Five auto CEOs warned Carney in May that EV mandate would ‘inflict serious damage’ across industry

OTTAWA — Less than two weeks after the Liberal cabinet was sworn in, the presidents of the five major automakers appealed directly to Prime Minister Mark Carney, requesting him to “urgently” repeal the federal zero-emission vehicle sales mandate, warning of industry-wide repercussions if it is not.

More than two months later, and with no public indication as to whether the government will listen, frustration is only building, says Brian Kingston, president and CEO of the Canadian Vehicle Manufacturers’ Association, which sent the May 26 letter and represents Ford, General Motors, and Stellantis.


Carney is as bad as Junior and possibly as twisted as his wife when it comes to evangelical eco-nuttery.
