Canada’s Conservative opposition leader Pierre Poilievre on Sunday unveiled a plan to double the country’s vehicle production.

Generally avoid posting idiotic things this guy says, but as most people know as offensive as this guy is he’s been sure not to offend anyone powerful and it seems like he’s finally picked a side. Hopefully this will the straw that break the camel back for the Conservatives.

The Conservative leader called for a ban on Chinese software, matching the US.

“We will protect the North American supply chains by keeping the 75% rule in place, harmonise the North American cybersecurity rules by banning Chinese software, and align with our partners on the tariff against China to counter unfair trade and increase our negotiating leverage,” he stated.

    I don’t see any reason to trust American software any more than Chinese software

    In general, my preference would be to have much less software in a car.

    I don’t need internet connected remote control, or everything hidden behind a touch screen.(touch screens are especially useless in the winter when you’re driving with gloves)
