Doug Ford says he only received a few hours notice from Ottawa on China EV deal

Ontario Premier Doug Ford says he only received a few hours notice about the federal government’s deal with China on electric vehicles, as he warned the move will hurt his province’s auto workers in the long term.

Mr. Ford on Monday continued his criticism of Prime Minister Mark Carney’s deal to allow nearly 50,000 Chinese-made electric vehicles into Canada at a low tariff rate, in return for significant reductions in Beijing’s levies on canola seed and a promised elimination of its tariffs on a host of other products.
