If things keep getting worse, could Canada in theory steal IP and just try to make the best EV it can by copying others including Tesla (if it’s worth copying)?

It’s a great time to boost Canadian manufacturing. Hint hint Ottawa

On that front, they pretty much already were doing that. The big battery plant in Windsor should be ready to start ramping up production later this year. There was a lot more, but most of it has been paused since Ford decided to delay EV production at Oakville.

Yes there is no reason they wouldn't be able to. Russia is doing it with all the companies that pulled out. The McDonald's there is still running with Russian supplies*

Historically, companies like coke during WW2 when they lost access to the syrup invented Fanta. Wasn't the same product as it is now but they still went their own way during war times.

*I have not verified if this is still true but it was when the war began and MD pulled out.

Guess how China climb out of the poverty: copycat.
