Canada Conservatives Want Chinese EVs Barred and Their Software Banned - sh.itjust.works

Generally avoid posting idiotic things this guy says, but as most people know as offensive as this guy is he’s been sure not to offend anyone powerful and it seems like he’s finally picked a side. Hopefully this will the straw that break the camel back for the Conservatives. > The Conservative leader called for a ban on Chinese software, matching the US. > “We will protect the North American supply chains by keeping the 75% rule in place, harmonise the North American cybersecurity rules by banning Chinese software, and align with our partners on the tariff against China to counter unfair trade and increase our negotiating leverage,” he stated.

We NEED cheap small EVs to go pick up our groceries and drop our kids off at school and go to the occasional dinner invitation at your relatives. 

Right now all we have are huge expensive or luxury EVs. I want a fucking Honda Fit or Toyota Yaris or a Ford Focus type of car. And the only ones that have them ready to sell are the Chinese. 

So let them in and allow us to dump ICE vehicles once and for all.

How often is it running on time with no issues?
Legitimate question, I only took it once from Frankfurt to Cologne, and it was ok once we were onboard, but was massively delayed. Just curious if that was an outlier or a regular thing.

As I recall, the intercity trains in Germany are late something like 30% of the time.

If you take DB out of the equation it looks much better.
