- Canada on Monday said would impose 100% import tariffs on China-made electric vehicles, as well as a 25% tariff on steel and aluminum imports from China.
- Canada said its EV, steel and aluminum industries face “unfair” competition from China, and the new measures seek to “level the playing field for Canadian workers.”

Hum, wasn´t Canada meant to be a "liberally governed country"? 
Why Canada didn't do
super-unfair competition to compete with
China's unfair competition?
To stay ahead of the competition, you have to think a few steps ahead.
Over the past few years,
China's way of doing business hardly change;
the government gives subsidies,
factory is designed for mass production to reduce cost ...
So it shouldn't surprise the world why their EV cars are so cheap.
So if you want to compete with China's EV cars,
you have to make your
production super efficient,
reduce COGS massively....
You have to use all sorts of tools to make your factory competitive
eg
DOE Design of Experiment
8D Discipline
TPM total productive maintenance
QC story, Pareto analysis, fishbone diagram ...
FEA Finite Element Analysis (to design mega casting, to map out
RMF rotating magnetic Field/EMF ....)
etc etc etc
Alternatively, make specialty products.
