It's another day in Canada, and it's another reason to be mad at the Trudeau government. Today's clip is from the House of Commons, where Environment Minister Julie DeBruzan was grilled by Conservative MP Dan Mazzeer on the need for Canada to be a gas-powered car-free country.
00:01:42.320Mr. Chair, let me begin by saying that it has been absolutely one of the worst things to see the unjustified tariffs from the United States against our auto sector.
00:01:54.260We will have our auto sectors back, and the workers in that industry, we have their backs.
00:01:59.060Do you intend to keep that policy? Yes or no?
00:02:35.260Mr. Chair, he's aware that the regulation sets us towards targets to increase the number of sales of EVs across our country.
00:02:45.220Mr. Chair, it took almost five minutes for that woman to almost admit that less than 10 years from now, you will not have a choice in the vehicle you drive, meaning a gas-powered vehicle.
00:03:02.260Let alone the fact that they're going to pour a lot more of your tax dollars into EV companies and subsidized battery companies, and who knows what the car companies are thinking.
00:03:10.720They want to build the cars they want to build that they can sell, instead of them sitting on lots, EVs, and not being sold.
00:03:17.600Why not move it all to the United States?
00:03:19.680Donald Trump's probably smiling this morning.
00:03:23.420I mean, I drove out yesterday with my family.
00:03:38.360Let alone the fact that if we have two weeks of minus 35 temperatures here in Alberta during the wintertime, an EV just won't make it, folks.
00:03:48.620So this is the next layer they're adding on.
00:04:00.240Now, if you've been here for a while, you know I ragged on Pierre Polyev for not taking credit for getting rid of the carbon tax on gasoline.
00:04:07.640That personal carbon tax you've been paying for years, he's the guy that wanted to axe the tax.
00:04:13.580The liberals never would have done it if it wasn't for Polyev.
00:04:16.700And he blew a golden opportunity on this type of issue, meaning EVs during the election campaign.
00:04:23.900I went back and grabbed this clip from March 30th.
