I was being mostly sarcastic. I realize its a non-partisan bill. But still, I don’t see how this is popular.

It’s like they are trying their hardest to have no chance of winning the next election.

On an average day, I probably drive less than 20km. However, I’m frequently making trips about 300km out of the city with family. When I’m staying out that way I don’t have a garage to park in. There is zero public transit and I don’t think I’ve seen a single EV out that way.

Much of the country does not have access to any meaningful public transit.

My panel is full. I’d have to have a new outlet at 220v added and upgrade the panel. Can you charge two cars on the same circuit?

I’m excited to see how we upgrade everyone’s houses to handle charging. I don’t think my house can handle it without spending thousands to upgrade. Not to mention adding chargers to all apartments and condos.

This is crazy. What is happening? Have you seen the videos from the Eaton Centre?

At least they are consistent.

Thank you. Yes, I agree. I think that’s what I’m feeling right now, too.

I think it just brought back a lot of feelings of when I was younger and the future seemed so optimistic.

I don’t understand why they don’t use carbon tax revenues to fund public transit, electric car rebates, and other noticeable benefits. Instead, I pay carbon tax to heat my house, on my fuel and I still have to pay $20 a day in transit.

Instead, it’s a black hole of who knows where it goes. This is the Canadian way of solving problems though. More taxes and no accountability until it bites us in the ass.

I’m just going to edit to add:

Electric cars aren’t great in Canada. Distances are often too far and cold weather really restricts batteries. We will always need some type of fuel.

Same with home heating. Heat pumps don’t work in very cold weather. We will still need to burn fuel.

In both cases we are paying carbon tax when we really have choice of “cleaner” alternatives.

Top talent won’t toast your Tim Horton’s bagel.

I didn’t even know she wasn’t Canadian. This is much worse.

The evidence is pretty damning.

This is gold

Yes. Let’s just add that final nudge to get world war three kicked off in earnest.

Hear me out. Let’s make a few nukes. Sure we cut back on military spending, but if you try anything… nuked. We have the uranium.

Allowing online gambling ads has been a terrible idea. The commercials are awful and they are everywhere. They are probably the worst commercials dreamed up from the depths of frozen Canadian hell. I can’t even leave the TV on in the background if I’m doing something else.

I didn’t know any Americans cared about Canadian politics. Welcome. It’s a dim place, but at least we’re not quite at dark cesspit yet. We are doing are darnedest to get there though.

Are we taking bets on whether anyone will face any real consequences for this?

Yes. I agree with you. I think that’s an awful idea. It wasn’t clear what the poster was suggesting, which is why i asked for clarification.

He asks whether the government will interfere with the BoC, but then says that is only one tool. Then suggests the BoC is incorrect with raising rates since housing prices are not dropping.

Again, the BoC is doing exactly what it is supposed to. The government is failing to address the other issues, which really isn’t a BoC issue.
