Canada doesn't want to be China's supplier of raw materials and helping them become the world's supplier of EV batteries when Canada could be that supplier.

A shame we don't do that with any of our other resources.

Realistically, our terrible productivity and China's lax environmental/safety standards seem like they're gonna doom this effort, but I'm all for trying.

Instead of tariffs, why not simply ban Chinese products that aren't up to standards?
