Gullible Europe has signed the death warrant for its own car industry

Despite flecks of optimism, the West has underestimated China’s long game

The auto industry gathers for its annual summit on Tuesday, hosted by trade group the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT). But for some, the industry isn’t waving, but drowning.

“I don’t see a way back,” reckons Nick Molden, chief executive of Emissions Analytics and an honorary senior research fellow at Imperial College. “It’ s now about the funeral and the wake”.

The Government has made its mind up, he thinks – it’s not going to protect the UK auto industry from cheap Chinese auto imports, or abandon the all-electric dogma, and so the industry must deal with it.

GUNTER: Carney Liberals stubbornly holding onto EV lost cause

This week, the Carney Liberals announced they had no intention of changing the Trudeau government’s planned ban on gasoline-powered cars, trucks and vans beginning next year. Whether you want an EV, you’ll be forced to buy one if you buy any new vehicle by 2035.

Carbon Tax and the Green Deal: The EU’s Climate Heist Is Underway

The EU cloaks supranational tax increases in green.

On the hunt for fresh sources of cash, the European Commission has zeroed in on households and motorists. A planned expansion of the EU’s carbon pricing scheme to include home heating and transportation fuels is set to plug Brussels’ gaping budget deficit — at the expense of its citizens. What we are witnessing is a fiscal smash-and-grab dressed up in green.

Small wonder ‘Policy for Profit Carney’ is Gung Ho to hook up with these EU Eco-scammers.

McTEAGUE: Carney’s exercise in stupidity

This past Tuesday, the Conservative Party put forward a motion in parliament calling on the Liberal government to immediately end their ban on gas-and-diesel driven Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) vehicles, which will take full effect in 2035.

Arguing for the motion, Melissa Lantsman rightly said, “Nobody is denying people the choice to drive an electric car. There is nothing wrong with that. What is wrong is the government mandating that everybody drive an electric car.”

Unfortunately for all of us, MPs voted 194-141 to keep the EV mandate in place.

Canada’s EV market was already in trouble. Tariffs made it worse, Ontario workers say

Bob Pulham recalls the optimism in the air when General Motors began producing electric vans in Ingersoll, Ont., in late 2022.

As the first BrightDrop commercial van rolled off the line at the CAMI Assembly plant, GM executives, union leaders and former prime minister Justin Trudeau touted it as a major milestone for electric vehicle production in Canada.

Pulham, a Unifor representative at the plant, remembers talk of increasing shifts and hiring more people to produce 50,000 such delivery vans annually by 2025.

Tories accuse PM of thinking about Brookfield’s ‘bottom line’ with EV mandate

OTTAWA — While Canada prepares to launch a decade-long ban on the sale of new gas-powered vehicles next year, the Conservatives are accusing the PM of having more on his mind than climate change.

During question period on Wednesday, Opposition Leader Andrew Scheer accused Prime Minister Mark Carney of thinking more about the bottom line of his former employer in allowing his government to go ahead with the contentious Justin Trudeau-era policy.

Carney is a crook.

Another wheel has just flown off the EV dream

They will save the planet, they are quieter, they will rebuild local industries, and they even come with attractive tax breaks. Re-wind a couple of years, and there were plenty of reasons for buying a shiny new Tesla or Polestar electric vehicle instead of an old-fashioned, high-pollution, petrol or diesel car.

And yet, one by one, all those arguments have been punctured. They won’t help the environment as much as we think, they are mostly made in China, the tax breaks are gone, and now we learn that they are more likely to break down as well.

If you were not already worried enough about where the heck you might be able to recharge your electric car during a long drive over the summer, now there is something else to fret about as well.

But they told us EV’s won’t need much repair!

New EV rebate scam in the works, environment minister says

OTTAWA — Environment Minister Julie Dabrusin tells The Canadian Press the government will bring back a consumer rebate program to help make electric vehicles more affordable.

The federal government’s former rebate program for electric vehicles, launched in 2019, was so popular it ran out of funding, leading Ottawa to pause it earlier this year.

The stars are aligned: now Canada must deliver on its natural resources

For too long, Canada has been a modest contributor on the global economic stage. But modesty is no longer a virtue in a world demanding bold leadership. While on the campaign trail, Prime Minister Mark Carney promised to make Canada both the strongest economy in the G7 and an energy superpower. That ambitious goal is not only necessary, it is also within reach—if we are willing to unleash the full potential of Canada’s natural resources sector, including responsibly expanding our energy and critical minerals industries.

Not if Net-Zero Carney has his way.

A $6.6 billion climate boondoggle

One of the least controversial and most effective ways to address climate change is to adapt to it.

The other strategy — mitigation — is a long-term program that will have no discernible effect on the frequency of severe weather for decades, and is reliant on global action rather than initiatives by Canada alone.

This is the scam Carney loves most.

Electric vehicle sales plunge 23% as rebates end

Electric vehicle sales in Canada have fallen sharply after federal and provincial governments cut rebate programs, according to new figures from Statistics Canada.

Blacklock’s Reporter says the first quarter of 2025 saw the steepest drop in zero-emission vehicle sales since pandemic lockdowns.

Trump Overturns California’s Authoritarian Ban On Gas Cars

President Donald Trump overturned California’s authoritarian ban on gas-powered vehicles on Thursday, signing a resolution approved by Congress last month.

California became the first state in the nation to pursue a phase-out of gas-powered cars, attempting to halt all new sales by 2035 and effectively force its citizens to purchase electric vehicles. After Trump’s move, Gov. Gavin Newsom, D-Calif., who is currently letting Los Angeles burn by not responding to riots there, signed a reciprocal order reaffirming the ban, while Rob Bonta, the state’s far-left attorney general, filed a lawsuit against the move.

Canada’s love affair with EVs has stalled, putting Ottawa’s mandate in doubt

The market share for electric vehicles tumbled in the first quarter of the year to the lowest level since early 2023, new numbers show, raising doubts about the federal government’s aggressive targets for battery-powered vehicles.

Zero-emission vehicles accounted for just 8.7 per cent of all new vehicle registrations in the first quarter, down sharply from 18.3 per cent in the fourth quarter of 2024, according to Statistics Canada.

Joly says the Libs intend to revive the subsidy for rich people to buy EV’s.

Carney and pals are likely heavily vested in the green-scam to liberate your money for their gain.

Liberals are still planning to ban gas-powered cars

Although the Carney government may have dispensed with the wildly unpopular consumer carbon tax, Environment Minister Julie Dabrusin confirmed this week that they’re staying the course on an environmental policy that’s almost as controversial.

In the House of Commons on Monday, Dabrusin said there would be no changes to a Trudeau-era plan to ban the sale of gas-powered cars by 2035.

‘Climate Change’: Grift of the Century, Part III

Despite President Donald Trump’s withdrawal from the Paris Agreement on climate change, the World Economic Forum (WEF) and UN executives and bureaucrats doubled down this year at the poorly attended WEF gathering in Davos — could world leaders possibly be starting to catch on? — and proclaimed that nothing can stop their radical transformation of the world in the name of “climate change.”

“We are already collaborating at a scale where no one can stop; not one country, not one leader making a decision, because it’s just the right thing to do globally,” announced Damilola Ogunbiyi, CEO and Special Representative of the UN Secretary-General for Sustainable Energy for All.
