00:00:00.000And one of the big ones that really stuck out to, I think, all of us over the last couple of years was this looming ban on the sale of what I would call normal gasoline and diesel-powered vehicles, new ones off the lot.
00:00:12.100Now, for some folks, they're like, oh, that's only happening in 10 years or so, or that was a Trudeau thing.
00:00:19.440You know, these restrictions are kicking in very soon.
00:00:21.820They're going to start tightening the belt on everybody.
00:00:23.800also as far as we can tell carney's still going full steam ahead with trudeau's crazy plan to
00:00:29.960ban the sale of gas and diesel powered vehicles and force people to purchase battery powered
00:00:35.000vehicles instead uh where do we stand on this like what kind of money are we spending federally
00:00:41.040i wanted to take on ontario premier doug ford in a minute here but just give us a bit of a
00:00:45.860national overview as far as this is concerned so far well no it looks like the government is still
00:00:50.920going forward with its plans to ban new gas and diesel vehicles by 2035 right but like actually
00:00:56.960the mandate these bands is really starting next year where what is it 20 of the new vehicles sold
00:01:02.760have to be electric and then you'll see tightening restrictions over the years until 2035 where it's
00:01:08.040just a ban on new gas and diesel vehicles right and like look the federal government in ottawa
00:01:13.100does a whole bunch of crazy things this might be the most ridiculous thing that they've hatched up
00:01:18.420I mean, this is absolutely bonkers. Okay. Like the costs of this are going to be outrageous. Like number one, where does the government, where do these politicians get off telling you what type of car that you can drive? Okay. Number one, number two, if you're looking at the dollars and cents, beep, boop, beep, boop. This is nuts. Okay. Like one report showed that Canada's electric vehicle transition could cost up to $300 billion.
00:01:42.880dollars so you're looking at tens of billions if not hundreds of billions of dollars cost
00:01:47.900and like where are we going to get the uh the electricity the power requirements for this
00:01:52.520well look i think every canadian right now if you set aside the personal freedom issue which is just
00:01:57.220an absolutely huge issue you have to be asking yourself like how much is your tax and power bill
00:02:02.540going to go up to pay for all the subsidies infrastructure transmission lines charging
00:02:08.100stations for this absolute boondoggle. Yeah, it's a huge thing. And that report that Franco
00:02:13.740just mentioned, guys, this was not from some kind of far flung out there group. It was commissioned
00:02:19.100by the federal government. Like it is on the federal government's website. I think it's
00:02:23.980natural resources. I think they've also mirrored it over a transport Canada where they're estimating
00:02:29.100it's in the hundreds of billions of dollars with the B. And the reason for that is largely what
00:02:34.600Franco just pointed out. It's where are we getting the juice from? Where are we going to build all
00:02:39.660these transmission stations? Like picture all the different gas stations you see, like in your own
00:02:44.560hometown. Imagine all of those having to become like plug-in stations. Like we do not have the cash for this.
