Of course … Canada and China reach tariff deal on electric vehicles, canola
BEIJING — Canada will lower its U.S.-aligned tariffs against Chinese electric vehicles in exchange for China reducing tit-for-tat tariffs against Canadian canola and seafood, a deal that has the potential to anger U.S. President Donald Trump.
Under the agreement, Canada will allow a small toehold for up to 49,000 Chinese EVs to enter the Canadian market at a tariff rate of 6.1 percent, down from the current tariff rate of 100 per cent that Ottawa applied on Chinese-made EVs in fall 2024.
Prime Minister Mark Carney said it simply returns to a rate that Canada once had with China in 2023 prior to its “recent trade frictions.”
He underscored Chinese manufacturers — who churn out electric cars far more cheaply than North American-made EVs — will invest in auto production in Canada.
WARMINGTON: Mark Carney tells China, Canada ready for ‘New World Order’
When you have Prime Minister Mark Carney talking to leaders in China about the “new world order,” one has to wonder what could be coming next.
Social credit scores? Digital ID? More carbon taxes? More net zero talk? Fifteen minute cities?
