00:00:00.000 If we have an integrated like auto manufacturing system, which we do, right?
00:00:05.180 I've read that a car part can cross the Canada-US border for one make or model a vehicle like 10 times.
00:00:12.260 So it's all integrated.
00:00:14.160 How could we force people to purchase only EVs or start increasing the quotas?
00:00:22.260 It starts at 20% in four months time.
00:00:25.240 How can Canada do that if the United States isn't?
00:00:30.000 Well, again, it's, you know, just hoping that we can maybe trade with the Americans or rather with the Europeans and forget the Americans. 0.79
00:00:39.280 You know, there are trade relationship with the United States is 15 times greater than that, which we trade with in Europe.
00:00:45.100 So if we think we can turn that out overnight, it's taken 100 years to develop.
00:00:48.160 Good luck. But this is truly political virtue signaling.
00:00:52.440 And the elbows up crowd that thought it was cool and trendy to be able to tell the Americans to go take a hike.
00:00:56.940 you may not like trump but you sure as hell can't agree disagree with why he did it he knows it was
00:01:01.700 going to hurt americans he's standing up for their economy he's not prepared to allow uh uh you know
00:01:06.460 someone to impose an arbitrary deadline you know that says you have to have 100 vehicles by such
00:01:11.500 and such time and spend two to three trillion dollars to obtain that canada doesn't have that
00:01:16.640 kind of ability and that we do rely on the american market as i mentioned 90 of what you
00:01:21.560 produce in ontario so that'd be the toyota factories the stilantis factories the ford
00:01:25.860 factory uh the gm factories all of those have to sell to the united states if the american if the
00:01:31.620 americans are not buying evs and not being told that they have to buy evs now that there's a new
00:01:36.240 uh president and a new administration new epa in town it means that there's no market for this
00:01:41.320 kind of stuff so forcing this on canadians i don't know why they want us to drive all these
00:01:45.440 you know over glorified electric golf carts because frankly they're not practical especially
00:01:49.780 in canada which is a hell of a cold in the united states and for which uh we don't have the as you
00:01:54.000 pointed out very correctly we don't have the electrical infrastructure nor the
00:01:57.720 money to back it up.
