Probably because local industry needs to sell vehicles to make money, not go into $40B debt fronted by the Chinese government.

For every EV sold, Ford sells 15 F150s.

EV sales are barely 6%, you want to try and stay alive with 6% of the market? EU sales are higher, but EU is warmer and they drive a fraction of the distances of Canada.
