She can enjoy no funding then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elias Pettersson Posted Wednesday at 05:55 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 05:55 AM When Harper wiped the floor with Ignatieff in 2011 and the Liberals only won 34 seats, the Toronto-St. Paul riding was one of the 34 seats they won. So, losing this riding is huge for the Liberals. More than people realize... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely he is a major factor. Bottom line is the incredibly weak bench strength of the Liberal Party. Yes, Trudeau signed off on all their nomination papers so it is on him. Trudeau had no credentials to be a PM and then he put no qualifications Freeland in as Finance Minister. Has there ever been a more devisive pairing in our history? Has there ever been more hogs at the trough than now?

The other option is a career politician who has only lived at the trough. How does one accumulate the wealth he has living on a MP's salary? What are his credentials? As far as I can see he has never worked in the private sector in his life. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he has to in order to keep all the monkeys in his circus The pro oil group demands all supporters never question oil, never question their record profits and low taxes , attack everything to do with EV's and demand tax payers fund anything they want and pay the full bill as anything less must be taken as wanting to kill them and their workers lives I wish this was a joke but it isn't .....

EV's aren't like a Playstation. You have to see what your needs are, and if an EV makes sense. I find it funny 4 years ago all the Musk Fanboys were making fun of Toyota and it's push for hybrids. Now Toyota's have a wide range of hybrids, and they can't keep them in stock. I'm for anything that saves me money at the pump. But until either a) The charging infrastructure improves. b) New battery tech improves the speed of charging (Range would be a nice benefit too). There's a difference between the growth of EV's isn't as strong, and the statement no one is buying them. It's just the massive growth spikes we've seen in the past are cooling down. A large problem is the cost of purchasing an EV's. The funny part is it's not like you buy the EV and you get a cheque for the rebate. You never see the rebate, it's just being knocked off the price. Hard for me as a renter to justify buying an EV. But a RAV4 hybrid is looking better and better. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard for me as a renter to justify buying an EV. But a RAV4 hybrid is looking better and better. I'm still laughing at the idea I don't use electric power. At the time (3 years ago) a PHEV made the most sense for us. We get about 40km of full EV range, which pretty much means I never use gas in town. Hybrid mode for the highway for skiing. So for us its a great mix, and I haven't noticed any cold weather performance drop, other than maybe losing about 5km of range on really cold days. We do need much better infrastructure, which will happen. Same with range, particularly if the solid state lithium batteries come online soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
