Former Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney has died at 84.

I would suggest that's the plight of most long serving parties, people get sick of them. -
Ontario needs to invest in EVs as a realistic Option.

I think a lot of the Minister's comments were fair. What Cold Weather range do they want posted? 0? -10? -40? And pricing per KWh is silly. You should pay more for the speed it takes to charge the car. -
Just like with Russia, it's a MADD situation. A future war would revolve around control of Taiwan though. It's far more difficult to get into a military quagmire (like Ukraine) on a mountainous island.

Well Toyota and GM were there and they didn't have their EVs front and centre because they're the few manufacturers that aren't really doing much in that segment right now. GM didn't even have the Bolt. I did get to sit in the Hummer EV which is a comically large an impractical car. But still cool. Volvo, on the other hand, only had EVs, IIRC. Subaru which only has 1 EV model had 2 or 3 versions of it. Got to see a Cybertruck as well. 😀 -

And I suspect more remote communities will be the last to adopt electrification. Or just use Natural Gas. I've seen Nat Gas Buses in my community (Not Ottawa). I don't think we'll be off Natural Gas or Propane by 2035. -
China is in a demographics crisis right now. They could lose half their population in the next few decades. I think China is also quite easy to dominate in Naval theatres.

So your example of EV failure are buses purchased in 2016 that aren't performing up to standard. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/nova-bus-quebec-canada-electric-buses-1.6836326#:~:text=30-,The Canadian and Quebec governments have teamed up to buy,acquisition project in North America. You do realize it's 2024? Standards for EVs are much higher. I look at the car I bought in 2020. It serves my purpose but the range I achieve isn't acceptable for any manufacturer. -

I was at the Canadian International Autoshow this past weekend. Just about every manufacturer had their EV front and centre. So it's not exactly true that the move to Electric is driven by virtue signalling governments. If people refuse to adopt EVs the deadline set by most governments is useless. There is genuine interest in this segment.
