Pierre Poilievre unveils plan to protect Canadas auto industry, focusing on exports to the U.S. His proposal includes exempting Canadian-made vehicles from federal sales tax and introducing a dollar-for-dollar rule on tariffs. Meanwhile, Prime Minister Mark Carneys government is running consultations on import credits for companies making cars in Canada. Industry experts worry about shifting away from the U.S. market, where most Canadian vehicles go. Canadian auto production has dropped nearly fifty percent since 2016, and Poilievres broader pitch includes scrapping electric and plug-in hybrid subsidies, creating North American cybersecurity standards, and banning vehicles with Chinese or Russian software.
