According to Politico, Mark Carney is under intense pressure.
Auto Manufacturers want to get rid of the electric vehicle mandate. They simply refuse to sell more small electric cars in Canada, claiming it’s impossible / unprofitable.
They also say Donald Trump is now President of the United States. Climate Change is no longer an american concern. The political climate in the United States has changed and Canada should follow the US, whether it likes or not.

Well put, cities and transportation should be designed for all ages of people and easy to get around.
All to often people forget when you get older you will loose access to a car. This leave with with limited options in how to leave your home. Similarly if you are young, you don’t have access to a car and are at the whims of mom and dad driving you around.
Cars either electric or ICE are not what we should design cities around. We need transit, and cities that allow independence at all age groups.
I have seen to many older folks complaining about independence and feeling like they lost it especially when they get too old to drive.
