Ford Warns Carney on China Trip — What the 100% EV Tariff Standoff Actually Means

Описание: Ontario Premier Doug Ford is reportedly urging Prime Minister Mark Carney to hold firm on China's electric vehicles when he travels to Beijing next week. This video breaks down what the 100% tariff dispute means for Canada, why Ford says "we can't back down," and what Carney faces as he attempts to repair a relationship pushed to breaking point.

While Carney prepares to meet President Xi Jinping, he faces competing pressures from within Canada itself. Ontario wants the EV tariffs maintained to protect autoworkers. Prairie provinces want relief from Chinese retaliation tariffs on canola, seafood, and pork. And Beijing has its own demands — including claims that Chinese EV giant BYD faced "huge difficulties, restrictions and obstruction" when it tried to invest in Canada.

This may not be a simple diplomatic trip: if Carney reduces tariffs on Chinese EVs, he faces backlash from Ontario and autoworkers. If he maintains them, Prairie farmers continue suffering. And if he seeks a middle ground, he must navigate a relationship still scarred by the arbitrary detention of Canadians Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor — depending on what Beijing is willing to accept and what domestic pressures allow.
