We should absolutely get rid of FPTP in favour of proportional representation, however, I don’t know that the current polling situation is actually a result of FPTP. I’m a pretty consistent NDP voter, but I’ve voted Liberal twice - Trudeau once (to bring in proportional rep… lol), and Carney this last time. I know this is unpopular but I didn’t “lend” my vote to Carney to beat the CPC, I genuinely think he’s doing great and will happily vote for Liberals again so long as he’s at the helm.

This is more likely extreme incompetence, not some nefarious plot.

1·14 days agoIt’s both. It’s a bubble because of the amount of investment and lack of actual revenue, but it’s also being used to replace humans. We will have to pick up the pieces when the bubble bursts, but in the mean time it’s going to concentrate wealth and lower the standard of living.

Canada•Premier says Alberta will withhold funding for judges without more input on selection
1·15 days agoHe manually updates the projections, though I’m not sure why he doesn’t update the Alberta one very often, could just be that the data is not very good with so few polls being done.

Canada•Goodbye EV sales mandate. Hello purchase rebates. Carney shakes up Canada's auto industry
72·18 days agoPlug-in vehicles must be under $50,000 to qualify and be made by countries Canada has free trade agreements with, which would exclude any vehicles made in China. The price cap will not apply to Canadian-made vehicles.
Would seem to exclude Teslas (both because they’re >50k and made in China lol), but it’s not clear to me if “plug-in vehicles” means EVs + PHEVs or just PHEVs
Means-testing would make it unnecessarily expensive. Just make it so it only applies to cheap EVs. Applying reabtes to used would be really nice but unfortunately is impossible because a car could be sold used an infinite number of times.
EV incentives are always going to benefit people who can afford cars, which is absolutely imbalanced, but the goal is to just get more EVs on the road and not wealth distribution.
Carney government would never do this, but we should just fund public transit so that it’s free, and fund EV bus fleets.

Canada•Government expected to announce it's scrapping EV mandate in favour of new fuel efficiency system: source
1·18 days agoHydrogen isn’t going to happen. So stop holding your breath.
I don’t believe in or care about hydrogen vehicles, just stating that not having an EV mandate is likely related to the SK MOU because Hyundai is specifically interested in hydrogen. I would not be surprised if this is also the precursor to a Japanese vehicle MOU since they also have an interest in hydrogen.

1·18 days agoAs for the move away from the EV mandate to “fuel efficiency”, we simply don’t have enough details to form a complete opinion yet.
Part of this could be related to the South Korea MOU. Hyundai could be looking to build hydrogen fuel cars here.

Tbh it’s either this or a general election, regardless I think we’re lined up for a Liberal majority
