Three Chinese Automakers Confirmed for Canada Entry by Year-End​

Three of China’s largest automakers are moving toward their first consumer vehicle sales in Canada by the year’s end, with certification work and retail network development already underway.

According to DSMA, a buy-sell and advisory firm brokering discussions between Chinese manufacturers and Canadian dealers, the first EVs are planned to arrive Ottawa by the year end.

“We expect the vehicles will start landing by the end of this year,” Jason Zhao, director of Asian market development at DSMA, told Automotive News.

The three brands — BYD Co., Chery Automobile Co. and Geely Holding — are working through homologation requirements, local financial partnerships and dealer network development in parallel.

None is ready to begin shipments immediately, Zhao said, with months of certification work still ahead.

The statements from DSMA add a concrete timeline to what has until now been a patchwork of preparatory signals.

EV reported last week that BYD had registered its passenger vehicle manufacturing plants with Transport Canada’s Appendix G preclearance registry — the first Chinese automaker to do so for consumer vehicles.

Nothing really new here, but thought I'd share. He does say the world wants more flights to Canada and we're trying to make that happen, which I am a big fan of. Also he says high speed rail to Windsor. Not really newsworthy but glad it's on the radar.

Carney is on a sell-canada-to-the-world campaign like I've never seen before. Side note - I didn't realize the Monocle was started by a Canadian.

Yeah. Monocle started by the same guy who started Wallpaper. Back when magazines were still a thing
 
So once the liberals get the majority that means he has until 2029 to set Canada up for the future?

I feel he can do a lot of good in 3 years. This is the business savy mind that conservatives wanted for decades.
 

Support for Quebec sovereignty at 30-year low, according to new poll​

The idea of Quebec separating from Canada is the least popular it’s been since the 1995 referendum, according to a new poll.

The new Leger/Journal de Montreal survey found that if a referendum were held now, 71 per cent of Quebecers would vote no to separation, and just 29 per cent would vote yes.

Leger pollster Sebastien Dallaire says the Trump administration’s hostility toward Canada and other ongoing global disruptions are making people think twice about creating a country.

“It’s a bit unnerving for voters at thistime,” Dallaire said in an interview. “We can expect that the numbers will rise again if tensions ease up, but even that’s a question mark because we know unpredictability is pretty much the name of the game right now.”

The Parti Quebecois has held a commanding lead in the polls for several months as the province heads toward October’s provincial election. They’ve promised a referendum in their first mandate.
