UNIFOR wants to take over the GM plant in Oshawa and convert it to building electric cars.

That should be grounds for Alberta separation as it is their DUTY to be building clunkers with massive engines that burn Bunker C, so that each and every Albertan has more to write that cheque that they to send to Oshawa every week.

Ontariowe can use bunkerC to generate the power to recharge all those Lektrik gizmos. And buy massive amounts of diesel for the portable charge units when the lektrik gizmos die on the freeway at 40 below.

That explains why you like them so much. Fewer jobs higher profits since electric cars are so much more expensive than a comparable real car.

manufacturing costs for e vehicles are far far less than for gas vehicles, both in parts and in most especially in labor.

you use that advantage to build tech superiority

Tesla battery tech is 7-8 years old?

still unsurpassed as they ready for the launch of the new battery?

Germany, Mexico and Brazil are the only three countries that made the old VW.

It's not a long list.

All of which equals higher profits for the corporations. At least until the lithium miners unionize. Or we get a responsible government that ends subsidies for inferior products.

This is why oil is dying.

In 2009 Exxon was the number one stock on the S&P500.

Today it is 11. The first time in 80 years an oil stock was not included in the top 10?
