Why does Canada tariff them? Do they have domestic production they are protecting?

Canada assembles vehicle for Detroit and Japan. About 400,000 direct and indirect jobs, mostly in Ontario.

I have no idea why we bother to tariff EVs when they barely crack 7 percent in sales and at best may see 25 percent.

We do manufacturer some cars

The government justified its “tariff fortress” by pointing to China’s extensive industrial policy, such as subsidies, that artificially lower production costs. The tariffs were claimed to protect domestic producers by offsetting the cost advantage enjoyed by Chinese EV manufacturers.
