Automakers cheer pause on federal EV mandate, but want a full repeal of lunatic Liberal policy

Canada’s auto sector won a policy victory on Friday as Prime Minister Mark Carney announced a one-year pause on the federal electric vehicle mandate, which requires 20 per cent of all 2026 model year vehicles sold to be electric, but many in the industry are looking for even more changes.

The Canadian Vehicle Manufacturers Association, a lobby group for three United States-based automakers with operations in Canada, said it will continue to push for a full repeal of the EV mandate. To that end, Carney also announced a 60-day review of the EV mandate.

Canada delaying plan to force automakers to hit sales targets for EVs next year: sources

Prime Minister Mark Carney is delaying a plan to force automakers to hit minimum sales levels for electric vehicles next year, according to sources knowledgeable of the plans.

The move comes as the industry has struggled under U.S. tariffs

Sources, who spoke on the condition they not be named because they were not authorized to speak publicly, said the EV mandate will be put on pause as the government reviews the policy.

The 60-day review will look at the entire mandate and next steps, the sources said.

Not for a minute do I believe Carney has had a change of heart. He and his wife are ECO-Nazis, EV’s for them, shoe leather for you, that’s if you can afford shoes.

Hundreds Arrested in Immigration Raid at Hyundai Site in Georgia

Nearly 500 people were arrested as part of an immigration raid at a Hyundai Motor battery plant under construction in Georgia as part of a criminal investigation into employment practices at the site, a Homeland Security official said Friday.

The operation Thursday resulted in the arrest of 475 individuals, the majority of whom were South Korean nationals, said Steven Schrank, a special agent in charge of Homeland Security investigations in Atlanta.

From child labour working the Cobalt mines in Africa to illegal alien labour in Georgia “Green Tech” is an evil lie.

Quebec declares Northvolt battery plant partnership dead, loses $270M investment

Quebec’s Northvolt project is officially dead — and the government says it is cutting its losses.

Christine Fréchette, Quebec’s economy minister, announced Tuesday that the province will invest no further money in Northvolt Batteries North America.

“The company’s failure to present a satisfactory plan with regard to Quebec’s interests has led us to assert our rights in order to recover as much of our investment as possible,” Fréchette’s said in a statement. “This venture proved unsuccessful, and we are obviously disappointed.”

Budget officer demands answers on ballooning EV subsidies

Canada’s budget watchdog is pressing Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne for updated figures on the true cost of Ottawa’s electric vehicle battery subsidies, warning taxpayers are being kept in the dark as the industry falters.

Budget Officer Yves Giroux wrote to the Department of Finance on August 14 asking for revised forecasts on both construction support and ongoing production subsidies.

What is ‘carbon tax 2.0′ and how will axing it boost Canadians’ income? Here’s what we know

After forcing the Liberals to scrap the consumer carbon tax earlier this year, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre pledged to get rid of “carbon tax 2.0.”

“We are making it a priority to boost take-home pay and reverse the Liberal cost of living crisis by opposing (Prime Minister) Mark Carney’s carbon tax 2.0,” Poilievre announced during his trip to the East Coast this week.

Conrad Black: A fragile federation awaits Carney’s green assault

Prime Minister Mark Carney is enjoying a honeymoon in the polls, as all incoming leaders deserve. Less comprehensible are the celebrations that are quite audibly in progress about all that he is accomplishing. I have even seen adulatory references to his “first hundred days,” and favourable comparisons with the beginning of the administration of Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1933 when he saved the collapsed financial system and reopened the banks and stock and commodity exchanges and set up the workfare programs that provided public works and conservation jobs for the 30 per cent of the population that was without work and received no federal assistance. Obviously, we do not have a similar state of urgency in Canada today. Nor do we have a government that as far as I can see has actually done anything except announce one or two good personnel appointments and proclaim a readiness in principle to expedite some large unspecified projects.

Climate Inquisition Silenced a Generation of Scientists

When researchers abandon empirical observation in favor of predetermined conclusions, science transforms into propaganda – something far more dangerous than the simple ignorance perpetuated. In climate sciences, funding agencies and international political bodies have dictated outcomes while authentic scientists faced systematic marginalization for questioning the prevailing narrative.

‘Green’ Europe’s industrial masochism

If a self-described leader finds that nobody is following, is leadership present? Perhaps. The next question might be, where is the leader headed?

These queries could well be put to the European Union’s makers of energy policy, who fancy themselves as groundbreakers for a supposed transition away from fossil fuels in favor of “green” technologies. (We use qualifying quotation marks because wind turbines and solar panels have plenty of environmental downsides.)

But, according to recent Energy Institute data, European leaders are driving not a bandwagon onto which the world is jumping but rather a hearse toward self-destruction.

GREEN: U.S. rejection of climate-alarmist worldview has major implications for Canada

The United States Department of Energy recently published a report, which essentially summarizes the U.S. government’s rejection of the 30-year-old, United Nations-centric, climate-alarmed consensus worldview.

Carney and his whole family are eco-nuts, especially when there’s profit to be had.

Profit that always translates to your loss without discernible benefit to anything or anyone beyond the connected.

The economy-wrecking, impossible pipe dream of Net Zero, Part One

I RECENTLY rediscovered my first online post of April 2015, an early debunking of the climate change hoax and what later became Net Zero. I debunked the climate hoax again in May 2024, helpfully rendered as a polished video presentation by fellow campaigner Ivor Cummins. Significant developments since then have at long last brought the economy-wrecking Net Zero agenda close to its inevitable demise.

And …

Carney’s conundrum: Will he abandon some 40,000 farmers to save Canada’s auto industry?

You might have seen those bright yellow fields reaching toward the horizon under a clear blue sky — fields of canola spread across Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba, bringing in billions of dollars each year for farmers and their families.

Now the annual harvest is in danger: one of Canada’s biggest customers, China, has slapped a 76 per cent tariff on canola seed, as well as a 100 per cent tariff on canola oil and meal. Why has it done this? In retaliation for the 100 per cent tariff Canada applied to Chinese electric vehicles starting last October. We were copying the United States at the time, back when relations between our two countries were more cordial, to protect the American and Canadian auto industries. But the Canadian sector, which operates mostly in Ontario, has yet to produce a single EV.

STIRLING: Carbon capture carrot for oil companies and stick for taxpayers

Western Canadians were hopeful this spring as Canada’s newly minted Prime Minister Mark Carney declared his intention to make Canada an energy superpower with the “strongest economy in the G7.”

Such bold claims were reiterated by Tim Hodgson, Minister of Energy and Natural Resources, in media appearances at the Calgary Stampede. Like Carney, Hodgson especially highlighted his interest in the Pathways Alliance Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) proposal. CCS captures carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from industrial operations and transfers them by pipeline to be stored deep underground. This project would supposedly help Canada meet Net Zero climate targets.

MCTEAGUE: ’Net-Zero’ Carney’s going to build new pipelines? I’ll believe it when I see it!

Ever since Mark Carney’s rise to power, people have been trying to sell me on the idea that he’s just what this country needs — a (supposedly) practical, no-nonsense businessman who can clean up the mess his highly-ideological predecessor, Justin Trudeau, left us in. To reinforce this claim, they point to the constant rumblings about Carney’s commitment to building new oil and gas pipelines in Canada.

I’m sorry, folks, but I’ll believe it when I see it.

Carney gave a pipeline killing bludgeon to the Aboriginals. That was deliberate.
