Zenn And Dynasty Versus The Canadian Government

I'm sure there's more to this story.

However, it does lend some insights as to why Canada is not an economic power with an indigenous car manufacturing base. Its citizens continue to try and be innovative but the government rarely supports them. And now you know why it's not always America's fault.

It's crazy how these Canadian manufacturers (Zenn from Quebec and Dynasty from BC) of electric cars are welcomed in the U.S. and Mexico but not here. What, are they not greasing Transport Canada enough?

  1. We're gonna end up producing for outside markets and buying them back from international retailers at double the price. Or something like that.

    It's the Canadian way no matter who's in power.

    Things haven't changed in decades. Should I remind your Canadian readers of the Avro-Arrow. We Canadians are always looking for ways to identify ourselves well, how about "we debate things to death".

  3. William, debating is actually good. It's how and what we debate that's stagnant. I fear that here in Canada we've become a tad complacent (Canadians? Nah.) Canadians don't like to debate or face our problems too, too hard.
