Canada needs to diversify the trade to rely less on the USA. The current gov has a huge problem on their hands but also opportunities to do something new!

When it comes to the EV tariffs I see opportunities for Canada, we have factories, some of the raw materials, Human Resources, experienceand logistics in place for the automotive industry! The Ev industry needs more than the cars there is a new ecosystem that can be worked with Chinese companies by doing knowledge transfer, manufacture autos + parts by bringing the suppliers as well. EVs need batteries and the charging network, we can bring these items to the trade talks.

China al has the largest high-speed rail network and why not expand the deals to help Canada build our high-speed rail Network?

Canada can do this and all other things without close relationships with China or other dictatorships. Such governments aren't reliable partners. There are no human rights in China, no willingness to make supply chains transparent, an the country shields off it domestic markets from foreign competition.

The only thing you mentioned that is real is China is a dictatorship, it is on their constitution “Dictatorship of the people”.

I’m sure you want the good of Canada but like everyone else has been heavily influenced by western propaganda to dismiss China or any other Country that isn’t white western nation!

Not negotiating with dictatorship means no trade between Canada and Saudi Arabia, United States, Hungary, Turkey, Israel.

  • Why China isn’t a reliable partner? Can you back your information with real data?
  • why China supply chain isn’t transparent? Do you work in the industry? Have you visited China to check the suppliers?
  • “China shields itself from foreign competition” isn’t what we just did with Chinese evs to protect from competition?

You got no information about Chinese supply chains, even transparency of stock listed companies in China are almost zero. China is heavily working against transparency standards in supply chains.

China is highly unreliable. Just look at China's Belt and Road Initiative 'partners' and how they do (or look at those who decided to leave the initiative).

There is ample evidence. I also sure you want the best for Canada but like everyone else has been heavily influenced by Chinese propaganda to dismiss China critics absurdly accusing them of being a racist.

I haven’t accused anyone not even you! But you seem to be complete delusional just repeating racist and xenophobia against China without any proof, that’s what I asked and you just go on a rant about China or matter of about any country that isn’t part of the white western nations.
