OMG stretch things so far they break and think that supports your argument? Jobs that wouldn't be there otherwise is discrimination? White man beating up a white man is a hate crime?

Ontario needs to invest in EVs as a realistic Option.
herbie replied to Boges's topic in Provincial Politics in Canada
OMG the object is to reduce CO2 emissions. Electrification does that whether BEV, PHEV or mild hybrid. Vehicles are a major source. You could reduce CO2 a little with propane or LNG, reduce it all together using ammonia or hydrogen (wasting 60% of the energy using ICE, or properly with fuel cells), but the same attitude from the same people dismiss those options as well. Total opposition to any cost of change and stubborn resistance to any change whatsoever. Not just to EVs. Do you know how many people I've met in my field over the decades who with hands on their hips and a pout on their lips proclaim that they've never owned or used 'one of them computers/call phones' and act like that's something to be proud of? Some people just don't like change, and that's just too f*cking bad for them. The Western world they claim to love has done nothing but change for the last 1,000 years. -

The arrogance remains with those who will not, can not adapt. Can't see progress when it's happening in front of their eyes. Really, a range of 100 miles was years ago, ir's 350+ miles now and some are singing the same song - it won't go 1600 miles! Wahh! I mean obviously if I drive a Jeep now, I'm not expecting an EV to wade through creeks and I sure wouldn't lie and claim a 1600 mile highway journey in a Wrangler was anything other than an ordeal. A damn expensive one at that! Now I'll split a 1000km trip to visit my sister over 2 days and if I have an EV years from now it can charge overnight at the Motel. I could do it today in a Tesla with a couple of 20 min. stops midway while I go to Timmies, like I do anyways. -
That's what it was designed for. To let the feds do whatever is unconstitutional whenever they like.[/s] That's why the Tories are constantly threatening to use it, they hold the Constitution and Charter of Rights with the same contempt as Trump holds the US judicial system. While they make you look away shouting the leader of a minority govt is a dictator as loud as they can.

Trump isn't the problem. What's frightening is there could be enough Americans so stupid and morally challenged they'd elect a lying narcissist again to lead them into oblivion. Like you, who in spite of knowing the man has no redeeming qualities whatsoever continue to act like everyone else is crazy and you're the normal one. He promises to f*ck over some of those people you want to f*ck over so you'll back the guy even if he f*cks you over just as much. Misery loves company and you'll be guaranteed both.

And I'm sure the USA would measure electrons in gallons if you dinosaurs had your way. -

Same negative arguments repeated endlessly.... we can't, we can't, we can't.... go sit and watch TV and be quiet, the rest of us are doing it for you. -

Yeah when people believe the law is applied politically. Even when what they're quoting proves it isn't. -
Amazing how you have such an utterly ass backwards view on every subject. Are you sure the sky is blue? Everyone is wrong about everything else.
-
The delusional continue to defend the compulsive lying fraud that wouldn't take the stand in his own defence because he knows he just can't stop lying and he'd sink himself in his own shit. So his Trumpalos lie louder and longer, the only thing they know how to do.

obviously none that you could see....

No I mentioned the equipment and training. Like the one thing Canada always fails to jump onboard and invest in. You're looking at accidents that damage the battery, bodywork is exactly the same, 'tuneups' are software and maintenance is lower. Why do you think some of them try to charge more for a replacement battery than for a new car? Asides from not mentioning that vehicles are replaced more often these days due to the sheer labour cost of body & frame repairs. They're designed that way, all of them. Protect the passengers, to hell with how much damage to the car. True, because $50,000 is squat in 2024, avg new car buyer spends $57,000. And most of us already own a residence so a wall plug outside is as nothing as a water tap. Renters can demand access to one. Most Canadians aren't homeless peasants living on the street like the whiners try to make out. -
Every time you attempt to justify your beliefs you reveal your racist reasons. Just admit it. The guy next to you on the factory floor with the turban works as least as hard as you, watches the games and wears a Leafs jersey and buys his kids shit at Christmas. The Persian guy might not eat McRibs, but eat a Big Mac at the next table. We don't brag about "melting pots" but they ALL not only melt in the end, they add something for the rest of us. If you can't or won't accept what they give, that's your loss.

Picking Judges for their political views isn't bad enough.... they want jurors picked that way too, eh? Justice for white billionaires should be different than for plain old peasants? It still is. YOU can't afford to appeal every single ruling all the way to the Supreme Court. -
No! No! They were ruled by Communists so therefore they must all have been sympathizers, just as Palestinians must all be terrorists. Nobody wants to escape a war/occupation zone, they want to corrupt your society, that's the only reason to come here. I mean you want to treat two groups of people in the same circumstances differently and claim that's not discrimination don't you?

Didn't love the last one cuz she was a brainiac. The one before was one, but was emotionally evil. The first wife was pretty smart and politically equal, but she couldn't boil a hot dog, pay off a bill without borrowing and drank like a fish. My girls were raised not to expect too much as men aren't all that bright. But sex is irrelevant to brains... my daughter did ask at 22 where seaweed came from.

Sigh... the penultimate cantservative says that humans that decided to go into space and land on the moon in the same decade is unable to modernize a 125 year old vehicle given more than 10 years notice. The same thinking that stalled the USAs original ZEV attempts for 30 years and left them in their current mess. -

Couple years ago the nearest Chevy dealer said they wouldn't even stock Volts or Bolts, never had one on their lot ever. Went into a hate rant on the Chevy Bolt... mainly because it didn't need the servicing of an ICE car. $200 oil changes at the dealer and they mailed notices and phoned you as if it was a 1953 DeSoto that needed an oil change every 1000 miles. Big money lost in service rip-offs and expensive equipment and staff training, that;s why a lot of car dealers are on the hate EV bandwagon. I also see FB ads for a new group pushing a petition to end the ZEV initiative. A former Gasbuddy contributor who left and invented his own so called consumer group and became little more than an apologist for Big Oil is also behind this pretend organization.
