Canadians are facing a cost-of-living crisis due to soaring prices for everything from transportation to housing, clothing, and food. Nearly three in four Canadians report that rising prices are affecting their ability to meet day-to-day expenses.
Now life is about to get even more expensive for Canadians with the federal government’s plan to regulate vehicle sales.
Sales regulations restrict the gas-powered vehicles available to Canadians, no matter how fuel efficient or for what purpose they are needed. Given the price gap between gas-powered vehicles and zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs), that means low- and middle-income, rural, remote and Northern Canadians will bear the brunt of this misguided policy.
It’s the Star so ultimately the author believes EV’s will be our salvation by just throwing more money at them!
No mention of how these deadweights will be charged every evening of course. That’s funny given the Star just published an article about the extension granted the aged Pickering Nuclear station in light of anticipated power shortages.
