Absolutely bonkers if these mandates are removed but tariffs on Chinese EVs remain. We have no domestic production of EVs and this will tell automakers they dont need to worry about building EVs or competing with China. These are insane policy decisions that just protect automaker profits and removes any incentive for them to adapt or compete.
Have you read the article?
Removing a 20% additional cost for next year's models seems prudent at a time when the industry is being slapped by American tarrifs. The other bit is a 60 day pause.
Maybe long term the solution is BYD, I personally don't think every country needs its own wasteful national EV program, it's a terrible white elephant project.
Long term, turns out our auto sector is entirely dependent on America doing what they promised, which is no longer a guarantee. Changing an entire national industry is much harder than it is in video games, and yeah, deciding whether to later be largely dependent on foreign car manufacturers and fighting out what to do with those factories and workers is incredibly complicated.
Tldr; wouldn't bother with pearl clutching about how this is destroying EV adoption in Canada etc.
CBC's coverage and your reading of it isn't critical enough of the LPC, imo. For CBC's part, their coverage surrounding Air Canada's labour issues the other week made that pretty clear.
The pause appears indefinite for now, the part you cite does not say the pause will be for 60 days, but it might be by intention that you read it that way.
I predicted Carney'd postpone this days ago in another post. My other prediction is that Assolini will not participate in a fair CUSMA renegotiation - nothing about his first 8 months suggests he will.
CPC must be pretty ecstatic. If they can ditch PP for his excessive social conservativism, they can easily win the next federal election as Carney is Conservative. Greenpeace gets it:
Can we please at least admit that a Polievre government certainly would have had a pipeline or two in the upcoming national projects? Please? I cannot think of a more simple but correct example thus far:
