Canada’s government on Monday announced it is imposing a 100% tariff on imports of Chinese-made electric vehicles that matches U.S. tariffs and follows similar plans announced by the European Commission.

What auto industry is Canada protecting? I doubt they think China is subsidizing their EVs to half the cost otherwise.
I would assume they do believe the cars are subsidized or otherwise unfairly priced. But I wouldn’t rule out pressure from US diplomacy encouraged by donations from the American auto industry.
You should rule out donations, Canada’s federal donation rules are pretty strict.
Greed finds a way.
I’m not so sure about that. Federal donation rules are pretty strict. Now, in the provinces and the states this is a totally different story.
“Canada is currently the thirteenth-largest auto-producing nation in the world”
I imagine there’s probably a good amount of subcontracting w/ American ones.
