I say stupid shit all the time.
Interesting. Not a single mention of the environment in this article.Canada's federal budget will include an investment of at least C$2 billion ($1.6 billion) for a strategy to accelerate the production and processing of critical minerals needed for the electric vehicle (EV) battery supply chain, two senior government sources said.
...
"Canada has an abundance of valuable critical mineral deposits, and with the right investments, this sector can create thousands of new good jobs, grow our economy, and make Canada a vital part of the growing global critical minerals industry," said Adrienne Vaupshas, press secretary for Freeland.
I'm sure the greenwashed libtards will be all over how great of an idea it is for the Liberals to subsidize EV cars and mining in Canada. The amount of doublethink in Canada (and a lot of the Western world) these days is truly shocking.
I think it's one of those things where today's politicians, rich and famous are in denial and so hell bent on shutting down O&G that they are fully willing to manufacture another crisis in the progress so they can pat themselves on the back while passing the buck to their successors.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member.

Yea, from a political perspective, as long as they keep the auto-sector (and their unions) happy, it's a job well done.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
That holds true in US, Canada, Japan, Germany, France, Spain, and even the UK to an extent. Cars are such a big outlay for most people that forcing newer EVs upon the population is a great way to extort money to appease their favourite lobbiests.
Let's get real here. Pandemic has shown that commute is stupid for most workers. The minute metaverse is a thing, we won't be wasting energy and time to commute daily for most if not all white collar jobs.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Exactly why politicians will start forcing people to buy new cars using emissions as an excuse.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Here in Spain vehicles need emission stickers now and they're implementing Low Emission Zone / Zero Emission Zones within cities/towns where you can only drive if you have a low-emission vehicle.
After 4 years your vehicle gets inspected every 2 years and after 10 years of age it's annual.
I can't imagine it happening in Canada/US on a wide-scale for another 10+ years but I'd expect there being discussions of emission testing and emission related registration taxes in <5 years. States like California have had emission testing for ages.
Expect more bullshit "rebates" where the government pays for scrapping older vehicles and credits/rebates the purchase of new vehicles.
I love how amenable so many people are to embrace living their entire life in a virtual world.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Its sad actually.
I feel sorry for these people.
The crunch is on. Used combustion cars appreciating in value quite a bit. I can imagine there will be diehards who will go combustion till the very end.
Drive a new car off the lot, and how much will it appreciate in value? Welcome to 2022.
