Industry Minister Melanie Joly said she has made it clear to four Chinese electric vehicle makers that getting more access to the Canadian market will require them to “build where you sell.”
Statistics Canada said real gross domestic product fell 0.1 per cent on an annualized basis in the first three months of this year. That comes after a downwardly revised contraction of one per cent in the fourth quarter of 2025.
Two consecutive quarters of contraction in economic growth is termed a technical recession.
Or… what?
Chinese companies build their cars in China for profit and strategic reasons. What plan does Canada have to force them to change this?
Not allow more than 50,000/yr. Exactly what we are doing now.
And how is that working out for Canada - one of the few countries to currently be in recession?
Canada has had economic slowdown due to US trade policies, but is not in recession. Have fun if you want to make shit up.
