I was interested in finding out why Ford signed such a good contract with Canadian autoworkers. What I found wasn’t what I expected. But I do think it we can have something like a win-win if the country brings in Chinese EVs. Look at the numbers in my article and tell me what you think—.

Electric golf carts should be legalized in most major cities like Toronto. It’s good enough for the city, to commute and get groceries.
For rural areas in Canada people need very fuel efficient transport. Encourage people to use motorcycles in good weather. Allow Kei trucks.
Also for rural kids: Sweden: agricultural vehicles allows kids 15 and older to drive cars without a proper driver’s licence, as long as the vehicle has been altered to have a maximum speed of 30 kilometres per hour. France: sans permis cars are not allowed to go faster than 45 km/h, but can be driven by anyone with a license.
Those are a lot of good, immediate solutions. I wish we weren’t so locked in with the big car manufacturers and unions and “business”.
