Pick up a 10 year old Tesla -- they're cheap and they have lots of battery life for short commutes.

Oh yeah, my mother was pushed down the internet conspiracy theory rabbit hole by her idiot boyfriend over the course of the pandemic. Their latest dumbass move to was to relocate to Alberta because the political climate more closely aligned with their beliefs. Given that my mother is chronically ill, and it had taken years for her to find good specialists, I will not be surprised when I get the call that she's died early because her disease isn't being properly managed.

That's why there needs to be aggressive rebates and incentives. It's the only way the market gets built. The dumbest part of this whole thing is how easy it would be to get it right.

• Increase gas taxes quarterly, just a fraction of a percent.
• Gas taxes go towards rebate programs, and to incentiveize manufacturers to manufacture locally.
• Carbon taxes to go public transit - increasing the quantity and quality of service while reducing the end user costs to drive demand.
• The more people who use new and improved public transit rather than buying cars to commute, the closer we get to climeate goals.
• The more people who convert to EVs, the closer the country gets to climate goals.
• Repeat this process so that every year, it gets more and more expensive to operate a vehicle that kills the planet, and it gets cheaper and cheaper to get where you need to be with green tech.

About fucking time, assholes. Maybe the CBC should stop posting there.

instead of anything the size of a Honda civic

Chevy Bolt. But they're over $50k CAD before rebates. Fuck that.

Even 'low' gas prices can't compete. If I charge on a street charger from 0%, it costs about $16 for 550km of range. It's free at the office. I bought mine when free unlimited fast charging was offered. I've put nearly 60k kms on the vehicle, and I've paid less than $200 for 'fuel' over the last 4 years.

I don't have a parking spot at home, but my office installed four car chargers, and there were already 120V sockets in every second parking stall. Unlimited charging is included in the parking fee, and they don't care if you plug into the 120V socket. I've left my car there when I was on vacation, and not a peep from them.

There used to be an Electric Ranger, but the snag was that the range was so low that it was only sold for institutional / commercial campus use -- I think it had a 60 mile range, and took overnight to charge.

Yup, they're going to do for pensions what they've done for healthcare!

The only snag is that if you regulate the big players, the disinformation cockroaches will scurry into smaller corners and multiply there.

At least when they're all in one place, it's easier to keep an eye on them all at once.

The true irony here is that my conspiracy-junkie mother is still on Facebook -- despite the fact that it's the single biggest surveillance network that people voluntarily contribute to daily.

So what makes a genocide good or bad is our ability to break our alliance with them?

Why not just say that genocides are bad, no matter who does them, and that we should endeavour to sanction genocidal regimes, no matter who they are?

How about provincial governments make good on their responsibilities to provide healthcare and housing? The federal government is responsible for NEITHER under our constitution.
