    Trump is actively trying to kill Canada’s car industry. So if China is willing to do so, Canada should lift the tariffs on their EVs in exchange for a quota of cars or components made in Canada.
    Long term, it is probably a better strategy as US car makers are falling so much behind on EVs they could go down in the coming years, especially if they hang on petro-cars.

    As for the military, it’s never too late to start doing the right thing and diversify its sourcing. No more 100% US by default, and require guarantees on supply and independence.
    Europe and other countries have very good and modern equipments also, mind you.
