1. Think that’s bad? Add to this post, showing Blubber Dougie’s vapid idea, to have Canada Post buy them!
   Can’t Fix Stupid!

   1. Here’s McTeague’s post with Fat Ford blathering away.

      1. Canada Post is already broke; now they want it immobile?

         1. Good one. I smiled when I read that.

   2. Blubber Dougie. I’m going to borrow that.

      1. It has been in common usage for a while. Carry on.

   3. All it takes is one of those batteries to run away. That is a total disaster waiting to happen.

   4. ” Money for Nothing and Chicks for Free”—- Liberals rendition—-” Money for Nothing and Vans for Free”
      Paid for by Western Canada!

2. BrightDrop.. Anyone with any exposure to Chinese marketing should be able to recognize, where these come from.

3. Hope there’s not any mice around there.

4. So, where did all the money REALLY go?

   1. Not a single “journalist” from our so-called “watchdog media” will ask this question. They never ever do.

   2. “So, where did all the money REALLY go?”
      Caymans????

      1. The Bermuda Triangle.

   3. All we know for sure is that wherever it went, one or more of the people who got cuts of it are or at least were Liberals in good standing.

5. 500 laid off with wage and benefits of say $100,000 each is $50M. Expect this clown to rush in with a Billion dollar recovery plan.
   If I remember right Ford has a sign business. What vehicles do they have? Excellent place to start Dougie, with your own money.

6. Interesting take on EVs. They aren’t less complicated, just differently complicated. And they’re more expensive, requiring a subsidy of $30,000 per car.

7. And just like with all communist-built vehicles … they are available in only ONE color, comrade.

   1. Oops! Another SNOPES “fact check” proves to be MOSTLY, err ENTIRELY FALSE.

      1. The world is 1,000 free deep in speculative loan money in all sorts of crazy technology.

         Why does a bunch of glorified reflectors to a water tank need Government loan guarantees?

         Because no one, world wide will touch it.

      2. well shoot kenji. l was about to interject that the molten salt scheme might work then you went and threw the number 737,000,000 at it.

8. EVs are very expensive…taxpayer dollars build the plant, taxpayers pay for the discount to sell them, taxpayers pay for Canada Post to buy them, taxpayers pay for the EI for the fired employees, taxpayers pay to mothball plant. Carney gets rich and Liberals get more stupid.

9. I respect the hell out of McTeague. One of the few former Liberals to recognize how destructive the party truly is. Stephen LeDrew is another one.

   Unfortunately it seems they’re shouting into a void. Canadians don’t want to hear it. They want to feel good about themselves and feel they’re better than those dumb-dumb redneck Yankees in some way. Voting Liberal gives them that. The country’s doomed to mediocrity and decline because Canadians simply don’t want anything better.

   1. lm autistic. we auties seek to understand how things work so we can cope.
      l lean on mimicry to navigate.
      sometimes the truth of a situation is itself baffling. like why liberals keep voting for the divisiveness and hate engendered by turdeau, pick a random low fruit to step into the role and lookie look. talk of a Liberal majority which if it happens marks Canaduh’s point of no return.
      ie the explanation that enough people invariably buy the propaganda that in this political plurality we have the LIEberals win most of the time.
      brrrrrhhhhh!!!

10. Battery cars, windy mills, solar panels, tampons in men’s washrooms, fags beating up women, skin politics, terrorists in the streets – all the latest from Progressive Liberals.

    Add the regulars like high inflation, mass immigration, brutal housing costs, violent crime, systemic corruption, a gelded military, tremendous government debt and deficit spending and massive public servant hiring and you get:
    The End.

    1. https://youtu.be/ErsGS3RQNLI?si=PelY0CNU2W6IHoMl

       Yeah … the end is bad

11. Can you say malinvestment?

12. Kick backs. It’s all about the kick backs.
    In each case a politician or politicians and senior bureaucrats became very wealthy at the expense of taxpayers. Some crony capitalists also did very well.

    Taxpayers? We just got screwed over and won’t do anything about it.

13. Every single one of them out there reducing carbon emissions every day.

    Looks just like the fields and fields of unsold EVs stockpiled in China. I wonder why.

14. As long as your? government.. Floats obscene amounts of money on these “industrial ad campaigns” .. Its never going to stop.. Welfare 101.. If we don’t take it somebody else will.. Saving the world yadda yadda yadda..

15. Again.. EVs work depending on what you are asking from them.. Delivery trucks that are supposed to make a profit is not one of them.. Subsidized to make them and subsidized to buy them and subsidized to drive them..

    To stop the North Pole from melting no less?.. How’s that progress report going?.. Crickets..
