Carney BACKS DOWN on EV mandate?
Guest host Kris Sims talks to Dan McTeague about Carney blinking on EV quotas, the fallout for Canada’s auto industry, and why taxpayers must keep the pressure on
On today’s episode of The Candice Malcolm Show, guest host Kris Sims is joined by Dan McTeague, President of Canadians for Affordable Energy, to break down a major policy reversal from Prime Minister Mark Carney.
Carney has announced his government will delay the electric vehicle sales quota that was set to force dealerships to make 20% of all new car sales battery-powered by 2026. The controversial mandate would have driven up costs, restricted consumer choice, and left dealers stuck with unsold stock. After months of pushback from taxpayers, industry, and ordinary Canadians, Carney has blinked — but only partially.

As Kris and Dan explain, the delay is a tactical retreat, not a victory. EV demand is collapsing without subsidies, Canada’s grid cannot support mass electrification, and the uncertainty continues to hurt dealers and investors. Meanwhile, Ottawa’s broader climate agenda — including the industrial carbon tax, clean fuel standard, and production caps — still threaten jobs and affordability across the country.
Kris and Dan dig into why the mandate was doomed from the start, how public pressure forced Carney’s hand, and what Canadians must do to ensure the policy is scrapped completely.
Good news for now for Canadians and the Auto industry. We have to continue letting this Liberal government that they work for Canadians and we want a say in what we own and drive.
Please add to your commentary with ……you can’t get EV vehicles as there is no supply , they are still way way too expensive and they are inefficient with huge heavy batteries that only go 400 km on a charge!!!!
Do not sit there and be abused by politicians and Their Oligarch bosses as a bankrupt Canadian consumer being pushed around having nonsense mandates forced upon us !!!!!
Fight back against the clown captain carnage !!!!
