flag Ontario's Ford urges B.C. and Quebec to drop EV sales targets, citing market fragmentation and U.S. policy shifts threatening Canada’s auto industry.

flag Ontario Premier Doug Ford is urging British Columbia and Quebec to eliminate their electric vehicle sales targets, warning that inconsistent provincial mandates create a fragmented market and harm Canada’s auto industry competitiveness, especially amid U.S. policy rollbacks. flag Ford argues that maintaining EV targets in only a few provinces risks shifting investment, jobs, and production to the United States, despite Ontario’s support for environmental goals. flag While both B.C. flag and Quebec have scaled back their previous 2035 zero-emission vehicle goals—B.C. flag dropped its mandate and Quebec set a 90% hybrid or electric sales target—Ford calls for full removal of such requirements. flag The federal government has replaced its national EV sales mandate with broader emissions standards, aligning with Ford’s push for a unified national approach to protect Canada’s auto sector.
