After advocating for "regulation that mandates EV sales by a specific date" ('Value(s)' p.299), Mark Carney backs down on his own policies once again, deleting our EV sales mandate in service to the fossil fuel industry. He just never fails to disappoint.

Canada’s EV rebates returning, sales mandate ending

The federal government is launching a new electric vehicle consumer rebate, and replacing the contentious EV sales mandate with new emissions standards, as part of a new strategy for the Canadian auto sector.

"... when asked repeatedly those same officials [from the Carney gov't] could not say exactly what impact these measures will have on Canada’s overall emissions."

Mark Carney & his Liberals didn't even bother to do the math on what kind of damage this will do to our emissions targets - or if they did, they're not willing to tell us about it.
