"We're going against our own Canadian values."

A tense moment in Ottawa as a witness for Clean Energy Canada is pushed to explain why we should allow Chinese EVs into our market despite major human rights concerns. If the "economic choice" relies on forced labour, is it even a choice at least some Canadians are willing to make?

At this point, I would rather be driving Chinese slave labour over American 'definitely not slave' labour.

At least China is trying to reduce it, instead of filling up prisons and granting billions of dollars to modern day Gestapo against court order specifically to make the slavery legal.
