So I saw a news story from Jesse Kline titled "Freeland's War on Chinese EVs Shows Hypocrisy of Liberal's Climate Agenda". I won't leave a link because the article is a big, fat nothing-burger.
Now the thing is we don't know exactly what the Liberal response will be as they're having a "30 day consultation period" to discuss the matter but I say Kline is trying for a gotcha moment and failed. Canada doesn't need Chinese EVs. They are absolute pieces of crap and frankly, they're dangerous. And with all the connected technology being built into cars these days, they could be used for espionage purposes by unwitting owners. Especially any with the "self-driving" feature whether active or not. Although the lack of vehicle reliability could hamper those efforts.
Canada's response should be to ban Chinese EVs altogether since the CCP is simply using them to dump cheap ass, poorly made cars nobody in China wants or can afford to waste money on. They also have next to no re-sale value.
So no, I personally don't think super-high tariffs or even an outright ban shows any hypocrisy at all when it comes to "climate change". What's your thoughts?
