  • Not an SUV or a crossover. I want a compact car like a Civic or a Corolla. Like a VW e-Golf, or the Ford Focus EV, but that’s as affordable as a standard compact car with a good range.

    Hydrogen fuel cells would be a great alternative to electric batteries, and you can refuel in minutes. Or if you’re worried about the hydrogen, how about solid state batteries that allow fast charging to 80% in minutes and are much safer? What’s the hold up? Are they just trying to get rid of their existing battery stock?









  • So the Conservatives were doing identity politics, not the NDP.

    The NDP are well aware of the wealth gap and the class divide. They’ve been fighting for not only eliminating the gaps in the rights and freedoms of certain groups, as it should, but also fighting to make sure the wealthiest Canadians pay their fair share. That companies that profited from the pandemic pay a windfall tax, that we tackle the housing crisis with new ideas, and they introduced bills to improve on the coverage of healthcare. But these ideas were not popular with the Liberals or especially the Conservatives. They only managed to pass a couple by making compromises with the Liberals since they were a minority government.



  • I feel like they weren’t given enough attention by the media which concentrated on Poilievre, Carney and Trump because it brings in clicks and views. Jagmeet should have been more aggressive, though, to get more attention. That didn’t help them either.

    During the debates, they didn’t have a lot of time to express themselves but I felt Jagmeet hit the nail on the head every time he was allowed to speak. They denounced the genocide in Gaza and called for Canada to put pressure to stop it, they brought forward new ideas to tackle the housing crisis, they wanted to tackle the increasing costs of living, improve on universal healthcare, etc. And also during the last government, near the end of the pandemic and the sudden double digit inflation and grocery store record profits, the NDP were the only ones to talk about a windfall tax. They also were the only ones that talked about having a tax for the wealthiest of Canadians.

    But either nobody listens, or people forget, or maybe it’s this fucking constant bombardment of crazy news that makes people have short attention spans or something. I dunno.
