Carney Liberal's INSANE EV Mandate Paused · Radio Baloney - The Richie Baloney Show!

  Speaker 1: We will remove the twenty twenty six electric Vehicle Availability Standard,
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: which specifies the share of new vehicle sales it must
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: be electric next year.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: So, with his poll numbers going the wrong way, Mark
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: Kearney has decided to pause, not end, but pause the
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: absolutely insane net zero Dream zero emission vehicle mandate for Canada.
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: It's not gone, it's just paused for twenty twenty six.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: And I'm sure this is causing Mark Cardi great personal suffering,
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: as he was really looking forward to central planning everything
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: that you do, including what kind of car that you
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: can drive. But again, polls are starting to go the
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: wrong direction, and well everything else is terrible, and this
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: seemed like an easy way to trick the people who
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: voted for him into thinking that he's actually doing something,
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: even if it's just pausing a program that only exists
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: because of the Liberal government. Anyway, well, let's hear what
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: he has to say about it.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: So to add flexibility to the automotive sector, we will
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: remove the twenty twenty six Electric Vehicle Availability Standard, which
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: specifies the share of new vehicle sales that must be
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: electric next year. This will provide immediate financial relief to
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: automakers at a time of increased pressure on their competitiveness,
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: and the government will begin immediately a sixty day review
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: of the EV standard to identify future flexibilities and ways
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: to reduce costs.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: Well, thanks so much for fixing the problem that well,
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: you guys caused. And yes, this was a Trudeau programmed
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: but let's not forget Mark Carney had been advising Justin
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: Trudeau since twenty twenty And if you read Markcartney's book Values,
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: this EV mandate, this central planning, this eco utopianism, has
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: Mark Cartney's fingerprints all over it. He obviously was the
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: one who came up with the idea in the first place. Now,
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: just a quick refresher on the program. It was a
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: mandate from the government that all new light duty vehicles
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: be one hundred percent zero emission vehicles by twenty thirty five.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: That's right, not even hybrids. You couldn't even get a
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: hybrid by twenty thirty five. It has to be a
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: plug in zero emission vehicle. And the target for twenty
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: twenty six was twenty percent. So any car dealership that
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: didn't sell at least twenty percent of its inventory being
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: zero emission vehicles would be fined twenty thousand dollars per vehicle,
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: and that was supposed to go up to sixty percent
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: by twenty thirty and as you can see, eight point
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: seven percent in quarter one twenty twenty five. This was
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: going to be an enormous catastrophe for the auto industry,
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: and we're just going to drive up the cost of
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: vehicles for consumers as well. Not very smart, not very
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: well thought out, but it's the kind of thing you'd
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: expect from a bureaucrat, which is what Mark Kearney is.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: And of course you have the issue that Canada is
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: cold a lot of the time, really cold, and these
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: batteries do not perform well in the cold, so not practical.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: Not to mention the fact that the grid is nowhere
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: near being able to handle all of those EVSE. People
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: will be waiting in lines at charging stations for hours
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: to charge their cars. None of this is going to work.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: It's not practical, it's just terrible. It just feels like
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: a way of trying to de industrialize Canada. I mean,
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: I'm sure grenwit Tunberg would be thrilled that maybe she'll
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: tell Hamas what a great guy Mark Carti is. Although
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: actually they already like him anyway. But after repeat, he's
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: not getting rid of the program, it's just being suspended
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: for a little while. It's still part of his master
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: global net zero plan.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: We will soon also release our climate Competitiveness strategy to
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: position Canada as a leader in decarbonization.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: Climate competitiveness strategy. So who are we competing with? Well,
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: the US said, no carbon tax is there, China's constantly
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: building new coal plants. They don't care. India is not
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: going to sacrifice growth for that. The EU is a
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: total basket case with the largest economies they're contracting, and
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: they're already making noises that they're not fully on board
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: with all of these net zero fantasies. So competing with
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: who with ourselves? This is all just starting to feel
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: like an ideological crusade on Mark Karney's part, you know,
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: the guy who was the UN Climate envoy, you know,
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: the global banking net zero guy.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: And we'll look at the interaction between the EV mandate
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: or clean fuel standards, our investment tax credits, or trade policy,
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: all of those elements, because what this government is focused
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: on is absolutely results, not.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: Saying yeah, it's not going anywhere. The EV Mandate's gonna stay.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: He's going to pause it briefly, but his climate zelotry
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: is not going anywhere, and neither is the EV Mandate. Anyway.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: That's all I'm gonna say about that. Please like, share,
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: and subscribe. Subscribing really helps me out. I thank you
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: for that. I will see you next time.
