Yes, this again. Because it's wrong to claim otherwise, and too easy to drive a wedge in if it's not represented properly.

What's the actual emission-per-kilometre for an electric sedan vs. a (ICE) Corolla or an Escalade? As much as we get MPG ratings on the sticker of every car now, we should be seeing exactly what the impact is, not just a misleading "zero emissions."

And sad but true, five provinces and all three territories are backwards enough to not have massive hydro resources available.
