Foreign built EV's are only a threat to Canadian manufacturers because of our governments (multiple levels) failure to actually enforce the mandates they enact.

Companies know that if they simply ignore the mandate and wait till the eve of it coming into effect, they can plead that it will threaten jobs (because their delays have made it impossible to fulfil the mandate) and politicians will rush to remove the mandate, thus allowing companies to continue on with the status quo.
