EV DREAMING

Justin Trudeau’s EV goals should not based mostly on actuality. I’d guess half the folks dwelling in cities like Vancouver won’t have entry to dwelling charging, both as a result of they reside in flats, condominiums, solely have road parking or can’t have a charging station put in at their properties. I’d additionally guess that EVs might ultimately have the identical parkade parking restrictions as propane automobiles because of the battery fireplace threat, with much more folks pressured to park their EVs on the streets. So they are going to be depending on public charging stations.

I don’t know how lengthy he was there earlier than I arrived, however it’s attainable he was nonetheless there half-hour after I’d left, completed my purchasing and arrived at dwelling.

TRUDEAU AND TRUMP

Justin Trudeau is rather more much like Donald Trump than Pierre Poilievre is. Trudeau acts like he’s above the regulation and makes use of his energy to tamp down investigations into his many scandals. He abuses his privilege. He additionally insults those that don’t agree together with his means.

The decrease Trudeau is within the polls, the extra we hear about Trump and MAGA. Trudeau says he has our backs, however is afraid to make a severe, logical determination. He says issues that make you shake your head in wonderment. I say that we don’t belief a phrase he says.
