    Canada doesn’t have the incentives that the Americans have at all. Correct me if I’m wrong. America’s incentive is to protect its own EV industry, Canada doesn’t have an EV industry of its own.

      The incentive for the US is the US government can spy on its citizens. China could care less if you drove to planned parenthood last week…The Republicans on the other hand want to burn people at the stake for it.

      Elon gets the added bonus of whacking off to people doing unsavory things in his cars.

      You’re wrong. Just the nature of of the auto industry makes it a little confusing since the entirety of a car isn’t manufactured in one country. But there are a lot of components for EVs manufactured in Canada. There’s especially a focus on manufacturing batteries for EVs which is the single most important component in an EV. And more plants for battery manufacturing are under construction.
