Despite plummeting consumer demand for electric vehicles, the Liberal government is doubling down on corporate welfare for the EV industry, say the Conservatives.
The Fraser Insitute Fall 2025 report captions "The average Canadian family spent
42% of their income on taxes last year ... housing costs for the average family are
up 25% since 2020, food costs are up 18%, and the Consumer Price Index (the cost of a fixed basket of goods and services) is up 17.4% ... the tax bite for the average family is 42% of its income—more than it spends on food, housing, and clothing combined!"
Toss in shrinking full time jobs market, layoffs across multiple sectors and low paying part time job creation, who can afford the outlay for a EV. Then there is the preventive maintenance costs with EV mechanic rates possibly higher than ICE rates.
Green policies are retarded. Anyone who believes that the juice is worth the squeeze is also retarded.
