Generally, Canadian consumers are not looking for the smaller vehicles you mentioned.
If companies have to ship fewer vehicles to hit targets, they will not send vehicles that appeal to a small niche in downtown Montreal or Toronto. They will send vehicles with strong sales potential. If they sell vehicles that perform strongly in the market and generate high sales volumes, they achieve economies of scale. That’s smart from an economic standpoint and smart from a pricing standpoint.
Reducing inventory means what’s sent to Canada will generally align with demand across Canada, and not just in Quebec. People want bigger vehicles that have more emissions; they want pickup trucks or heavier vehicles.
