How cringeworthy running a MAGA bot(s).
If he is not here legally, ship him to Texas where he can find work for Ken Paxton or Greg Abbott.

"Big Brother" now wants to control crime statistics.
He could revise them up or down for any nefarious reason.
Another brick in the authoritarian wall.
How much are we going to tolerate?

P.P. cannot help his hysterical-self from whipping up anger from his clueless followers. Can we just be rid of him?
Pay him his $7M pension and get him out of Stornoway.
Ottawa and most Canadians have zero use for the clown.

What's slimy, green and flourishing thanks to climate change? | CBC News Canada's lakes are changing because of warming caused by the burning of fossil fuels. Here's why scientists are concerned.

Aside from climate change, excess nitrogen and phosphorus can also contribute to algal growth when they are carried into waterways through runoff from animal manure and chemical fertilizers, stormwater and wastewater.

So well said.
May I add that N.P. CONsistently suck up to Poilievre, like today where the great pretender, our twenty year second chance guy is crowing for a shred of relevancey with his call for "shovels in the ground - now".
Don't think it though.
Just shovel.

Fair enough.
My point was simply that one person's "unreliability" is an other survey's "very reliable".
And my larger point was that any vehicle ICE or EV can have potential reliability issues, or be very reliable.
Your initial claim inferred otherwise on both counts.

Do any ICE vehicles have reliability issues? Yup.
2025 Ford F-150 Lightning earned a reliability score of 28. Ranked near the top of the list. The electric pickup slotted 3rd trailing the 2025 Volkswagen ID.4 and 2025 Genesis G70, each with a score of 29 points.

It will all work out. Canada cannot be an EV outlier forever and we weren't until 2025. Tariffs. Uncertainty. No rebates. A log jam. But it will get solved. Trust.

Yes in an ideal world. But, if the allotted funds were used up as reported, it is my understanding that would require some sort of budgetary approval. That should happen in the fall. Very little in this world is perfect.

They are very reliable already.
For many the savings in gas and maintenance is a no brainer.
Though removing the carbon tax didn't help the math.
Some say we should tax the sale of new ICE vehicles and rebate that money to incentivize folks going EV.
Imagine P.P. losing his mind if that happened.

Not true at all. There are many EVs available in Canada. I will concede that N.A. automakers have not done very good job on the entry level EV models, the Chinese have given them a wake up call and that too will change eg. Chevrolet will reintroduce their Bolt, a new Nissan Leaf coming soon etc.

Impossible to deny, yet look at Trump, Smith, Moe and P.P.
They do.
And they wield a lot of power and influence on behalf of the fossil fuel industry and their own self-interest,

Except, technically we are still trying to reach an agreement.
Trump would throw a hissy fit if we reduced Chines EV tariffs to EU levels.
If ultimately the tariff talks completely break down, then you probably negotiate something with China, so that it is a win win for us.
