Trump says U.S. doesn't need CUSMA trade deal, takes aim at Canada
ctvnews.ca/canada/article/we-d…
So here is what should happen but will not.
Remove tariff on EV from China, the 100% meant to protect the American lobby
Repeal the anti-jailbreak provision of Harper Bill C-11 as suggested by @pluralistic
Make Canada the center of right to repair. This will fuck companies like HP, Apple, TESLA, John Deere, etc.
‘We don’t need cars made in Canada’: Trump calls CUSMA ‘irrelevant’ and takes aim at Canada

"Well our politician show how much courage they have. There is a lot of pretend to do, very little action."
Examples:
- Getting off X?
- Digital Service Tax?
- IT sovereignty ? (I need to pay two american companies to apply for a passport because of their IT choices, not even talking about filing taxes)

in reply to John Mierau • • •@john I would add "comprehensive privacy legislation" encompassing the collection of data including vehicle, where they can be hosted and the penalties.
It's kind of orthogonal but it's an essential part of what we need too.

It is what the CEOs and millionaires who have the ear of the politicians want to protect.

in reply to Hubert Figuière • • •That canola tariff?
Is it harming Cargill, Louis Dreyfus, Richardson, ADM, Bunge and Viterra more than Canadian farmers? Will farmers be any better off with six multinationals chipping away at their profits than China?
"The biggest impact on farmers of the Chinese tariff situation may not be lost sales to China, but increased profiteering by the vertically integrated grain and oilseed processing multinationals. "

in reply to ShutterBugged • • •@developing_agent because when the surveillance is done by the US, it's OK? Each time I see that arguement I shall remind people that US car maker do the exact same (and Japanese, German, etc). So if that's your fear then why not regulate that. (I'm totally on board)
Otherwise it's just veiled anti-china..

in reply to Hubert Figuière • • •No surveilence is ok, and there definitely should be privacy laws.
But do you really think chinese cars *won't* come with it? It is a known fact that they surveil drivers in ways that extend beyond those of other automakers.
P.S. and you haven't addressed other points either. What do you say to canadian manufacturing workers on a japanese or european-owned production line?
