500 million for electric vehicle production

It just doesn't end ....

And a billion for buying old hotels to convert them to housing...

The miracle of zero percent interest. When you can borrow at zero percent, even the most hare-brained schemes pencil out.

Most politicians are thinking they've died and gone heaven thanks to Covid. The cost of buying a vote is pretty much zero now.

Wouldn't this be considered a subsidy ...like the regular auto industry gets or the oil and gas industry receives. ?

If its not a problem to give 30 to 50 billion in subsidies to oil and gas, it shouldn't be a problem to give a few scraps to the electric car industry.

Pls show us where the oil industry has been given those kinds of subsidies, especially from a resource that contributed $600B back to confederation. I would say that was a pretty good investment if true. A 20:1 ROI.

How much will electric vehicles contribute? Exactly zero. In fact, it will lose money.

Which economy do you like ...the one we have now...... or the one where oil and gas are generating alot of jobs and the economy seemed healthy...

This electric vehicle subsidy is only to keep a few jobs....and eventually Ford will move them anyway...

It won't end at the 500 million to Ford....sell a bunch of EV and the whole electrical grid will need an update....

Traditional vehicle production will be back in Michigan thanks to Trump. Sorry ontario, maybe you can make some alternators for them or something.

Anything electric will be based out of Texas where Tesla is moving. Ford will be there buying up Telsa with our $500M. The govt should just buy Teslas overpriced stock. Would be a better return than this idiot scheme.

Exactly, without steady power from natural gas or nuclear power plants this scheme is As dead in the water as the power grid in mid winter will be in 95% of Canada .
