Juno News - The feds are kicking off their gas car ban next year with a 20% EV sales mandate

In this episode, we talk about the Trudeau government's plan to ban new gas and diesel powered vehicles in Canada by 2035, and why it's a massive, expensive boondoggle. Plus, we take on Ontario's premier, Doug Ford.

00:00:00.000 And 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.

00:00:12.100 Now, for some folks, they're like, oh, that's only happening in 10 years or so, or that was a Trudeau thing.

00:00:18.000 Like, no, no, no, no, no.

00:00:19.440 You know, these restrictions are kicking in very soon.

00:00:21.820 They're going to start tightening the belt on everybody.

00:00:23.800 also as far as we can tell carney's still going full steam ahead with trudeau's crazy plan to

00:00:29.960 ban the sale of gas and diesel powered vehicles and force people to purchase battery powered

00:00:35.000 vehicles instead uh where do we stand on this like what kind of money are we spending federally

00:00:41.040 i wanted to take on ontario premier doug ford in a minute here but just give us a bit of a

00:00:45.860 national overview as far as this is concerned so far well no it looks like the government is still

00:00:50.920 going forward with its plans to ban new gas and diesel vehicles by 2035 right but like actually

00:00:56.960 the mandate these bands is really starting next year where what is it 20 of the new vehicles sold

00:01:02.760 have to be electric and then you'll see tightening restrictions over the years until 2035 where it's

00:01:08.040 just a ban on new gas and diesel vehicles right and like look the federal government in ottawa

00:01:13.100 does a whole bunch of crazy things this might be the most ridiculous thing that they've hatched up 0.91

00:01:18.420 I 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. 0.96

00:01:42.880 dollars so you're looking at tens of billions if not hundreds of billions of dollars cost

00:01:47.900 and like where are we going to get the uh the electricity the power requirements for this

00:01:52.520 well look i think every canadian right now if you set aside the personal freedom issue which is just

00:01:57.220 an absolutely huge issue you have to be asking yourself like how much is your tax and power bill

00:02:02.540 going to go up to pay for all the subsidies infrastructure transmission lines charging

00:02:08.100 stations for this absolute boondoggle. Yeah, it's a huge thing. And that report that Franco

00:02:13.740 just mentioned, guys, this was not from some kind of far flung out there group. It was commissioned

00:02:19.100 by the federal government. Like it is on the federal government's website. I think it's

00:02:23.980 natural resources. I think they've also mirrored it over a transport Canada where they're estimating

00:02:29.100 it's in the hundreds of billions of dollars with the B. And the reason for that is largely what

00:02:34.600 Franco just pointed out. It's where are we getting the juice from? Where are we going to build all

00:02:39.660 these transmission stations? Like picture all the different gas stations you see, like in your own

00:02:44.560 hometown. Imagine all of those having to become like plug-in stations. Like we do not have the cash for this.
