Canada is now considering adding tariffs to those vehicles that are imported from China. A report from Reuters said that Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland said on Monday that it would consider tariffs on China-made EVs as she called the country’s “state-directed policy of overcapacity” a factor of unfair competition:“Chinese producers are quite intentionally generating a global oversupply that undermines EV producers around the world, including here in Canada.”Just last week, Doug Ford, the Premier of Ontario, said the country could consider the option of ” immediately match[ing] or exceed[ing] U.S. tariffs on Chinese imports, including at least a 100 percent tariff on Chinese electric vehicles.”Ford said:“Taking every advantage of low labor standards and dirty energy, China is flooding the market with artificially cheap electric vehicles. Unless we act fast, we risk Ontario and Canadian jobs.”
