Getting rid of Justin Trudeau and the Liberals will help Canada become a successful respected country again. canpoli

Maybe give 1.6 billion in green incentives instead of wasting it on the oil industry?

When will the government be purchasing and delivering mine? I want to make sure I'm home

Yay keep that up wind power and sun power and power of endless beneath our feet

Have you seen the cost of electricity in Ontario ? Ontario exports electricity to the USA . Eh ? “Those Americans” get a lower rate than Canadians! What’s up with Canada exporting electricity and Canadians pay more ?

😂😂😂🦄🦄🦄

no one realize the open pit strip mining necessary to get the materials to make the batteries these cars run on? all that mine equipment burns a lot of fossil fuels.

People aren’t going to use transit and electric cars are too expensive still.

Well she is an expert on farming so she should know what she is taking about 😂😂😂😂😂 NOT. Clueless. Expensive, only good for short trips. Would love to be caught on BC highway for 6 hours while they clear the road in an EV.

Lost my appetite. Please no mas McKenna .

Our family tries pretty hard to help lower our emissions but it’s tough with little kids in the winter especially. A flat carbon tax could be seen as regressive especially for lower income families trying to make ends meet. How would the government ensure families aren’t hurt....

LOL! Is she and Trudeau for REAL? LOL!

Sales of electric cars soar but Canada still nowhere near 500,000 goal set in 2009More electric cars were sold in Canada in 2018 than in the previous three years combined, but they still accounted for about two per cent of all vehicles sold Doug Ford killed EV’s! He withdrew rebates! Thought he was a business guy? Crazy how many people will drink the Koolaid imo Do they make a reasonably priced truck that can tow things and are there chargers in the middle of nowhere or do I just not go anywhere beyond the city limits

Electric car sales soaring but Canada still nowhere near goal set in 2009Although more electric cars were sold in Canada in 2018 than in the previous three years combined, they still accounted for about two per cent of the vehicles sold overall and there are only about 100,000 of them on the road. If we can buy a pipeline we can subsidize electric cars. True, a pipeline that will create temp jobs for a bit to get oil to the east coast which we will, in turn, go to the Big Oil companies that aren't situated in Canada which sell the oil anyhow to other countries like the U.S. so they can sell back to Canada for a profit, Too expensive!

Canada ‘Among Worst-Equipped Countries For Electric Cars’Consumers have to be truly adventurous to buy an EV in Canada. It’s so frigid cold. Eh ? When you turn in the those turbo defrosters & turn up the heat, there’s only enough juice to travel 25km. Electric car and extremely cold temperatures don’t work well together. And I’m not even a PHd ! We can thank the Ford government for hindering the advance of this technology in Ontario
