Ontario Premier Doug Ford Opposes Stellantis-Leapmotor Deal for EV Production in Canada

Ontario Premier Doug Ford expresses strong opposition to a potential agreement between Stellantis and China's Leapmotor to assemble electric vehicles in Ontario, citing concerns about undermining local auto workers and the lack of local parts sourcing. This stance is supported by the Unifor labor union, which fears job displacement. The controversy extends to broader geopolitical concerns, with a former Trump ambassador warning against Chinese EV imports into the U.S. and highlighting security risks associated with Canada’s tariff agreements with China. Meanwhile, Stellantis strengthens its AI capabilities with Palantir, and Chinese EV giant BYD plans to enter the Canadian market, further complicating the competitive landscape.
