    “security concerns” with the data collected by the vehicles… The same data every car company in the US is already collecting. If that’s what you’re concerned about, just pass a law banning that sort of data collection… Oh yeah, you meant Ford shareholder security.

      There’s a significant difference between data collection by companies from your country and data collection by companies from a country that’s geopolitical, and hostile, rival. It isn’t a question of whether the data collection sucks for us, but if it sucks more for us or less.

        For Canada the US is that entity.

        Whether it’s Biden, Bush, or Obama’s soft annexing or Trump’s hard approach.

          Your understanding of how hostility is expressed in geopolitics seems to be rather lacking.

        So no outside the US should own/buy anything related to a US company because they are definitely mining data for the US and the US is THE rouge state in the world.

          The US isn’t a rogue state, it’s the most powerful. Only states that don’t go along with its commands can be considered rogue.
