In a short 4.5 years Canadian dealerships will have to have 60% of sales EV. If you want a vehicle on the 40% side due to demand estimates you will pay $20,000 more. Dealerships will use up their ICE quota.

More elbows down and arses up for China and Brookfield.

And if you really want to understand how deep this betrayal goes, just watch Question Period That's where Conservative MP Tamara Kronis torched the government's hypocrisy: "The Prime Minister says he wants to build, baby, build," she said, "but he can't even get the B.C. NDP to build Canadian ships for Canadian taxpayers in Canada." She's right. While the Liberals shout about investing in Canadian jobs, they're letting B.C. Ferries ship those jobs to Communist China.

Then came Dan Albas, cutting through the spin with one brutal question: "Will the minister grow a spine of Canadian-manufactured steel and make Canadian jobs a requirement for this funding?" That's the question every taxpayer should be asking. Why are we sending federal money to a foreign regime while Canadian shipbuilders stand idle?

First: The ferries connecting B.C. to Vancouver Island are not just some quirky local project. They are legally part of Canada's highway system. That's right. The ferry route is Highway 1. And Highway 1 is integrated into the National Highway System—which means it's a federal infrastructure corridor.

Second: When the federal government writes a check—$36 million in this case—to B.C. Ferries for operational support, it is no longer "provincial." That money comes with federal accountability. They could've demanded Canadian content. They could've said, "If you want federal money, you build with Canadian steel, in a Canadian yard, with Canadian workers." But they didn't.

Instead, they watched as the contract went straight to a Chinese state-owned shipyard—the same regime that slaps tariffs on Canadian pork and beef, spies on MPs.

Welcome your new dictator. His bills will make his word law without any debate or transparency. Dangerous as hell for you, good for Brookfield. Get why this WEF control freak wanted to be your pm.

Quote from: Lokmar on June 19, 2025, 10:13:02 PMI think ultimately, you're right. The biggest problem is average joe doesnt grasp the concept of what it takes to generate electrical power and how much electrical power it takes to fast charge an electric car which STILL takes 1/2 hour to go from 20% to 80%. The plug on an electric stove is 50a/240v or 12,000 watts. (12KW) A dual port 480v 3ph fast charger for electric cars is 62KW.
#1. A house only has 240 single phase, NOT 480 3 phase
#2. There's no fucking way ANY country is going to outfit all homes with 480 3 phase. You'd pretty much have to completely rebuild the electrical grid.
I know it's a pipe dream. As much as the governments of Commiefornia and Canada have their heads up their asses, they know it too.

I'll be turning 51 in late 2035. If I come here for a holiday on my birthday in 2035 there will still be new ICE vehicles sold on car lots.

Almost forgot, the average home has a single phase 200a service which is ACTUALLY rated at 80% continuous which is 160 amps, NOT 200!. The most single phase power you can squeeze from a home is 38,000 watts or 38KW = 240v X 160amps. One fast charger takes nearly 100% of that power!!!! You could turn on every fucking electrical item you own and STILL likely not reach 38KW!!!!!

Quote from: DKG on June 19, 2025, 09:05:53 PMThe dictatorial Liberals put people in jail for months/years for peacefully protesting against their authoritarian rule. They seized bank accounts and tried to use tank on them. What do you think they would do if there were an armed civil war attempt. They would go Tianamen on everybody.

True.

Here's some perspective:
'They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.'
