So we fuck over a major Ontario industry to unfuck a major Saskatchewan industry.

BYD and Geely are dumping EVs below cost, hiding a debt that may be bigger than Evergrande. The point is to put local auto industry out of business.

And while people somehow see the appeal of TEMU cars, the reality in Australia is that buyers are complaining about poor reliability already after just 2 years.

The Ontario EV industry at any point can start making a smaller, cheaper EV that's not a Crossover SUV abomination. We need smaller smart car sized EVs in the sub $20,000 range (in addition to better transit, please don't crucify me Lemmy).

Exactly.

Evolve with the future or die with the past.

Speaking as someone who still mourns the loss of the Australian car industry.
