Completely. "Economic Reconciliation" sounds like counter insurgency payments. youtu.be/jjKVIsyvcwE?...

I think the hyperbole about Eby being a threat to confederation betrays Kenney's real motive. He's pandering to the separatist base.

Since most Albertans don't want to separate, he's signalling that they can still talk about it but framing BC as the instigator.

While keeping oil in the spotlight.

Sharing this again as Danielle Smith proposes an ambiguous new pipeline to BC's coast with the implied backing of Trans Mountain crown corporation.

The US gas companies treat Northern BC like Afghanistan, and Smith's new proposal sounds like more of the same.

They also encourage it with relentless advertising and the near refusal to make anything other than a truck or SUV. It's like a small-dick-energy feedback loop.

Yeah it's wild. My dad has a 93 Dodge Ram 2500 farm truck and it looks small compared to new pickups.

I have access to a new F-150 at work (crew cab, short box) but most of the time my 2003 Honda Element is more useful because the rear seats fold away or easily unclip, making for a 6 foot covered cargo area.

Ugh. The layers upon layers of enshittification.

Weird how we figured out socialized medicine but socialized mail is just too much. Whenever I see news like this I look up Loblaws and Rogers' net income; it sure seems like we could dial up the socialism a bit and solve a lot of problems.

I believe this is what Pierre Poilievre would call "Warrior Culture."

The same American auto makers who cannot sell sedans, hatchbacks, wagons or minivans also cannot sell EVs in North America, even if they sell them in other markets. Who would have guessed? But they certainly have money to run truck ads.

Wow. A whopping $3 billion across Ford, GM and Stellantis? GM alone had over $14 billion in record profits last year.

It seems like much of the media and commentary conflates EV policy with NA automakers' struggles. Lets not pretend that they are going to thrive with or without an EV Availability Standard.

I wonder if Volkswagen will be next?

I expect a raid against Volkswagen, with sanctions and tariffs against both to follow. Fortifying the American automotive hermit kingdom.

That's why I mostly use On the Run stations in B.C. They have squeegees and recycling bins at the chargers, plus the convenience stores. I use the app because I like to review my charging info and get free coffees, but you can use a credit card. The newer installations have covered parking.

Some brands have invested wisely in EV tech and have successful EV programs, while NA and Japanese brands mostly have not. Backing off from EV policy chooses winners and losers, and makes winners out of losers.

Meanwhile ICE raided Hyundai's new EV plant in Georgia, detaining almost 500 people including South Korean citizens on business travel. The US is working toward an automotive hermit kingdom.

If I was still teaching English Lit I would pitch a course based on books banned in Alberta.

Lol yup. Painfully obvious BS that continues to somehow mop up public funding.

N Vision 74 | Hyundai N Hyundai N Vision 74 is a concept car inspired by the Hyundai Pony Coupe. N Vision 74 is the first high performance Rolling Lab built on the most advanced hydrogen fuel cell.

I feel like Hyundai could repackage the IONIQ 6 N in the Vision 74 design (all battery, no hydrogen) and have an absolute banger EV "muscle car." www.hyundai-n.com/en/models/ro...

My workplace isn't doing this, thankfully. I have been way more productive and healthy since 2020.

I haven't bought American booze in at least 10 years. I've hardly bought anything outside of BC. There are just so many craft distillers.

Living in the dumbest, perma-fried frat-boy timeline.

American auto makers that can't make EVs are the same ones that can't even make hatchbacks, sedans, wagons or vans. But that only applies to North America. We are their dumb money demographic insulated by tariffs.

one of my new pet issues is making canada adopt eu car standards so we can get nicer small cars and hatchbacks

Poilievre says pushing Liberals to repeal EV mandate will be Conservative priority this fall | CBC News Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre said Thursday that his party will focus on pushing the Liberals to repeal the electric vehicle sales mandate during the coming parliamentary sitting.

Conservative playbook will be

Axe the tax,
Axe the bike lanes,
Axe the EVs,
Axe e-bikes,
Axe public transit,
Axe hybrids,
Axe fuel consumption regulations,
Axe South Korea,
Axe startups,
Axe anything smaller than a 6.4L

Until our cheapest mobility option is a Ram 2500

The "big 3" which I guess includes Stellantis, treat North America as dumb money, overpaying for pickups we don't need until the whole NA industry withers away.

Wasn't water pressure for showers one of Trump's unhinged rally rants?
