Thank you America. We had been getting jealous with all the U.S taxpayer and future generations who were funding other human right abusing nations while Ontarios Police State was left out of your welfare funding.
It seems that Manchin wasn't going to sign on until his foreign donors in Canada and Mexico were included in the $400B taxpayer funded cash for EVs, batteries and the like. Canada spent hundreds of millions in gifts to Samsung and a Belgium compay to employ a couple of thousand "chosen ones" in broke Ontario (and you wonder WHY we are broke?) to make EV batteries.
Canada and Ontarios palm greasing has essentially been shifted to America taxpayers, with a great deal of interest, when Canada ordered the U.S to include us in the new deal. This will ensure Canada and Mexico take those jobs that the U.S will shed.
Give Canada some credit, we do our opposition research as Trump wouldn't have folded, but we know which Party we can bully. If only these same Parties held Canada to human right obligations, you would easily get your way in negotiations.

Canada’s auto sector is breathing easier after a U.S. deal to scrap “buy American” provisions in an electric vehicle tax-credit plan and widen them to all vehicles made in North America.
The federal and Ontario governments had been fighting the protectionist push from President Joe Biden’s administration for more than a year, warning it threatened the existence of domestic auto manufacturers and suppliers in Canada, put tens of thousands of jobs at risk and would hurt U.S.-based parts makers as well.
“The new language is exactly what we have been lobbying very hard for,” Automotive Parts Manufacturers’ Association president Flavio Volpe said Thursday after news of the breakthrough in Washington.
“If the exact same car costs less because it’s made in the U.S., no one would be making them at Canadian plants,” he added in reference to proposed subsidies of up to $12,500 (US) per electric vehicle for American consumers.
The dramatic change came Wednesday night when Senate majority leader Chuck Schumer of New York and Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia — both Democrats — agreed to propose an amendment to Biden’s climate and health bill expanding the tax credits to North American EV production.
Manchin had been holding out on the change, which is likely to face stiff opposition from Republicans, who will be wary of giving Democrats a legislative win with midterm elections this fall.
Nevertheless, it is “good news for Canadian workers, jobs and our manufacturing industry,” federal Trade Minister Mary Ng said in a statement.
“Since the Prime Minister’s first meeting with President Biden last year, we have been relentless in underscoring that the original proposal would be harmful to both Canada and the U.S., so we’re glad to see that recognized in the new version of the bill.”
