Today, the Honourable Dominic LeBlanc, Minister of Finance and Intergovernmental Affairs, and the Honourable Mélanie Joly, Minister of Foreign Affairs, announced that the Government of Canada is moving forward with 25 per cent tariffs on $155 billion worth of goods in response to the unjustified and unreasonable tariffs imposed by the United States (U.S.) on Canadian goods.

Oh I agree 100%. But remember, you don't need automobile manufacturing just to manufacture private vehicles. You need it for buses, commercial vehicles (like actual commercial pickups) and so on.

With self driving tech becoming production ready, we'll likely see a huge boost in self driving buses, smaller vans and so on to provide high frequency public transit to low density areas.

We need an automobile industry for that in Canada.

Oof, self-driving cars are crap. Not looking forward to busses. But are car manufacturers really the same ones that make public transportation vehicles?
