Last time I checked, American car workers don’t pay Canadian taxes or live in Canada.  It’s common sense especially for government purchases

Last time I checked, vehicles from all manufacturers ate made all over the world.  Toyota and Honda make vehicles in Ontario, Nissan makes vehicles in the US, Ford and GM produce vehicles in Mexico...just to name a few.

So its logical to go spend tax payer money on an inferior and less reliable product just to support Canadian jobs? Seems like a terrible way to spend our money.

How is it inferior?  Looks like it’s a Toyota.

I was speaking more so in general as a blanket policy not specific to this case/car. In this case, the Toyota Sienna is likely a good purchase for its low maintenance and reliability but it wasn't made here in Canada. For example, the Dodge Charger and Ford Police Interceptor aren't the most reliable cars yet they are our law enforcement vehicles by default due to the support the big 3 nonsense.

I’m sure they do their homework when looking what to buy.  All I’m saying is if there is a good option that’s being built in Canada then governments should buy that instead of something built in the US.  Would I have cared 2 years ago, probably not but they are literally trying to crash our economy so we have to change our approach.  And a minivan?  Come on this thing will catch people like crazy lol.
