In the first six months of this year, sales in Ontario were down more than 55 per cent from the same period in 2018

TORONTO — Sales of electric vehicles in Ontario have plummeted since the Progressive Conservative government cancelled a rebate last year, hampering progress toward a national target.

“It’s going to be challenging for the federal government to meet that target...then even more by 2030 ,” said Al Cormier of Electric Mobility Canada.B.C. is now at 10 per cent of sales, with Quebec close behind at seven per cent.

“We see that gap, or that differential, there until probably where you see cost parity in late next decade,” Nantais said.

I know let's take that $600+M the liberals bribe the media with and give it back to taxpayers to buy electric cars.

Glad I got mine while it was available. The gas savings alone cover 50% of my monthly car payment.

Easy to fix. Just make the rebate 100%. Green economics!

Mayor wants B.C. to institutionalize severely mental ill people who are homelessLeonard Krog said the government’s construction of modular homes that replaced a bulldozed tent city is helping but specialized care is needed This isn't as crazy as it sounds. There are people who need permanent, supportive housing that may need supervision. Just blue sky a little. the road to hell is paved with good intentions... Well that certainly sounds reasonable. Except for the FACT that governments have never shown any ability to provide effective, professional care for those institutionalized with serious mental issues. Never. Krog doesn't care about the outcome, as long as 'sick' people go away.
