Yes. Canada should instead remove the 165% tariffs on chinese solar panels. Those only protect 500 jobs. The tariffs on the auto industry protect 125 000 jobs.

Stelantis left a factory, equipment and staff, all of which Canada has no reason to allow them to take out of country as we have plenty of public funds in it, that would be a good upsize for Rachelle, the company sending light armored trucks to Ukraine. Ukraine does need vehicles. Anything above completely flooding Ukraine with them , as is our duty as a friend, can easily find niche markets, military, and otherwise enough to be a money making proposition long term. Perhaps those boys over at Rachelle would be interested in the role of their choice. It would be a VIABLE path into Canada making a good truck at scale and an introduction to the world's markets. There is demand out there for a good truck. Thoughts?

Growth is unsustainable and the reason for the global crisis. Our global monetary systems depend upon growth for stability, growing economies require greater energy consumption. Fossil fuels are finite and are destroying earth’s ecosystems. Global finance and monetary systems are blind to global ecosystems. More jobs means more energy, more cars means more energy, more agriculture means more energy, ... More energy consumption means greater heat emissions and faster melting of polar glaciers. More carbon/greenhouse gas emissions means greater atmospheric warming. More clearcut logging means slower carbon capture. The growth of canola to export is consuming huge amounts of fossil fuels and growing production means greater carbon emissions. There is an insufficient amount of mineral to make the batteries for a fleet of EV the size of today’s ICE vehicles. Which has no plans to address electrifying the fleet of commercial vehicles and agricultural machines, the plan, burning the last of the fossil fuels for agricultural, commercial transport and growth, continuing fossil fuel carbon emissions. Creating more climate warming... but don’t worry global oligarchs/banks will get richer! Tariffs create a tax on the export/shipping of goods around the planet and reduce the economy of international trade, reducing carbon consumption/emissions slowing rate of global warming. Also it perhaps will prepare the economy to act without fossil fuels, because oil is finite. Continuing growth in fossil fuels consumption will create a greater cliff for the coming depression and greater risk of global nuclear winter. Though how do you create change in global finance without collapsing the pyramid schemes of its foundation?
