BUT CANADA DOESN'T 'LIVE BECAUSE OF THE UNITED STATES’. CANADA THRIVES BECAUSE WE ARE CANADIAN.”

Canada thrives because we are Canadian.

Nuclear is slow to build so I imagine that the oil corporations prefer it over wind and solar.

Trump is a much bigger threat to the Canadian auto industry than

Chinese EV’s will only account for 3 % of new car sales so it won’t have a major impact on Canadian automotive manufacturers. Trump is a bigger threat. And taking 50000 gas guzzlers off the road will reduce carbon emissions by over 200 million tons.

Replacing 50000 gas guzzlers with EV’s will reduce carbon dioxide emissions by over 200 million tons. Seems like a good thing to me.

Taking 50000 gas guzzlers off the road each year will reduce carbon dioxide emissions by over 200 million tons. Well done!

Donald Trump’s threats against Greenland undermine NATO, but also risk fatally harming cooperation among the A7 Arctic states.

Our Nordic allies are clear and united that Greenland is part of K. of Denmark and its future is for Greenlanders to decide.

Canada must be as clear.

Honestly the Liberals had swung pretty hard left and eaten the NDP's lunch while leaving the *entire* right to the Conservatives.

This is an opportunity to retake the centre and go back to being the "socially progressive (mostly) and fiscally conservative (kinda)" party.

As far as I'm concerned, the game, and the board, and the prize, is a national energy grid. Which is what the MOU *really* puts into motion, while everyone is obsessing over hypothetical pipelines.

National energy grid + renewables + grid level storage = fossil fuels becoming a niche commodity.

Canada is investing over $10M to support EVs and make charging easier nationwide. ⚡🇨🇦

This includes funding for 1,200+ new chargers in ON, NB, and AB, plus research to make EV motors more affordable and efficient.
