Keep up... We're talking about government regulations that the industry adjusts to with each administration. Agree though and same with tariffs.... doesn't matter if a Democrat comes in the tax revenue remains, unless it's a burden to the US consumer. 1 Quote

Lol... see, you can't say anything without blaming a liberal. Anyway, you do know that because the federal and provincial governments committed subsidies to these companies it doesn't mean they owned or managed those businesses right? We can debate the amount of federal and provincial subsidies... but still have two EV battery plants that are scheduled to start production this year and next. Where's the waste? Northvolt declared bankruptcy...why do you blame that on liberals? And it was Trump who changed industry policies, not the liberal government. Why blame them? 1 Quote

So is this more of your imagination talking? No science, just 'Muh feels'? Or do you have some sort of actual science that explains precisely why this is a 'good idea'?

The US signed law last year saying they won't enforce those mileage requirements but there is no way manufacturers are going to add more cost into a vehicle in the name of quality if there isn't a payback. A safe guess that gas mileage is and will always be one of the deciding factors in buying a vehicle to the vast majority of consumers. It's way beyond the auto industry though. I think most every manufacture in most every sector looks to build and provide the best value product, not the best product. Not Really...there is a larger picture. Recalls and penalties stemming from government-mandated fuel economy and emissions standards have cost automakers billions of dollars, often driven by the need to squeeze higher efficiency out of internal combustion engines or by overstating fuel economy to meet targets. 1 Quote

Goddess Posted March 13 Report Posted March 13 In case you were unclear after the news reported all the Ukrainian money-laundering corruption, Ukrainian leadership fleeing the country, but are still wondering where all those billions we've been giving to Ukraine are going: Hungarian National Tax and Customs Administration (with counter-terrorism units) stopped the vehicles on the M5 motorway. They detained seven Ukrainian Oschadbank employees (including one former intelligence officer) for over 24 hours on suspicion of money laundering. The employees were released/expelled on March 6; the armored vehicles were later returned to Ukraine. But the cash and gold are still being held. On March 9–10, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán signed a decree ordering the National Tax and Customs Authority to keep the $82 million in custody for up to 60 days while they investigate the origin, purpose, and any links to “criminal or terrorist organizations” (or even Hungarian political groups). Hungarian officials say they’ve seen huge volumes of cash/gold moving through their territory since January (hundreds of millions), and question why banks are trucking it instead of wiring it. Hungary orders authorities to hold some $82 million in seized Ukrainian cash and gold - ABC News I don't think it's a coincidence that Freeland is now over there as "economic adviser".

Goddess Posted March 13 Report Posted March 13 How Canada’s once great immigration system is being weakened even further - The Hub Quote The gap between what’s said and what’s done becomes even clearer when you look at the lack of transparency. The 2025 federal budget announced two “one-time” permanent residence pathways. One was for the economic class and the other for protected persons. Both were framed as targeted, temporary measures. However, only one was clearly explained. The economic pathway was quantified in the budget tables: 33,000 admissions across 2026 and 2027. But the protected persons pathway wasn’t itemized there at all. Its true target of 115,000 admissions over the same two years only appeared later in the 2026-2028 Immigration Levels Plan. Together, these new measures add 74,000 permanent residents to both 2026 and 2027. Which pushes the actual 2026 target to 454,000 admissions, not the 380,000 figure most people saw highlighted in the plan. The pattern of emphasizing some numbers and initiatives while quietly adding in others has become familiar. Despite paying lip service to lower immigration levels, Carney is planning Trudeau-era levels of 450,000+ new permanent residents every year for the next three years. This is the Carney pattern. There is a bold announcement about "fixing" a Trudeau era problem, for which he is immediately praised by the media followed by (at best) some tinkering that does nothing to uproot the Trudeau program and gets us nowhere near where we were pre-Trudeau. The plan is a patch, not a fix. Example: The bold announcement: "We will move at speeds we haven't seen in generations." The "fix": A new bureaucracy to create some exemptions from Trudeau-era laws for politically-favoured projects, instead of actually amending or radically overhauling those laws. Carney knows the laws are stopping investment and faster project approvals or he wouldn't have to provide an end-run around them. But he still won't fix them. Lip service is not a fix. Carney is too much of an establishment man to fix the system that formed and still informs him. From First Nations policy (the new Musqueam agreement) to housing (a new government bureaucracy) to immigration (Trudeau level, 454,000 PRs/year) to major projects (an unproven work-around), his actions are all within the Trudeau era framework. I don't see any evidence that Carney understands that the system he and his advisors helped build is the problem or the urgency of tearing it down. There is certainly no plan to actually fix it. 1 Quote "There are two different types of people in the world - those who want to know and those who want to believe." ~~ Friedrich Nietzsche ~~

Zero evidence mileage requirements do anything at all.... Maybe start with the obvious that a 12 year old can figure out.... lower oil consumption that reduces emissions that pollute the environment, Actually many argue that less fuel efficient vehicles force people to drive last due to the cost of fuel. So that's not obviously true the way you claim it is. If I can drive farther on a tank of gas chances are I'll drive farther and burn the same amount of gas But I'm sure you're right, so let's see the evidence. Here we are again with you making statements that you want everyone to accept us being gospel even though they don't actually necessarily make sense logically and you've got absolutely nothing to support your position I mean you must have something. Doesn't even have to necessarily be a scientific paper but you have to have something that at least we can talk about that supports your claim right? Or are you just making this up on the fly entirely as usual? 1 Quote "That which doesn't kill me... Had better start running."

Sure but this is a LIBERAL free trade deal. That means their politicians get to steal our money and ours get to steal their people's money as well, so while it might not improve the trade imbalance it radically improves our corruption imbalance.

Yes EV sales have declined as a percentage of vehicles sold, but still account for ~2M units annually in NA. Whether your head can get around it or not EV's will also dominate NA vehicle sales at some point in the not too distant future. Bet on it when Trump is gone that the next administration rescinds his archaic 1960's views of fossil fuels.
