Tesla pauses Model 3 Premium orders in Canada, citing exhausted import quota despite over 33,000 spots remaining - Drive Tesla Canada

The Liberal government quietly ordered a pause on a modest, but important purchase of 16 U. S.-made UH-60M Black Hawk helicopters just before trade negotiations began last summer with the Trump administration, CBC News and Radio-Canada have learned.  The aircraft, which are intended for use by Canada's special forces, are manufactured by Sikorsky, a subsidiary of the U. S. defence giant Lockheed Martin. The decision to suspend the acquisition is linked to trade and diplomatic tensions with the Trump administration, according to several sources within the government and defence industry. The purchase had been signed off by the U. S. State Department agency that handles foreign military sales and was headed for congressional approval when the halt was ordered before trade negotiators met in Washington, according to two confidential sources.
