Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney (R) listens as Premier of Ontario Doug Ford speaks during a news conference on Parliament Hill, December 18, 2025 in Ottawa, Canada.


Ontario Premier Doug Ford is sharply criticizing the federal government’s new agreement to ease tariffs on Chinese-made electric vehicles, warning it could undermine the province’s auto sector at a critical moment in its transition to EV production.

The deal allows tens of thousands of Chinese EVs to enter Canada under reduced tariffs as part of a broader trade arrangement that also includes concessions on agricultural products. Ford argues the move risks flooding the market with cheaper imports and jeopardizing billions in recent investments aimed at building a domestic EV supply chain.

He urged Ottawa to “fix this mess,” saying the agreement puts Ontario workers at a disadvantage just as the province is trying to secure its place in North America’s auto future.

Federal officials have defended the deal as a pragmatic step toward stabilizing trade relations and opening new opportunities for Canadian exporters. But Ford remains adamant that any policy weakening protections for Canadian-made vehicles is a step in the wrong direction.
