Your response was mixed in the quotes and I missed it.
There are no alternatives to gas and EV vehicles, besides horse and buggy. How do they adapt? How do they compete with other businesses globally in ie: the US. They can't, so yes they die.
So you’re saying we should have kept horse and buggy when the car came along?
If Canadian goods are more expensive, people won't buy them around the world. If Canadian businesses are less profitable, people around the world won't invest in them. This is isn't as easy as it seems.
I didn’t say it was easy. You’re arguing a straw man again.
It will be painful and take time... probably 2 decades plus to make the transition.
