At this point US cars like Tesla should be checked if they are they spying Canadians. US beng a neighbor is a greater danger with that data. -

How will they do that?Demand that Chinese EV open source their onboard software?
Give them exceptions to a number of modern safety features that require cars to be able to go online? (Admittedly these might not be mandatory in Canada)
How exactly does the Canadian government plan to keep that rather ambitious promise?

Canada will build a wall.
A great wall. A great big wall. A big beautiful wall.
It will be called The Great White North Firewall.
It will keep both the MAGAt and CCP nasties out. /s -

- automatic emergency calls upon crash detection
- showing the correct speed limit
Now our dear politicians might have not realized it, but calculating the current valid speed limit just from visual clues is in general an impossible problem: -
