I really hope the following happens despite Carney and the Conservatives.

We should already start the phasing out process.

  1. Ban non-commercial vehicles sizes by a huge amount.
  2. Ban highly inefficient vehicles.
  3. Create a much wider ban on obnoxiously loud vehicles -- all of them, including sports cars, trucks, motorcycles, so people replace with vehicles that don't disturb the peace.
  4. Incentives folks to buy bikes and e-bikes.
  5. Carbon incentive was a good idea, but did get the good momentum it deserved.
  6. The climate is becoming much worse, drastic measures are needed to be taken. And its our responsibility to bring them. I have no sympathy for any of these gas guzzling folks.

I think edging while still strafing through a high majority agreement is the way to go. Oversized vehicles need to go for example. Incentives for bikes and e-bikes makes sense. Don't ban all sport vehicles but, but impose more restrictions.

And engage the public for their opinion: polls, open-ended questions, anything. It should be so easy with healthy internet platforms.
