While Premier Ford blasts PM Carney for his “terrible, miscalculated” EV deal with China, opposition leaders say he should’ve been at the table: “where was Doug Ford?” Meanwhile, GM auto workers are bracing for layoffs: “we’re not gonna be able to compete with Chinese imports.”

Never take economics advice from an #InheritanceMillionaire that couldn’t keep his father’s legacy sticker business afloat

Who jumped the gun when Ford posted the anti tarriff ad in the states? Who was terribly calculating Trump back then? So why can’t Canada have choice on the EVs they want to purchase? Just because the auto makers in North America aren’t up to snuff? Is that Carney’s fault? FO Ford

We don't care what the corrupt Ford government has to say. He can shut the hell up. He's the biggest reason that we can't afford anything...

Ontarian here - shut up, Dougie. This wee pittance of EVs from China won’t impact anything. The demented dotard down south is the one to tank the auto industry, not a trickle from China. 🙄

Maybe they should figure out how to make cars that cost less than a down payment on a house.

Can someone find Ontario a new Premier….with some integrity and an IQ?

Really? If GM auto workers cannot compete with 50K vehicles across Canada, what really do they have to offer consumers ?

WHO the fuck would bring that loud mouthed, rude, misogynistic excuse of a "premier" to China? @fordnation you are NOTHING but a #grifting #liar LOOK how he's treated #unions & #workers:

Donald Trump quote WE DON‘T WANT VEHICLES BUILT IN CANADA

GM doesn’t produce Ev in Ontario So when they do they can compete. It’s deal for EV’s I worked the corporate sode for a big three and I will tell you trucks of any manufacturer are not worth 120 K lol

#GovernorFord is mad because the PM wouldn't let him sabotage this deal.

@MEEKSVS He’s been unfit from day one. Subsidies were lost day 1.

Doug was hiding at the cottage again!

US automakers only make one EV in Canada. The Dodge Charger a 2-dr muscle car EV priced at $55K. Chinese EV’s are mostly 4dr family cars priced at $35K. Where is the market competition to drive layoffs?

Has anyone asked GM why they can’t compete? What’s holding them back?

Maybe if someone wouldn’t have blown up the recent talks with the US trying to embarrass Trump publicly. Ford doesn’t have a leg to stand on here, the world is changing hop on the train or get out of the way. China is not an adversary, we can all just get along!!!

The GM workers sticking up for GM meanwhile their jobs are slowly being cut and moved south. This deal is amazing for most other provinces in Canada. As an Ontario resident, you can't blame the federal government for looking out for what's best for Canada across the board.

Gm doesn't make small EVs..

PMMC could not babysit two hillbillies

From Doug the destroyer, not the look ahead planer or leader. Oh right he might have to change his “friends “. Oh look Doug there’s GM and the parts manufacturers following you. How about all of you get involved in the negotiation.

@TinaYazdani the cia is able to hack into several brands of automobiles, all of which are sold in Canada. As per their own whistleblowers and documents.

Maybe Canadians are tired of bailing out those big car companies in Canada! Did you think of that? How many times has our government given them money and they still want more!

And interrupt his cheesecake making time? Nah

People are ignoring the fact that Trump was going to kill the Canadian auto industry. You can't blame China for the present situation. Carney is just doing his job as head banker.

Florida

GM doesn’t make any EVs in Canada ? They have stopped production of the Brightdrop in October. They make batteries for cars in the US

As Americans close plant after plant, UAW, can't see the future and neither does Ford. He should be selling Ontarians expertise in car assembly, parts manufacturing etc. Right now, the number of cars is about 3%. When they want to grow that, we insist on building them here.

He’s a lose canon! He can’t be trusted! And he’s a lying POS!

Stay in your lane @fordnation. You've F'd up Ontario enough and you need to fix it. How about you spend that Fed money you pocketed on Education and Healthcare.

Obviously it’s a great deal if lying incompetent Doug Ford is against it!!

Less than 3% of the auto sales market in Canada? Really? You cannot compete with that?

Chicken Littles get a grip. It's only 49000 cars in a market that sells 2 million cars a year. Canadians need affordable evs because they NA an EU car mfrs have lost their minds trying to sell expensive cars working people can't afford. He should get the EV charging stations 2.

They are small cars?? You idiots think Trump is going to let Canada build American cars?? Chinese cars are better & beautiful.

Ontario can't compete with anything. Doug Ford is only focused on booze, corruption and cronyism; is a closet Liberal who doesn't show up for work most of the year and Ontario voters were stupid to elect him again. The economic devastation to come is 100% earned.
