Canada's auto industry is tied to the US's. As much as BYD coming to the US would hurt all of North America's auto industry. BYD coming to Canada would also hurt the auto industry. They are just too interconnected.
As is Mexico's, but BYD is available there — as well in a number of other North American countries.

To be fair, it is already hurting from the attacks launched by the USA. Canada has been considering partnering with China instead as a result of this. BYD is looking more and more realistic.
While I wouldn't piss on him to put him out, the Trump administration is not the nucleus of anti-chinese sentiment. It happened way before him. He's just loud and hamfisted about it.
Canada specifically, as a major supplier to US auto manufacturers and a resource economy in it's own right, should be wary of cozying up to Chinese business.
