Well we're going to have a new president in a little over 2 years so I'm not sure why you say "never."

Three years, unless something happens to Trump or he resigns or is impeached and removed. This is still the first of his four years in office, though it feels like longer.

Ha you're right but anyway... two or three years isn't "never"

Fair point, I'd say probably not until early next decade unless something substantial changes politically in the US. By that point, the EV demand in the US will probably be high enough to force allowing imports unless domestic manufacturers have finally figured out how to make affordable EVs.

No—but there's been enough talk among Republicans suggesting that they intend to prevent or rig further elections to raise doubt about whether we're going to get free and fair elections in 2028.

You're awaiting a new president with hopes the Chinese can again saturate the market with more of their cheap junk?

Are BYD junk? They sure are nice to ride in. Feel comparable to Tesla.

As opposed to American cars, which are, as we all know, not junk.

Maybe you mean the US market. In Canada we don't have a Hitler wannabe yet at the top, so we might still get them.

I'm not sure if the USA will allow them in Canada either. Pushing back against China is one of the few things both parties agree with right now.

Canada's auto industry is tied to the US's. As much as BYD coming to the US would hurt all of North America's auto industry. BYD coming to Canada would also hurt the auto industry. They are just too interconnected.

As is Mexico's, but BYD is available there — as well in a number of other North American countries.
> BYD coming to Canada would also hurt the auto industry.
To be fair, it is already hurting from the attacks launched by the USA. Canada has been considering partnering with China instead as a result of this. BYD is looking more and more realistic.

While I wouldn't piss on him to put him out, the Trump administration is not the nucleus of anti-chinese sentiment. It happened way before him. He's just loud and hamfisted about it.
Canada specifically, as a major supplier to US auto manufacturers and a resource economy in it's own right, should be wary of cozying up to Chinese business.
