Ontario Premier Doug Ford is calling on Canadians to boycott Chinese-made electric vehicles when they are allowed back into the country under a deal recently struck by Prime Minister Mark Carney.
Ford has been critical of the deal — and the fact Carney did not speak to him about it in advance — saying it will harm Ontario's auto sector. He took that a step further Wednesday, urging Canadians not to buy the Chinese EVs.
"Boycott the Chinese EV vehicles," he said. "Support companies that are building vehicles here. It's as simple as that."
