    So I’m guessing that Automakers will just start pulling out of Canada? Does Canada even have any automakers of their own, besides Edison?

      We have independant parts manufacturing, Autosystems had 3 plants in belleville and prolly lots more around the coutry, we have the skilled labour in that sector, so if someone with enough money wants to, they def can start up car manufacturing fairly easily for the circumstances

        I mean, maybe? But it’ll cost a lot compared to places like China and India, so it’ll be luxury cars only. And the market will basically be just Canada.

      There’s Lion Electric in Quebec but it’s very early and a while. before anything from them hits the consumer market.

      They do buses right now but they have shown prototypes of consumer cars in the past.
