    Electric shock: A new study found that EVs were more expensive to fuel than gas-powered cars at the end of 2022

    One of my concerns is the old Beta/VHS dilemma like we witnessed with the whole Propane powered vehicles in days gone by now. There’s going to be winners & losers….& the wrong gamble can be expensive…even without the whims of wokeness via Gov’t mandate decrees from above. In the Beta/VHS war...

    Electric shock: A new study found that EVs were more expensive to fuel than gas-powered cars at the end of 2022

    At this point, either ICE or Hybrid have infrastructure in place, and the Hybrid will probably have rebates. Hydrogen Infrastructure and storage are still issues currently from what I understand, but the first Hydrogen Motorcycle is out on the market already.

    Hamas attacks Israel

    Hamas isn’t going to agree to remove themselves, or remove themselves from power over Gaza. It’s not in their charter. The Hamas goal isn’t peace, or the preservation of Arab/Palestinian lives, but the elimination of all Jewish lives in Israel and elsewhere as well as the erasure of Israel as a...

    Electric shock: A new study found that EVs were more expensive to fuel than gas-powered cars at the end of 2022

    The Tesla Model Y came out. It’s not like it was the only EV sold, but it’s probably the reason that sales numbers in the 3rd quarter of 2023 where as good as they where. Cool car, and it spiked sales for that quarter. The long range version starts at about $70,000 in Canadian Pesos. I’ve got a...

    Canada needs to boost home building by 50 per cent to keep up with immigration, report says

    Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says he knows young people are frustrated with him, and chief among those frustrations is the high cost of housing, which has left many young people feeling home ownership is out of reach. However, Trudeau denies critics who suggest the federal government only...

    Well, today is the Liberal/NDP Non-Coalition Coalition Budget Day!

    Pollara Strategic Insights’ class identity survey, involving 3,000 adult Canadians, showed that optimism has reached its lowest point in nine years. Less than 31 per cent of respondents said they are optimistic about the future of Canada’s middle class, marking a significant drop from 53 per...

    Electric shock: A new study found that EVs were more expensive to fuel than gas-powered cars at the end of 2022

    Dealers across the country (the Canadian one) have unsold EVs piling up on their lots because automakers overestimated consumer demand, made too many of them and ended up shipping the extras to dealerships whether the retailers wanted them or not. There are now too many EVs and not enough...

    Liberals do damage control after Hamas leader sends thank you message.

    I wouldn’t exactly call that “storming” parliament, but more of a “temporarily occupying an adjacent or almost adjacent postal code” of parliament perhaps?

    Electric shock: A new study found that EVs were more expensive to fuel than gas-powered cars at the end of 2022

    "I do believe governments have a very important role in helping to close that gap. Not forever, but for a period of time." The real evidence of that is EV penetration in Quebec and B.C., which offer additional rebates to the $5,000 offered by the federal government, Hiscox said. It’ll be...

    Who seems to know his stuff, and can explain it clearly & concisely, with his applicable background through his career and education via the Henley-Putnam School of Strategic Security that focuses on intelligence management, & counterterrorism studies.

    Hamas attacks Israel

    It all goes back to the asymmetrical warfare described in about five minutes in post#964. The answer relies on the tolerance, empathy, and media culture of the West...

    Hamas attacks Israel

    Shame the vid in #964 is age restricted, so someone has to actually login to see it. What’s happening in the vid in #966 isn’t surprising, it’s a resupply. How many hostages from Oct 7th where released in the increased humanitarian aid straight to Hamas? Will the fuel tanks on every truck...

    Electric shock: A new study found that EVs were more expensive to fuel than gas-powered cars at the end of 2022

    http://www.youtube.com/shorts/HXgUYQf5Aig So these will come with subsidies still, & perhaps even more than already handed out at least initially…which is not sustainable in the long run until 2035, so those with the means to purchase an EV now get subsidized by those who can’t or won’t...

    Write a letter to Jagmeet. It’s either his or Justin’s call…in the non-coalition coalition that’s not a coalition-type coalition.
