Scrapped the carbon tax and rebate

Which would have got PCs elected if they didn't do that. Killing the carbon tax gained Carney 30 points.

So before we blame THE GOVMINT maybe count all the pickup trucks on the roads?

total EV sales for Canada 2025: 170,000, only 8.4%. 91.6% chose ICE.

F150s: 138,000 Silverado: 54,000 RAM 1500: 43,000 Toyota pickups: 30,000

The reality is 9.4% of Canada's GDP is in petroleum. Is the problem government, or is the problem Canadians who pretend they aren't Americans?

    This is your reminder, Canadian, that rich people don't give a fuck what country you're from. The same people fucking us, Americans, are fucking you, Canadians.

    Or have you forgotten that Kevin O'Leary is from Canada?

    Oh, it's Lemmy, I forgot to use crayons.

    The point: Canadian voters do not give a fuck about the environment. Younger voters? Do they even vote? only 65% voter turnout.

    Carney cut the Carbon tax and gained 30 points. So... that's Carney's fault? Do we want government that represents us or not?

    Problem here is not government, it's all these assholes who don't care about C02 outputs, they just want their truck, boat and cottage.
