Honestly, I'd favour dropping any incentives for EVs, so long as Canada were to then redirect its efforts into transit and active transport. You just can't replace every combustion car on the road with an EV, but you can narrow roads, reduce lanes, and add trains, trams, and cycle paths.

Watch Carney disappoint again 🙄
I fucking hope not
So I'm guessing that Automakers will just start pulling out of Canada? Does Canada even have any automakers of their own, besides Edison?
There's Lion Electric in Quebec but it's very early and a while. before anything from them hits the consumer market.
They do buses right now but they have shown prototypes of consumer cars in the past.
We have independant parts manufacturing, Autosystems had 3 plants in belleville and prolly lots more around the coutry, we have the skilled labour in that sector, so if someone with enough money wants to, they def can start up car manufacturing fairly easily for the circumstances
I mean, maybe? But it'll cost a lot compared to places like China and India, so it'll be luxury cars only. And the market will basically be just Canada.
Jeff Bezos will eat their lunch with the Slate truck.
God forbid we stop subsidizing the rich buying EV and start subsidizing mass transit. Given we are the only country in the G7 without high speed rail, much of our main arteries are unchanged from the 1960s, and we keep doing mass immigration.
