Canada's financial watchdogs warn more billion dollar boondoggles on the horizon, sounding the alarm about how infrastructure funds are being spent. Canadians simply can't afford more wasteful Liberal spending.

Didn't we just have a decade of thrift and lower living standards?

If Mr Carney really wants to show he's committed to "Building Canada" he'd ceremoniously defenestrate Bill C-48 (a.k.a. the "Tanker Ban Bill"), which came into effect last year under the Trudeau government and changed tanker regulations off British Columbia's northern coast, torpedoing any prospects of building oil export pipelines on Canada's west coast.

He could also scrap the cap on Canadian oil and gas-related greenhouse gas emissions (introduced by the Trudeau government in 2024) and regulations (also introduced in 2024) for methane emissions in the oil and gas sector, both of which will almost inevitably raise costs and curtail production.

Finally, the prime minister could ax the so-called "Clean Electricity Regulations" that will likely drive electricity rates through the roof while ushering in an age of less-reliable electricity supply and less building of conventional energy-generation from natural gas, a fuel far more reliable than Canada's fickle winds and often-tepid sunlight. By driving up energy costs across Canada and through the entire chain of production and service economies, these regulations (again, enacted by the Trudeau government) will make it more expensive to build anything anywhere in Canada.

Prime Minister Carney has made some nice noises seemingly recognizing that Canada has a building problem, particularly with regard to energy projects, and Bill C-5 makes equally nice (yet ill-defined) noises about regulatory reform in the energy and natural resource sectors. But Canada doesn't have a shortage of nebulous government pronouncements; it has an overdose of regulatory restrictions preventing building in Canada. He should show real seriousness and eliminate the raft of Trudeau-era red tape stifling growth and development in Canada.

And sooner is better than later. Canada's biggest economic competitors (not only the United States) are not sitting on their red-taped hands watching their economies decline.

Quote from: Shen Li on June 24, 2025, 09:44:31 PMMark Carnage just like his predecessor wants to take away your choices what you can drive, what you can see on the internet, your news choices, how you choose to heat your home and what type of rifle you can use to hunt.
Only our choices. He will still get to decide which jet to take his clothes and which one to take for himself when he goes to pedo island.

Our premier, Scott Moe decided he is going to defy Conman Carney's coal powered phase out by 2030. Not only only that he said Saskatchewan is going to rebuild it's coal fired power plants. :good:

Sales hybrids up, but EV's decline.

I wouldn't buy an EV Lokmar

Hybrid maybe but not an EV
Honeybunch, you will have to buy an EV thanks to Mr Carney. But, you will be too old to drive by the time it's fully implemented.

Quote from: Thiel on June 23, 2025, 11:01:31 PMMr Carney's EV mandate is impossible. So is net zero. He knows that, but he will make you poor trying to achieve both.
I will tell the people it will save the planet. They will buy it. :s_laugh:

Quote from: JOE on June 24, 2025, 11:18:56 AMYeah I bet the Canadian government will be forced to compromise & hybrid vehicles will become more popular if not the norm by 2035 avatar_Shen Li Shen.

Actually I read somewhere that while EV sales are declining, hybrid sales are going up.

So the kind of people who are buying them are seeking something in the middle.

Quote from: DKG on June 24, 2025, 10:49:43 AMRight across Canada there are warnings not use hair dryers in the coldest days of winter. Where are they going to get the juice for twenty million electric vehicles.
it was so bad two winters ago when we had two weeks of below -35 that there were rolling blackouts.

Quote from: Shen Li on June 23, 2025, 09:04:28 PMSome facts to ponder Canadians while Mark Carnage takes away your choice to drive the car you want.

Canada has 30,000 public charging stations. That country would need to double the amount they have right now and build 60,000 per year for the next decade to meet the bare minimum needed for an all electric fleet of cars.

Canada would need 14 new Canadu reactors costing about $15 billion each to meet it's electricity needs for just private cars. That does not include commercial vehicles.

Canada would need at least 12 new Site C sized dams costing $16 billion each to meet the demand just from personal elect4ric vehicles.

Your average soi-boi and man hating bimbo thinks a fuking electric car uses the same amount of power as a hair drier!
