GM Canada supports potential tariffs on Chinese EV imports amid market concerns

The potential of tariffs on Chinese electric vehicle imports is being welcomed by the Canadian head of General Motors as major producer BYD looks to enter the market.

“We’re encouraged by the government’s examination of these issues,” said Kristian Aquilina, president of GM Canada.

“Because on the basis of strong competition, a fair playing field, it encourages us to invest heavily, employ deeply.”


Who can blame a carpetbagger for wanting free money?

Junior can let his Chinese pals flood Canada with cheap vehicles undermining the investment of our money in EV tech manufacturing or he can impose tariffs that will likely only delay the inevitable collapse of the EV fad.

OTTAWA – Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s new minister of labour and seniors thinks his party is fully capable of pulling off an upset in next year’s election.

The blue-grit-Paul Martin-era-political-wonk doesn’t like labels. But Steven MacKinnon is either delusional or a soothsayer.

He should not be allowed sharp instruments.

Introducing the Latest EV Headache: ‘Charger Hogs‘

To attempt to address the growing issue of ill-mannered electric vehicle owners hogging fast chargers, Electrify America is experimenting with a strict limit at 10 of its busiest charging stations in California.

CNN reports that the growing popularity of electric vehicles has led to a significant increase in demand for public fast charging. However, this demand has also brought to light a frustrating issue for many EV owners: “charger hogs.” These inconsiderate drivers linger at fast chargers, even when their batteries are nearly full, causing long wait times for others in need of a charge.

Elon Musk targets Keir Starmer AGAIN in another barrage of tweets comparing Britain to the Soviet Union

Elon Musk has hit back again at Sir Keir Starmer in the row over his claims that Britain is on the brink of an ‘inevitable’ civil war by accusing the British police of two-tier policing in a tweet to 196million people.

The billionaire also compared the UK to the Soviet Union because of arrests over what people have been saying on Facebook as riots break out across the UK.

He even shared a Family Guy meme and joked that Britain might bring back the death penalty for social media posts that offend politicians. Sharing an image of Peter Griffin in the electric chair he said: ‘In 2030 for making a Facebook comment that the UK government didn’t like’.

I don’t care how many shoe stores are looted. I am sticking with the Brits.

FORSETH: Too many, too soon… half the country calls for immigration slow down

Canadians are divided over record-high immigration numbers. Despite growing community resentment, the NDP-Liberal government plans to admit 485,000 in 2024, 500,000 in 2025, and then stabilize at the 500,000 level. This policy is irresponsible.

The community experience is that these levels must be lowered to achieve social integration, job market balance, and reasonable housing. Historically, 250,000 immigrants and 20,000 refugees worked and this was supported by Canadians.
