    “Open the door to Chinese EVs” isn’t a simple solution because it has wider reaches than restricting Tesla-imports. There’s a reason Germany just effected tariffs on chinese EVs, namely because they are arguing that as china subsidizes their EVs, naturally non-subsidized local companies could never be price-competitive.

    I don’t know how that situation is in canada, but I bet similar things have to be looked at.

    I like the solution, but it’s not a simple one.
