Carney Drops ‘Buy Canadian’ Policy, Unplugs Electric Vehicle Plan

Prime Minister Mark Carney has announced billions of dollars in funding to offset tariffs and retrain skilled workers as part of a broad industrial strategy to reduce Canada’s reliance on the United States and create its own industries.

Carney is also launching a “buy Canadian” policy, and said he plans to overhaul the EI system so that it is more flexible.

The Liberals are delaying the electric vehicles mandate, however, a policy of his predecessor which would eventually eliminate vehicles which burn gas or diesel.
