Canada's Chinese auto gamble: Sacrificing security for market access?

Stephen Beatty, former senior executive at Toyota Canada and automotive consultant, examines Canada's emerging auto policy following Mark Carney's China visit. He analyzes the proposed tariff-rate quota for Chinese vehicles, questions about pricing assumptions, and potential manufacturing incentives for foreign brands. He also explores how these policies intersect with CUSMA negotiations, cybersecurity concerns around EVs, and Canada's strategic position between U.S. market access demands and Chinese investment opportunities.
