It has never been a question *if* countries should engage in industrial policy—they have all been doing it in one form or another! It is whether countries make smart, strategic decisions about what policy mixes and catalytic investments will actually help achieve common goals.

Canada's next big battery investment includes not just the EV battery factory, but also cathode and separator. Absolutely great to see some of the upstream value chain in this deal. windsor.ctvnews.ca/honda-expected…
