      You generally don’t want to incentivize the practice of dumping since its goal is putting competition out of business.

        Don’t really care about the competition. I care about having cheap access to EVs. If the competition can’t compete, then fuck em. That’s not my problem.

          EVs won’t be cheap for long if there’s no competition.

            Is there any domestically produced competition in Canada? The only one a search returns is still a concept (not yet commercially available). Everything else looks to be imported from elsewhere?

        Canada doesn’t really have its own automaker. We do have American subsidiaries of Ford, etc. and if they’re gonna go under we’ll deal with that when it happens.

      I don’t think Canada needs poorly made and barely working Chinese crap.

        Been to Mexico lately? BDS and other Chinese manufacturers are killing it, they make Teslas look like a Model T.

          Really? My aunt buys Chinese things all the time, and yes, the things are cheap, but in a bad sense of the word, they are poorly made.

          Questionable, my aunt bought a bunch of Chinese crap, and it’s all badly made and barely fulfills its functions. For example, the kettle has a handle that barely holds and is constantly wobbly, the meat grinder has a blade so blunt that it doesn’t even cut… meat, and so on.

          Also, these things were probably made by slaves (and some of them, like phones, may be spyware), so…

            Here’s where I’m at.

            If you buy shit, you get shit. If you go on Amazon looking for a Chinese-made chef’s knife, the options are $5 to $150.

            If you want to blame someone for having a home full of chinese shit, the blame isn’t on China. It’s on your aunt lmao.

              Thank you, Captain Obvious, too bad that people aren’t mages and can’t understand the quality of a product through a screen, right?

              Am I supposed to blame my aunt for the fact that Chinese shit out poorly made crap? Strange logic, but she should definitely stop buying this crap… too bad she’s the type of person who doesn’t listen to anyone. Anyway, good thing is that my house isn’t full of Chinese crap, because I don’t buy it, she only gave me a few things, but I trashed those things to hell long ago.

          If I remember correctly, Doc was talking about Japan in the movie, not China :/
