Yeah, people shouldn’t support any dictatorship.

Nah, we must rather take these accords seriously that we sign, because they are necessary.

The sad thing is that Canada’s climate actions are rated ‘highly insufficient’, very much as China’s, and only slightly better than the U.S., while no country is on track to meet the Paris goal … [Source]

Yeah, and just six countries produce nearly 60% of the world’s oil and gas. One is Canada, the others are the United States, Russia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and China.

[Edit typo.]

The first China-made car in Canada in this deal was Tesla, and they will have the largest share of the first batch of 24,500 cars.

There is no reason to buy a car made by forced labour, no matter how cheap it is.

He has several publication on China, too. His credentials are much better than a random guy on the web who is fabricating stories to smear the source.

And the propaganda goes on … the first Chinese EVs have already arrived in Canada, and they have price tags between 120,000 tp 160,000 …

Dongfeng will not arrive this year. And even the official agreement between Canada and China in January says,

With this agreement, it is also anticipated that, in five years, more than 50% of these vehicles will be affordable EVs …

It is anticipated (not legally binding), and within 5 years.

But Donfeng had a VIP cocktail in Montreal and they need some advertising.

He is a former Canadian diplomat in China. Your ‘suspicion’ is completely made up out of nothing.

This is an absurdly weird write-up and completely unrelated to the linked source. Maybe you go for a walk and touch some grass.

As an addition: In June, only a few months after Carney’s widely celebrated Canada-China deal that brought down Canadian tariffs for China-made EVs, Beijing imposed a 73.5 per cent tariff on imports of Canadian pea starch, starting July 1.

That’s apparently a typo in this sentence. The article mentions several times 2026 …

Canada: Subaru Solterra gets a more EV rebate-friendly price in 2027

Subaru Canada is lowering the prices of the Solterra for the 2027 model year, so much so that the compact electric SUV may qualify for Canada’s EV rebate with a final price of no more than $50,000 … model details are available on the Subaru Canada website.

Where is all that ‘let-Chinese-cars-in-because-they-are-cheap’ hype going? Wasn’t price the reason for the propaganda machine in Canada? Doesn’t Canada need affordable cars anymore?

You can look it up yourself. The average ATP is well below 100k in each market segment.

The Chinese EVs that were celebrated as ‘cheap’ are now filling the luxury market. The almost ironic bit here is that this was known and intended, particularly by the Chinese side of the Canada-China deal.

In addition, we must note that most of the China-made cars in Canada now are Tesla, from the company’s factory in Shanghai. And it will be Tesla that crabs the majority of the first batch of 24,500 cars coming to Canada from China. That’s half of the entire deal.

Btw, China-made Teslas in Canada have a price of slightly more than 40,000.

All this so-called deal is a joke, but propagandists like you will continue to celebrate cheap Chinese cars.

For comparison: The new vehicle average transaction price (ATP) in Canada in May was $49,220, down slightly from April and up 1.2% year-on-year.

This Breach Media is another outlet frequently conveying (false) pro-China narratives and, more importantly, they mostly anti-Canadian.

Yeah, but at least the Chinese cars are cheaper, right? Right?

The ‘Canadian Dimension’ is a propaganda outlet frequently conveying pro-China and anti-Western - including anti-Canada - narratives. This is an unreliable, pro-authoritarian propaganda organization with a strong selection bias in both topics and narratives.
