    This fucking guy seems to think Trump and Polievre will hand him a NA market not only subsidized but incentivized by tariffs on imports from China - who, unlike NA, hasn’t stuck their head in the oilsand.

    And he’s right it seems.

    North America fucked up EVs. It’s fucked that we will also be hampered in adoption because of shit selection and absurd prices.

    Edit: another hindrance to adoption is that I will never give my money to Tesla after how Musk is acting with their approval.

      Not enough towns that could benefit from bus systems have bus systems. We could be providing subsidies to municipalities to implement bus systems. Instead we’re giving them to the world’s richest man so we can shift which resources our colonialism extracts instead of undoing the colonialism

        Me too, but I’m resigned to it.

        Too many Canadians simply cannot see that our conservatives are similar in ideology to the US.

          I will hold out a tiny sliver of hope that he won’t be elected. However, my realist-ness says we have 8 years of pp to fuck up canada before we get another liberal PM. Not what need either, but at least less detrimental.
