This appered in the Sun newspaper chain. Trudeau is throwing good after bad.

QuoteEven as the much-vaunted electric vehicle (EV) transition slams into stiff headwinds, the Trudeau government and Ontario's Ford government will pour another $5 billion in subsidies into Honda, which plans to build an EV battery plant and manufacture EVs in Ontario.

This comes on top of a long list of other such "investments" including $15 billion for Stellantis and LG Energy Solution, $13 billion for Volkswagen (with a real cost to Ottawa of $16.3 billion, per the Parliamentary Budget Officer), a combined $4.24 billion (federal/Quebec split) to Northvolt, a Swedish battery maker, and a combined $644 million (federal/Quebec split) to Ford Motor Company to build a cathode manufacturing plant in Quebec.

Some would-be EV makers or users are postponing their own EV investments. Ford has killed its electric F-150 pickup truck, Hertz is dumping one-third of its fleet of EV rental vehicles and Swedish EV company Polestar dropped 15% of its global workforce while Tesla is cutting 10% of its global staff.

And in the U.S., a much larger potential market for EVs, a recent Gallup poll shows a market turning frosty. The percentage of Americans polled by Gallup who said they're seriously considering buying an EV has been declining from 12% in 2023 to 9% in 2024. Even more troubling for would-be EV sellers is that only 35% of poll respondents in 2024 said they "might consider" buying an EV in the future. That number is down from 43% in 2023.

Overall, according to Gallup, "less than half of adults, 44%, now say they are either seriously considering or might consider buying an EV in the future, down from 55% in 2023, while the proportion not intending to buy one has increased from 41% to 48%." In other words, in a future where government wants sellers to only sell EVs, almost half the U.S. public doesn't want to buy one.

And yet, Canada's governments are hitting the gas pedal on EVs, putting the hard-earned capital of Canadian taxpayers at significant risk. A smart government would have its finger in the wind and would slow down when faced with road bumps. It might even reset its GPS and change the course of its 2035 EV mandate for vehicles few motorists want to buy.

It seems that at this moment, voters are done with Trudeau, even if he isn't done with them.

Asked on Tuesday about his future and should he step aside for the good of the Liberal Party, Trudeau gave no hint that he plans to go. It seems he still wants to stick around and fight Pierre Poilievre in the next election.

It should be a serious criminal offense to hire an illegal alien. Period.

A tyrannical regime under the cloak of socialist justice will ALWAYS want the ability to take from the haves with the promise they are giving to the have nots. It's part of their fucking charter. The whole benevolent RobinHOod mentality.

And when they can justify property seizure based on legal precedent because of one having embellished their income, assets, resume, work history, etc etc... they've literally got 98% of all Americans by the balls. and THAT is what this is all about.

Kevin leary was right on track when he said this isn't about trump anymore. His only flaw was that he was attacking the problem from the foreign investments angle. This is bigger than that.

When Uncle Sam wants your property, for any reason whatsoever, the last thing they want is some annoying barrier like the constitution standing in their fucking way.

Idiots these people... I fucking swear.

I used to be adamant supporter of redistribution. But, when I supported it, the wealth was supposed to be spread around. Now, it goes right back into the hands of the rich prog control freaks who hate the working class.
