So, signing of treaties isn't about setting an example it's about living up to your end
And what will that end be? We are great on grand gestures.
Trudeau just announced there will be no sales of ICE cars after 2035. A grand gesture but what is he doing to make them actually usable? Charging facilities are a dogs breakfast of systems, some private, some public, some accessible to everyone, others only to certain individuals, organizations or brands. No national standards like we have for simple gas pumps. No national building or retrofitting standards for home charging, particularly for multi family dwellings like condos and a patchwork of provincial and municipal standards. No accommodation for people who have no off street parking with charging capability. He is talking about another 600 million to provide incentives to buy EV's but if they gave 5K to everyone to replace one of the over 22 million light duty vehicles registered in Canada, the bill would be 110 billion. It all sounds really great though.
