Following in the footsteps of California, the U.K., and Japan.
The government of Canada has announced its intention to ban the sale of any and all fuel-burning new cars and light-duty trucks from the year 2035, according to Reuters. This would outlaw hybrids, plug-in hybrids, and, of course, regular gas-only cars. It's all part of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's goal to get the entire country to net-zero emissions by 2050.
If an EV-only future really does happen for Canada by 2035, it won't be an overnight transition which is why the government is also proposing yet-to-be-disclosed interim targets for 2025 and 2030. "We are committed to aligning Canada's zero-emission vehicles sales targets with those of the most ambitious North American jurisdictions," Canadian Environment Minister Jonathan Wilkinson said in a statement.
According to the report, just 3.5 percent of cars sold in Canada today are electric.

ORWELLIAN: Canada Moves to Ban ‘Hate Speech’ Online, Punishable by a $40,000 Fine!

Last week, Canada’s Liberal Party headed by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau proposed new legislation to criminalize “hate speech” online, punishable by a $50,000 fine (roughly $40,000 U.S.D.), paid to the government. Government officials, including the attorney general and the minister of public safety, announced the new bill on Wednesday.
“Canadians expect their government to take action against hate speech and hate crimes. These legislative changes would improve the remedies available to victims of hate speech and hate crimes, and would hold individuals accountable. The actions we are taking today will help protect the vulnerable, empower those who are victimized and hold individuals to account for the hatred they spread online,” David Lametti, minister of justice and attorney general, said in a statement.
Lametti introduced amendments to Canada’s Criminal Code, the Canadian Human Rights Act, and the Youth Criminal Justice Act. Lametti and his allies justified their Orwellian move by claiming that “hate speech” online can turn into “offline hate.”
“Too many people and communities in Canada are harmed and victimized by hate speech, which is often amplified and spread online. Online hate can turn into offline hate with devastating impacts on communities and families. We have a responsibility to victims to take action to combat hate online and continue to build a more inclusive Canada,” the Justice Department explained in a statement.

Good luck with your electrical grid when everyone plugs in their electric car to charge at the same time (after work)!
Deep States don’t want you driving.
The freedom to vote with your feet is not in their best interest.
These fidiots really are just that. 🤡🐃💩
We’ll see how EVs work for ice road trucking.
Time for Canadians to touch base with the Cubans to find out how they keep their ‘57 Chevys running.
They’ll just redefine what a car is.
Imagine relying on an electric car in northern Alberta in the winter time.
>>Good luck with your electrical grid when everyone plugs in their electric car to charge at the same time (after work)!
Which will make having a car so unworkable, that people will be forced to rely on public transportation cattle cars. Which will only be workable if everyone is crammed into dense urban housing. Goodbye freedom of movement; government controls all travel.
Why wait til 2035, do it now!!!!
Have fun suckers I’ll be driving gas powered and riding my motorcycle till my expiration date and never have to drive this crap unless I need automated driver for being too old.
I know below 0*F EV batteries can lose as much as 25-40% of their range. (Subject to battery chemistry and construction) and you get into the typical -20 to -30 January mornings, you’re losing 50-60%. Battery tech is improving, but it’s still a significant limitation in northern climates.
I’ll turn 78 in 2035 so it may not affect me too much, but assuming these bans actually happen, the regulators will soon ban the repair of ICE too. Otherwise too many people will continue driving older cars to avoid going all electric.
Also get used to it, the same idiocy is here now, look at New Mexico and their mandated zero carbon schedule, RIDICULOUS!
GGGR,.... WILL NOT BE ENOUGH to support.
