Ontario Premier Doug Ford is publicly calling on the federal government “to immediately match or exceed U.S. tariffs on Chinese imports, including at least a 100-per-cent tariff on Chinese electric vehicles.”His post came less than one month after U.S.
Nonetheless, U.S. National Economic Council Director Lael Brainard also accused China of “flooding global markets” with cheap EVs. China currently has the world's eighth-largest fleet with 33 car-carrying ships, showed data from shipping consultancy Veson Nautical. Japan has the world's largest with 283 ships, followed by Norway's 102, South Korea's 72 and Isle of Man's 61.Ford is worried all the government investment made in battery plants and EV assembly could be affected if Canada doesn’t act.
Flavio Volpe, head of the Automotive Parts Manufacturers’ Association, has been pleading for the same and essentially calls Canada’s response to date not very neighbourly. Neither Mary Ng, federal minister of export promotion, international trade, nor her representatives were immediately available for comment.
