    I think you’re unaware of the Chinese interference in Canada. By Chinese, I mean CCP. Assassinations, interference in elections, you name it. Just because they’re not vocally hostile like Trump and Musk doesn’t mean they’re not doing significant damage.

      As far as I’m aware only India is assassinating people on Canadian soil, pretty weird to get those mixed up ngl, but you’re right that they’re not a friend.

      Fortunately, you don’t need to be friends with someone to buy cheap cars from them.

      Personally I find pointing to the slave labor a more compelling argument but that still leaves them in a better position than America who is literally threatening to invade and annex Canada how do you not get this.

        I think having your production chain run through corrupt entities is just asking for future problems. CCP having backdoor access to EVs would be an amazing leverage tool for them, even if not directly referred to. “Hey, remember all those fully automatable, internet connected vehicles we sold you?”

          Sure. It shouldn’t be a national crisis to check the programs to make sure they can’t do that though.

          And how’s that different from the other major EV producers? Including the one THREATENING TO INVADE CANADA.

          I’m starting to think some of you people only read French even if you type in English.
