Letters, March 10, 2024: ‘It appears EVs are not the answer’

Article content

Our federal government has invested billions for three battery plants. However, one wonders about EVs’ future seeing as car manufacturers are reducing EV production while even abandoning EVs and looking to hydrogen motor technology, along with hybrids that use more efficient combustible engines. I worry Canada’s investment could be a bust due to BMW saying goodbye to EVs and rolling out hydrogen-powered cars by 2025. The possibility of wasted tax dollars should be very troubling to tax weary Canadians. Eh!

Slow down

I read and hear politicians — both federal and provincial — pleading and demanding more funding for housing to be built at an outrageous speed. As you might know, build things too fast? It gets built with potential defects. What Canada needs is a slow down on immigration acceptance. Case closed.

Trudeau in trouble

The Liberals are 17 points behind the Conservatives. (Prime Minister Justin) Trudeau has lost votes in every category, including age and gender. As Canadians are suffering, the latest polls show 70% of Canadians across the country are against Trudeau raising his useless carbon tax in April. He has never met one emission target, but filled the Liberal coffers with our money and then gives it away to his Liberal insiders and Liberal friends. The majority of Canadians are demanding an election.

Sue government, sue us

Here is a question that should not sit well in anyone’s mind if you are a taxpayer in this country: Should any person or group have the right to sue the government? In reality, you are suing me and everyone else who pays taxes. Most of us will have had nothing to do with whatever they are suing us for, yet we will be forced to pay. Maybe, instead, make the people who were responsible be held accountable because the billions upon billions that we are forced to pay for ineptitude is breaking our backs (or should I say, our banks). At the very least we need a conversation about this.
