It seemed like a bet that couldn’t lose. The auto industry was going electric, and if Canada played its cards right, it could be a world leader. Canada’s governments promised billions in public money to help established companies and startups alike build a domestic EV supply chain, crowned by gigafactories from the likes of Stellantis, Volkswagen and Northvolt.
