And give more money to so called green companies Brookfield is invested. Canada is so fucking corrupt.

Even Justine's government used to make this information available. Carney is a dictatorial little weasel.

This is from Postmedia.

QuoteThe Liberals' devotion to their EV (electric vehicle) mandate borders on the cultish. They are certain, as all True Believers are, that if only they believe passionately enough (and spend enough taxpayers' money), they will be able to convince all Canadians to buy EVs.

Next year, the first of the Liberal government's EV mandates takes hold. By law, 20 per cent of all new cars and light trucks sold in Canada in 2026 must be EVs. According to that mandate, if carmakers cannot convince one in five of their customers to go electric, Ottawa could order manufacturers and dealers to sell fewer internal combustion engine vehicles to achieve the 20/80 split.

For instance, there are more than 1.9 million cars and light trucks sold in this country in a good year. This year, fewer than nine per cent of that total is expected to be EVs — about 170,000 (down from 2024 by nearly 90,000).

To get to a 20 per cent share for EVs, their sales next year would have to jump to 380,000. Or Ottawa could dictate that only 1.4 million internal combustion engine cars can be sold.

I don't expect a cap on internal combustion engine vehicles. Think of all the assembly-line workers, mechanics and salespeople who would be laid off. It would be an economic disaster.

The cause of sluggish EV sales is a combination of two factors — the end of mega-subsidies for EV purchases paid by Ottawa and the provinces, and the simple fact that most Canadians don't want EVs.

According to the Canada Energy Regulator (formerly the National Energy Board) so far this year, EV sales are off at least 25 per cent. It seems that without subsidies of between $5,000 and $8,000 on average, most car buyers can't be convinced to purchase an EV.

Despite all that, though, in June the Liberals, the Bloc and the rump formerly known as the NDP, banded together to vote down a Conservative motion calling on the government "to immediately end their ban on gas-powered vehicles."

According to Statistics Canada, of the more than 25 million cars, vans and pickups on Canada's roads, fewer than 400,000 are fully electric.

To meet the Liberals' mandate for 2026, car dealers would have to sell that many next year alone.

Brian Kingston, head of the Canadian Vehicle Manufacturers' Association, in June told the online news service, Blacklock's Reporter, that the feds should, "Scrap the mandate and let the federal government's existing emissions regulations drive cleaner transportation."

Those emissions targets are likely unachievable, too. Again, they have too much of the puritan or fundamentalist about them. In theory (or, at least, in the fevered minds of environmentalists), it might be possible to rely on emission caps, but that seems like an unreal dream.

I cannot imagine in a free and democratic society what justifies a government ordering consumers to buy a particular kind of car.

But here's the irony of ironies: As EV sales have been cratering, sales of gasoline-powered cars and trucks have increased nearly 10 per cent. And what kind of vehicles have been selling best? According to StatsCan it's been "gas-powered SUVs."

Full-sized pickups have been popular, too.

Yet the Liberals cannot face reality and give up their EV mandate.

Folks in Canada are doing lots of it.

Trump got pour digital tax axed. Let's hope he can get the Conman's censorship axed too.

Never forget the Conman advided Justine on the illegal use of the Emergencies Act.

The Liberal government makes Lukashenko's government look transparent.

Or they'll force us to.

Carney's cabinet who are the same people that were in True Dope's cabinet want more of the same-because they are more of the same.

Nothing has changed, Carney is actually doubling down on his predecessor's bad policies on everything from censorship to energy to immigration.

He needs his bank account frozen over his part in the Covid affair. As does every politician across the globe who sold their citizenry out to big pharma.

Stuff them all into to one of Elon's rockets and fire them off into space. Without so much as a face mask. Cunts like that shouldn't be allowed to draw breath.

Carney's refusal to release a spring budget despite his minority government losing a vote in parliament compelling them to release said budget, and despite his $486 billion spending plan, demonstrates an overall rejection of fiscal transparency. In terms of governance, the House of Commons has only sat for 76 says total since July 2024. That means that successive minority governments have been ruling without following democratic process. Isn't that dictatorship. What about communication.

Conman Carney is turning the CRA into the Gestapo.
