It is time for Canada to stop blocking affordable EVs, and the most affordable are Chinese EVs. As long as Canada’s transportation infrastructure forces dependence on personal vehicles (except in major urban centers) alternatives to burning fossil fuels must be encouraged, not blocked.
Nothing happens in a vacuum, driving down the accessibility and affordability of EVs increases and prolongs the demand for petroleum, which is incinerating the planet to serve the greed of the oligarchs. If you can’t or won’t see the connection, “ignorance is strength” as they say.
Anyone still going to the USA for anything other than life or survival threatening reasons is either a fool or a traitor.
. I just don’t see the oligarch argument here.
I guess you skipped the part about funding pipelines and hounding protesters with the RCMP, both benefiting the oligarchs in big oil.
Nothing shows true commitment to fighting climate change/global warming like blocking affordable electric vehicles and the solar panels to charge them, while giving billions to oil companies for more pipelines and sending the RCMP to terrorize land and water defenders.
The oligarchs are incinerating the planet for greed and Canada is complicit.
I would like to see the UK surface a ICBM capable sub off DC or NYC and wave the missile ports as a gesture.
tRump is a symptom, not the disease. The USA’s crony/criminal/hyper capitalism is the real problem, tRump has just dropped the mask. The USA has always been a genocidal, imperialist, patriarchal oligarchy, it is long past time the world wakes up to that reality.
Why is her jaw dropping when this has been in the news for weeks? Has she been living under a rock, or just trying to remain deliberately ignorant of the situation? I find it difficult to believe anything from someone who fails to pay the tiniest fucking bit of attention to things.
tRump is just dropping the mask, revealing the USA’s true colors. They have always been a genocidal imperialistic oligarchy, ever since the local colonial oligarchs convinced the workers and farmers to trade out the British monarchy for the home grown plutocracy. Only rich, white, males had any voice in their original constitution, and the current crop of fascists want to brush away all the window dressings that have cropped up over the years and return to that golden (in their minds) era, with women as property and people of color as less than human.
I think I read somewhere that brake fluid is a fairly reliable means of stripping paint. A design or message of some type might emerge from a judicious application of such liquid.

Rick Hillier was also trying to encourage Canadians not to boo their closest neighbour’s anthem.
Rick Hillier can fuck himself with a rusty pipe.
Asymmetric war is just so asymmetrical.
Resistance is not futile, the USA has not prevailed (single-handedly) against resistance movements in any country of our size in their history. IEDs are cheap, effective, and relatively easy to make. Canada has farms with fuel oil and fertilizer, and lots of firearms.
Blocking affordable EVs while building oil pipelines… that’s some bold commitment to stopping climate change!
Except on December 4th 2024. There is hope it was not a one-off.
PSA: Remember, oligarchs are not bulletproof.
The evidence points to the incineration of the planet as the long game of the ruling class.
Still not going to set foot or spend a penny in that fascist shit-stain of a failed country. Canada needs to take this as a wake up call, the USA cannot be trusted. Ever, For anything. And Canada needs to pull its head out of the US’s ass when it comes to foreign policy as well.
No one should trust the USA for ANYTHING at this point.
