Subsidising the ev industry is pure folly, wasting our money without our consent. Whoever wanted one of these pieces of crap already owns one, it is a near to zero growth industry and ”investing” in it is beyond stupid..just like slug fraud and his king, conman carnage.

Professor Ian Lee, political nonsense. Experience, no thank you.

EV market is dead. No infrastructure to support it. People do not want them.

Auto manufacturing is finished.

With billions of taxpayer money thrown at things that were never going to fly or work by the likes of OntArWeOwe's honourary Liberal Doug Fraud and his faithful companion frauds in Ottawa we can be reasonably assured that sooner than later the Auto Sector in Canada (Primarily Ontario with a bit in Quebec) is dead.

Worse ... These JERKS were warned that they were throwing good money after very bad things.

They may attempt to, in the greatest tradition of Monte Python, convince us that "This Parrot Is NOT Dead" but rest assured it is.

The worst part.. Our leaders and the bureaucrats that infest the un-civil Service contributed to that demise big time.

Too many Canadians have voted unwisely.

Remember what happened to the guy who Chose Unwisely in that movie.

That is where Canada's Automotive sector is going.

We have only ourselves to blame.

I accept no blame. I did my homework on Carny prior to the election and Canadian voters should have seen what was happening with the Liberals being in power for 10:years.

The question goes much further than the auto sector. Does Canada have a future?

Suggestion to Juno News. Put a link to your video on a rumble site instead of YouTube... for three reasons.

1. No one should be supporting the cancel culture of YouTube

2. It will help people discover Rumble.

3. They have their site organized so the video "pops up" and you can check your email on your phone while watching. YouTube shuts off as soon as you try to multitask...

Chinese electric cars pose a real security risk. A vehicle full of electronics connected to the internet and to the CCP. Not worthwhile.

Time for Canada to make its own car, maybe with engineering help from South Korea.

Adapt or die. Cars can be manufactured with robots. The auto sector unions have helped destroy the industry. China leads the world in industrial automation in all sectors and is the strength of of their economy. Have we learned nothing?

If Ian Lee says that Canada shouldn't be in the auto manufacturing business because of our population, we surely shouldn't be making Electric Vehicles. There are so many negative issues concerning owning and operating an EV in this cold country that it simply doesn't make any sense to manufacture them here. EV's cost more, they weigh more, they take 10 times longer to charge than refuelling a gas car, EV's require 5-6 times the mining than ICE cars and require many more rare different minerals. 500,000 lbs of rock has to be mined and processed by huge diesel machines to make 1 EV, which is the equivalent to the CO2 emissions of a gas or diesel car driven 60,000 to 70,000 MILES, this before it hits the car dealership. EV's would require a massive increase in grid power and infrastructure; the fact an gas vehicle with 80lbs of gas is equal to 1000lb battery to go the same distance thus gas is many times as efficient.

This was Trudope's idea and he sold Doug Ford into pouring billions of dollars into EV plants which may as well have been tossed into Lake Ontario. If only politicians would take advice from men like Ian Lee and others like Mark Mills who has compared the many technical and manufacturing problems with EV's vs more efficient conventional ICE vehicles.

This EV nonsense emerged as a result of the CO2 hoax; there is no question about this. The same can be said about solar and wind farm power, which is far more expensive and unreliable per kilowatt hour of power. The problem for Canada is Carney believes the hoax that CO2 will harm the planet, an agenda to eliminate fossil fuels that he has advocated for over a decade so it is doubtful he will change his mind about the EV mandate. This isn't about brain power and common sense this is about a world wide agenda of the globalists based on the CO2 hoax which will lead them to global governance.

Very hard to believe plant food (C O2) would harm the planet. Solar farms take away valuable land for grains and produce.

EV battery components require minerals collected using slave labour from Africa which is inhumane. The batteries aren’t safe combusting. Sorry Elon more tinkering required. :)

You are so right Annette; since 1979 when satellites have been able to photograph the earth, we have seen an incredible greening of the earth by about 20% in almost every country on the planet. This is because of increased atmospheric CO2. This greening is particularly noticeable on the fringes of deserts and the reason is that with more atmospheric CO2, plants require less water. Most Scientists suggest that the optimum amount of atmospheric CO2 is about 1000ppm but the planet will never get to that level because there isn't enough fossil fuels on the planet to get to that level. Greenhouses that grow plants usually pump 1000 to 1200 ppm of CO2 into their growing area for maximum growth and less water required.

Thanks for the details!! I appreciate the educated kind people explaining some details to me!

You are welcome ; actually there are many details missing about carbon dioxide; one detail that prevents it from doing any harm to the planet is that it is saturated in the atmosphere and has been since the beginning of time or at least what we know about it and temperature. In fact all greenhouse gasses are saturated; H2O, CO2, CH4 NO2 and O3. CO2 and H20 are well saturated CO2 in the 560 million year history of our planet CO2 has never been responsible for warming the planet .... ever. One of the reasons is that it is temperature that controls CO2 not the other way around. Most of what you hear on the TV about so called climate change is false. The reason for this is that most of the UN's Assessment reports accentuate computer models which aren't evidence, aren't scientific data in fact they are wild exaggerated guesses that have never been close to actual temperature balloon and satellite measurements. The reason that global warming was changed to "climate change is because after a warm period from 1978 to 1998, the warming stopped for about 17 years until about 2015, despite ever increasing CO2 emissions. It took the UNIPCC about 5 years to figure out that the warming had stopped so instead of investigating what caused this ( as it was believed that it was CO2 that was causing the increase) they just felt it appropriate to rename the catch phrase. There are sources that can change the temperature a 100 times as much as CO2. CO2 does so little warming that it is barely discernible and studies have proved this.

This whole issue has been a hoax and the UN has actually admitted as much but not in those words. They have used the hoax that "global warming caused by CO2 is an existential threat to the planet" Christiana Figueres, the former EXC. SEC. of the UNFCCC, stated that their goal was to change the economic system that has been used for the past 150 years; meaning Capitalism; the don't like it and they don't like freedom nor democracy.

for sure..and when the push for EVs ramped up a few years back, the environmental freaks showed aerial pics of the Oilsands massive destruction..but didn't bother show an aerial pic of a lithium mine..much worse.. But the EV proponents still ignore that fact..it really puts a damper on their agenda. Besides, with the problems they have with EVs on the ground..who's gonna sign up to take the first flight in an EV passenger airliner ???..

The US for decades would not allow foreign auto manufacturers to sell into their market unless they built them in the US. Could we not work the same deal in Canada?

Nope , We have governments on both sides of the border. If there was actual free trade, I mean no government involved, then One might have an auto industry. But not when You have governments dictating what You can and can not do !

I am sorry but I do not agree with Ian Lee regarding Mark carney…that man has no intention of leading us out of the wood because his sole intent is to demolish Canada to the extent that he has control…he is WEF and WHO all the way…after all he advised Justin Trudeau so it is not just on Sparkle Boy because he was just Mark’s puppet and screwed us happily…Carney knows exactly what he is doing to us…

Of course the auto industry has a future in this country. I may not look like what it used to, but it does have a future here, and it's up to us to determine what it will look like and how important it's going to be.

Your statement, “it's up to us “ sounds like Mr. Schwab’s statement, “The future is made by us”. Everything is in the qualities. Communist East Germany produced a car, a Trabant, very poor quality, and the butt of numerous jokes. In your opinion, are young Canadians concerned with producing quality items, run of the mill items, or with playing computer games?

Allan Clements's avatar

I'm a little confused by your comment. First it sounds like you're criticizing me for saying that the future of our auto industry is up to us. Then you go on to talk about a government based auto industry in East Germany. I never suggested that we should develop a government based auto industry, although I do believe there should be some quality standards established. Our auto industry is changing, for more than one reason. To name a couple 1/ Donald Trump is taking away our current contribution to the North American auto industry. 2/ The environment is dictating that we transition away from our reliance on fossil fuels, so the type of transportation is changing. This is a free country, and there are opportunities for those who are innovative enough to come up with ideas other than what we have now.

Except that, if it's a company from another country, it might be an idea for Canada to invest in the prospect of it setting up business here in Canada. That was we can benefit from the investment. It also makes more of an incentive for the company to set up here, rather than the US. I do agree though, it should not be a government run business.
