The Spin

Anti-China narrative

Implementing harsh taxes on Chinese-made EV imports is the appropriate course of action since China will flood the country with artificially cheap EVs and undercut the domestic EV manufacturing industry, jeopardizing Canadian jobs. Matching US tariffs on Chinese imports, — including at least a 100% tariff on Chinese EVs — will protect billions of dollars in public money and foreign investments in Canada's auto manufacturing sector.

Global News

Pro-China narrative

Imposing high import tariffs on Chinese-made EVs is trade protectionism and violates World Trade Organization regulations. The tariff would hurt companies from both nations, Canadian consumers, and Canada's green transition and climate change mitigation. Canada should remedy this mistake since it would gravely damage the global trade system.
