second day of Ontario’s Feb. 27 election campaign, the Progressive Conservative leader, who is seeking a third term in office, said Ontario would maintain its share of funding for EV battery production subsidies to automakers even if U.S. President Donald Trump tears up the Inflation Reduction Act.
That silent scream is Ford realizing the massive amounts of tax dollars poured into the EV industry will never be a viable investment.
