I imagine if US manufacturers do leave, Canada will just pivot to EU and Asian brands.
I would love to buy an EV, but our only options in Canada are US brands. The Chinese EVs are more efficient, longer range, and cheaper (if it didn’t have 100% tariff on it). The only reason the tariffs are on those cars is to help protect the US auto markets.
I think it’s safe to say the USA is no longer our friend and we owe them jack shit at this point. Remove the Chinese EV tariffs, bring in these cheap EVs, and we can move away from oil sooner.

Kia and Hyundai are both Korean and sell EVs in Canada.
