Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: Way to the office, take like an all one hundred
- 0:04Speaker 1: and forty kilometers loft the duration, so I have to
- 0:07Speaker 1: charge in the middle of the day in order to
- 0:09Speaker 1: get back home.
- 0:12Speaker 2: Yes, I wanted to show you a little bit more
- 0:15Speaker 2: of Canadian media bias here. So it's always in the framing.
- 0:20Speaker 2: So that's really the main tool that they use. It's
- 0:22Speaker 2: always framing things negatively towards the conservatives, as if it's
- 0:29Speaker 2: a conservative position is out of the norm. It's not,
- 0:34Speaker 2: you know, acceptable, it's not you know, you wouldn't be
- 0:36Speaker 2: acceptable in polite company, or perhaps some sort of it's
- 0:40Speaker 2: influenced by conspiracy thinking perhaps or maybe shadowy scary maga
- 0:46Speaker 2: figures south of the border. Let's take a listen to this.
- 0:51Speaker 2: What's the main reason for your opposition though, Is it
- 0:53Speaker 2: all those practical considerations that you just talked about, or
- 0:56Speaker 2: as in, an ideological opposition to this sort of policy altogether.
- 1:00Speaker 2: So there we go. Is it ideological in other words
- 1:04Speaker 2: like far right far their conservatives, it's just ideology. They're
- 1:10Speaker 2: conspiracy theorists. They're talking about the EV, the insane EV
- 1:15Speaker 2: mandate in Canada, the impossible, unworkable EV mandate with the
- 1:20Speaker 2: goal being zero internal combustion engines being sold in Canada
- 1:25Speaker 2: by twenty thirty five, so zero gas cars in Canada
- 1:29Speaker 2: by twenty thirty five. It starts next year with a
- 1:32Speaker 2: mandate that car dealerships must sell twenty percent of their
- 1:35Speaker 2: inventory must be ev whether people want that or not,
- 1:40Speaker 2: and if they can't do that, they're going to get
- 1:43Speaker 2: hefty fines which will achieve nothing but just driving up
- 1:47Speaker 2: the cost of cars. Canadian, especially Canada, is freezing in
- 1:52Speaker 2: the wintertime. Much of Canada is very cold and gets
- 1:56Speaker 2: very cold in the winter, and there's a little bit
- 1:59Speaker 2: of a problem with evs. Electric vehicles lose up to
- 2:03Speaker 2: fifty four percent of their range in cold weather. Guess
- 2:07Speaker 2: what for a lot you know, for a good portion
- 2:10Speaker 2: of the year, Canada is a frozen wasteland. It's really cold.
- 2:13Speaker 2: Only nine of the test and electric cars of less
- 2:16Speaker 2: than forty percent loss of range. This is not good
- 2:19Speaker 2: deep freeze test for twenty five models. Canada gets very cold.
- 2:24Speaker 2: What's going on here?
- 2:26Speaker 3: And Calgary some evidence of that at the Tesla a
- 2:29Speaker 3: lot where many people, of course are trying to get
- 2:32Speaker 3: that charge and telling us that their Teslas are only
- 2:35Speaker 3: getting about half the mileage as they usually do under
- 2:38Speaker 3: these extreme cold conditions.
- 2:41Speaker 1: Half way to the office take like an all one
- 2:45Speaker 1: hundred and forty kilometers loft the duration, so I have
- 2:48Speaker 1: to charge in the middle of the day in order
- 2:50Speaker 1: to get back.
- 2:51Speaker 2: So it's not reasonable for Canada. Plus it actually damages
- 2:55Speaker 2: the batteries long term, the extreme cold that we have
- 2:59Speaker 2: across much of Canada. Here's Pier Poliev talking about the
- 3:03Speaker 2: Eavy mandate and just illustrating how insane it is.
- 3:09Speaker 4: In just a few months, on January first, the Carnie Mandate,
- 3:14Speaker 4: the Carni ban on your gas vehicle will begin to
- 3:17Speaker 4: be phased in. It will require twenty percent of dealership
- 3:20Speaker 4: sales to be electric, and any car sold above that
- 3:24Speaker 4: quota will pay a twenty thousand dollars tax. I call
- 3:30Speaker 4: it the Carnie tax. The Liberals mandate would continue to
- 3:36Speaker 4: worsen as years go by until twenty thirty five, when
- 3:40Speaker 4: gas vehicles would be banned altogether. The autoestra industry is
- 3:44Speaker 4: already under enormous stress after Mark Carney broke his promise
- 3:48Speaker 4: to get a July twenty first, twenty twenty five deal
- 3:52Speaker 4: with the to end the tariffs imposed by the United
- 3:55Speaker 4: States the last thing they need is a job killing
- 3:59Speaker 4: price high king gas vehicle ban. The CIA found that
- 4:03Speaker 4: all electric vehicles can lose forty percent of their power
- 4:07Speaker 4: during cold winters, eves that are comparable in utility and
- 4:15Speaker 4: function to their gas powered vehicles on average, costs about
- 4:20Speaker 4: twenty thousand dollars more. Consumers should be free to choose
- 4:25Speaker 4: the car or truck that they drive. They should be
- 4:28Speaker 4: able to decide for themselves what they buy and how
- 4:32Speaker 4: they get around. And yet we know that Mark Carney's
- 4:35Speaker 4: plan will punish them for making those choices, and, according
- 4:39Speaker 4: to the Canadian Journal of Economics, kill thirty eight thousand
- 4:43Speaker 4: jobs across this country.
- 4:45Speaker 2: There's so many problems with this, not just the loss
- 4:48Speaker 2: of range. Where are people going to charge their cars?
- 4:52Speaker 2: You live in an apartment block, Where are you going
- 4:53Speaker 2: to charge your car? It takes a long time to
- 4:56Speaker 2: charge an electric car. You're not going to It's not
- 4:59Speaker 2: like just driving into a station to give a few minutes. No,
- 5:02Speaker 2: you're gonna be sitting there for half an hour maybe
- 5:05Speaker 2: at the even if it's take fifteen minutes, right, well,
- 5:09Speaker 2: you're gonna have big lineups a guess at the charging station.
- 5:13Speaker 2: Still it's just not realistic in any in any world.
- 5:18Speaker 2: It's just its madness. Then the grid, where are you
- 5:21Speaker 2: going to get all the all of the energy from?
- 5:24Speaker 2: Are we gonna build twelve giant can do nuclear reactors?
- 5:28Speaker 2: Those things are very expensive. I mean, at least if
- 5:32Speaker 2: they were saying they were going to do that, even
- 5:34Speaker 2: though we can't afford it with a national debt right
- 5:37Speaker 2: now and with our economy. But at least if they
- 5:40Speaker 2: were saying that, like, we haven't heard any what is
- 5:43Speaker 2: it gonna be? Windmills, solar panels. That's not going to
- 5:46Speaker 2: do the job. This thing is just it's bafflingly stupid.
- 5:50Speaker 2: And this was a Trudeau policy, but it was a
- 5:53Speaker 2: Carney policy. Carney had been advising Trudeau since twenty twenty.
- 5:58Speaker 2: We know this. It was in all the papers twenty twenty,
- 6:01Speaker 2: the CARTI was coming on board to advise Trudeau. Just
- 6:04Speaker 2: take just a cursory glance through Mark Cartney's book Values
- 6:07Speaker 2: and you will see this has Mark Cartney's fingerprints all
- 6:11Speaker 2: over it, as does much of the Trudeau policy post
- 6:14Speaker 2: twenty twenty. This is a Carne policy. It's insanity. You'd
- 6:21Speaker 2: have to think that they're gonna scrap it. Or delay
- 6:24Speaker 2: it or something at some point. But who knows. Maybe
- 6:28Speaker 2: maybe this is just a really important part of Mark
- 6:31Speaker 2: Carney turning Canada into his net zero laboratory. Anyway, that's
- 6:37Speaker 2: all i'm gonna say about that. Please like, share and subscribe.
- 6:40Speaker 2: Subscribing really helps me out. I thank you for that.
- 6:43Speaker 2: I will see you next time.
