it's actually a red herring because the chinese evs are small cars and the american-canadian auto industry ony creates pickup trucks and suvs, because they're more profitable. the chinese evs pose no discernible threat to any american made product.

what they do pose a threat to, and will be competing with, is german, korean and japanese made smaller cars, which are dominating the market because they're what people want. the chinese evs could be damaging to volkswagon or honda, but they pose no real threat to ford or gm.

the best idea is to convince the chinese to make the cars in ontario.
