  • China’s First Affordable EV Brand Lands In Canada! | First Look At Dongfeng!

    Jump

  • And the propaganda goes on ... the first Chinese EVs have already arrived in Canada, and they have price tags between 120,000 tp 160,000 ...

    Dongfeng will not arrive this year. And even the official agreement between Canada and China in January says,

    With this agreement, it is also anticipated that, in five years, more than 50% of these vehicles will be affordable EVs ...

    It is anticipated (not legally binding), and within 5 years.

    But Donfeng had a VIP cocktail in Montreal and they need some advertising.

  • First Chinese EVs arrive in Canada with price tags between $119,000 and $159,000

  • Where is all that 'let-Chinese-cars-in-because-they-are-cheap' hype going? Wasn't price the reason for the propaganda machine in Canada? Doesn't Canada need affordable cars anymore?

  • First Chinese EVs arrive in Canada with price tags between $119,000 and $159,000

    Jump

  • You can look it up yourself. The average ATP is well below 100k in each market segment.

    The Chinese EVs that were celebrated as 'cheap' are now filling the luxury market. The almost ironic bit here is that this was known and intended, particularly by the Chinese side of the Canada-China deal.

    In addition, we must note that most of the China-made cars in Canada now are Tesla, from the company's factory in Shanghai. And it will be Tesla that crabs the majority of the first batch of 24,500 cars coming to Canada from China. That's half of the entire deal.

    Btw, China-made Teslas in Canada have a price of slightly more than 40,000.

    All this so-called deal is a joke, but propagandists like you will continue to celebrate cheap Chinese cars.

  • As some claim that Russia isn't a larger threat:

    Russian group hacked Quebec water treatment plant, gained access to control pumps and chlorine dosing: CSE

    Russian cybercriminals managed to hack into a Quebec municipality’s water treatment plant systems and had the ability to wreak havoc on the crucial infrastructure before getting caught, according to Canada’s cyber spy agency.

    In its latest annual report released Monday, the Communications Security Establishment (CSE) said that it detected over 3,200 cyber incidents affecting either federal government organizations or one of ten critical infrastructure sectors, such as energy, critical minerals and water.

    In one particular case discussed in the report, the signals intelligence agency said it was advised last October that Russian hacktivist group NoName had broken into the Quebec water plant’s network and gained access to many crucial systems.

    It's not (yet?) a missile, but the hostility is obvious.

  • As Yvan Baker, head of the Canada-Ukraine Parliamentary Friendship Group in the Canadian Parliament, has said, the support for Ukraine serves Canada's interests.

    "There are two main reasons for Canada's support. First, because it is the right thing to do. Ukraine deserves our support because Ukrainians are bravely defending themselves against a brutal invasion. Second, it is in Canada's interest. As President Zelensky and others have said, Ukraine is defending Europe and effectively defending NATO. If Russia succeeds in Ukraine, I do not believe it will stop there. NATO countries would be next," Baker said.

  • Yes, and the same is true for all public infrastructure and other sensitive technology.

    But tankies keep up the illusion that remote control of Chinese tech isn't a problem.

    As an addition: In August 2025, a joint advisory of Western goverments' intel - including Canadian Centre for Cyber Security (Cyber Centre) and the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) - said,

    People’s Republic of China (PRC) state-sponsored cyber threat actors are targeting networks globally, including, but not limited to, telecommunications, government, transportation, lodging, and military infrastructure networks. While these actors focus on large backbone routers of major telecommunications providers, as well as provider edge (PE) and customer edge (CE) routers, they also leverage compromised devices and trusted connections to pivot into other networks. These actors often modify routers to maintain persistent, long-term access to networks. [Source (pdf)]
