On the bright side, 99% of Canadians will be immediately priced out of driving a ICE car, so at least we won't have to worry about that anymore

Why is that? We would be able to import the US parts needed to build cars domestically as we do today. The tariffs would affect domestic production going back to the States. Even if Canadian autos go belly up because they can't export to the States, we'd still be able to import US-made vehicles. What am I missing?

No, that kinda fucks over most of us who are just getting by. If someone can't afford to buy gas how would they be able to afford an EV? We need the prices to drop to a level everyone wants to buy an EV, not make every option cripplingly expensive.
