Electric vehicles grabbed a much bigger share of the global car market last year as sales more than doubled despite turbulent economic conditions and a severe shortage of computer chips.

Electric vehicles

Overall passenger vehicle sales remain depressed, with just under 72 million rolling off dealer lots worldwide after the pandemic caused a shortage of computer chips that forced many automakers to temporarily close plants.

I think it’s time to rethink/redesign our health care model. We need to include more privatization. Obviously the universal system isn’t cutting it. We can do better and we need to do better. Not against universal health care but our current model is not working Decades of defunding at both federal and provincial levels left healthcare poor even before the pandemic. Tax breaks for millionaires and billionaires that is so cool 😒 It’s so easy to claim that the woes felt across the country are not due to insane bureaucratic meddling and ineptitude but are actually because of the pandemic.
