Exactly Mëds…. We need leaders not polifuckingticians

Why not partner with one (or more) of VW, Hyundai, GM, or Rivian, and pour into their development and manufacture shit here? Sure, China looks to dominate, but why not compete with them instead of getting in bed with a country that wants to use their state ownership of corporation to create in-roads and dominate our political sphere?

Who is "we" in this context Mëds? Is it our government? Or a private company?

If I may….

Government opens the doors allows development without strangling constricted permit requirements. Then private in conjunction with an experienced EV company..

Fuck government!

New production/assembly is going to the US South and Mexico due to lower labour costs. The government is going to have to do more that just relax permitting requirements. This is what trade deals are for and we would need to give something up.

Promoting Canada as an R&D centre is a bit more complicated. Long term I think we need to keep funding education, subsidise R&D at the university level, and maybe scoop up international talent that the US is discouraging with their immigration policies.

Chinese (and other foreign) purchases of real-estate, coupled with restrictive permitting and asinine treaty concessions (both government areas of responsibility) are the primary drivers of our ridiculous costs of housing (and living, cough cough, farm quotas, cough, supply chain) which necessitates higher wages and drives private costs.

As rats so astutely intimates…..

Fuck government.

Change out the asshat Liberals and that way of doing things, and start making Canada something worthwhile again.




And, no, I don’t think PP and his Cons are the answer, but at least a step in the right direction.

My "we" is a government regulatory function.

If your 'we" is the same, then you're saying our government should be partnering with foreign companies??? Please no.
