Canada's leader of the Official Opposition, Pierre Poilievre, has proposed a U.S.-focused auto industry strategy amid the country's China tariff agreement. He also proposed exemptions for automakers from federal sales tax for vehicles made in Canada, and a rule allowing companies to import vehicles of an equal dollar value from the US or Mexico into the country for every vehicle produced in Canada. The Conservative Party has also called for an end to subsidies for hybrid vehicles and EV, and for a ban on vehicles using Chinese or Russian software. This could potentially boost Tesla sales in Canada as the company has over 39 outlets in the country.
