Our own passenger vehicle sales only accounts for ~2% of all global sales (for new vehicles). So if we were to build car plants here, the bulk of the cars built will need to be exported somewhere for the plant to make sense. Unfortunately, with 2 oceans and the arctic surrounding us on 3 sides, there isn't really that much of an export market we can serve if the the US is gonna tariff the cars that are built here unless there are some major incentives for manufacturers to set up shop here.
I feel like Carney (and maybe even Turd) is trying to set Canada up as a source for critical minerals and batteries, and then use those as leverage to entice auto manufacturers to also build cars here. If enough of the supply chain can be present in Canada, there might be enough incentives to get manufacturers to set up shop here.
