Dear Canadians,
Stop buying US made vehicles.
We can cripple their auto industry by simply not buying American-made cars.
Buy the ones made anywhere but the USA.
Our power as consumers is in our money. Don't buy their shit. There are plenty of alternatives out there.

China’s EV export engine is in overdrive — nearly 1M NEVs shipped Jan–Sep 2025. Europe leads, Latin America explodes (+148%), & Asia-Pac surges. China isn’t merely exporting electric cars — it’s exporting the future of mobility. One shipload at a time, scaling up fast.. 🌏 #ChinaEV #NEV #Lithium #LFP

Great article. It's astonishing to realize how little attention Westerners are paying to the world's largest light vehicle market.
One caveat: I doubt that total car sales in China will fall much below 29-30 million for any of the next 6 or 7 years.

China’s BEV takeover isn’t slowing — it’s about to go vertical. By 2028, collapsing ICE supply chains, oil price shocks, resale value death spirals, & Chinese robotaxis will trigger an irreversible shift. This is the year ICE dies in China — here’s why, when, & how: #EV #Disruption #BEV #FossilExit

Canadian media has had to deal with an onslaught of right-wing trolls for the past decade. They're small but highly effective, giving the impression of a mass movement by "flooding the zone" with their invective.
