This is like a government going 1000% in blueray technology. Japan is smart and will automate this plant

[@user-wq9pg6mg7l]

If it’s anything like the show he put in it Saskatoon they will rent the building for this and nothing happens like nothing just a big bill

[@qp773]

If you thought gas companies gouged a lot on fuel for decades, just wait til you see what power companies will do with a monopolized market that involves vehicles on top of what they have now

Foot peddle like the flintstones

[@user-wo5ku3gi7r]

Japanese ppl are honourable, hence they chose to do business with another honourable country like Canada with an honourable PM. Despite the gloom and doom that the Cons (including even the poor trailer Cons) say about Trudeau’s tax policy on capital gains, companies are coming in by the droves. Trudeau and Canada for the win.

Keep drinking the kool aid.

共に胜つ ウィンウィン , a Canada-Japan Win-Win cooporation !

[@marekrudny9086]

Trudeau's Corporate Welfare !

[@chillman5516]

sounds like a win for canadians

[@EyeSee4.8]

No, it will be a loss. Canada most likely had to pay them 2 billion to open a business here. They will start the project but never finish it. No sane company invests its own money in a country that raises the cost of shipping, manufacturing, and production every 6 months.

[@benjaminchioa1668]

EV are currently losing money I’m not too optimistic about this.

[@stephenkinsella4009]

When you say Canadians , do you mean Japan??

[@benjaminchioa1668]

Future Japanese-Canadians bec they will immigrate🤣

[@cbarfoot8456]

It's amazing to me how much we are investing in EVs and Batteries, yet we can't get enough trades nor do we have enough power infrastructure in place.... Every trade that works on a government job just means prices of homes will continuely increase.....

[@PaulMartin-qu5up]

These are jobs and taxes for decades to come. Why would you cry over huge investments in our totally awesome country.

[@benjaminchioa1668]

They will just bring more foreign worker saying they can’t find skilled workers for their plant in Canada. It’s same old story.

[@akapbhan]

Corporate welfare at it's finest with Ontarion Conservatives and Federal Liberals.

[@PaulMartin-qu5up]

You just pissed it's not in oil anymore.

[@akapbhan]

@@PaulMartin-qu5up not really Batteries(the way that they are right now) are in no way green.. You need much simpler battery technology with possibly lower range but easier to extract and use metals for this to be viable in the longer term.

[@PaulMartin-qu5up]

@@akapbhan That's not true at all but, I'm not here to educate. Besides, you complaint had nothing to do with "green". It was about corporate welfare. Government only has a handful of leavers to pull to direct an economy and subsidies is one of them. There will always be subsidies. We just have to choose via voting where we want those subsidies focused.

End EV greenwashing

[@salvvilona9078]

trudeau nightmare world

[@user-gu1wg4rk3f]

It’s a shame Trudeau missed his/ her calling - snake oil - this will be worse w plastic bags

[@t56766]

Is the plant a bad thing ?
