1. PM remarks in March 2021 about Canada’s investment in Lion. That ‘accelerator fund’ worked well…

   1. Why doesn’t Brookfield invest?

      1. By opening a plant in the Bahamas.

   2. “Multiple Lion Electric school buses have caught fire in the past year.”
      I find this statement most interesting.Was anyone hurt? Were a bunch of school kids left stranded on the side of a highway for hours?
      Quebec; land of boondoggles.You can bet the farm several well connected cronies made big money off the taxpayers.

      1. “I would have expected the private sector to be more involved.”

         Seriously??? The private sector doesn’t make a habit of “investing” in failing companies. You don’t know that???

2. $200M up in flames.

3. A $Billion worth of BS.

   1. I am a not a rich person. I have a comfortable retirement but am very aware that “inflation and taxes” could ruin my comfortable life. I cannot afford to make stupid decisions. Buying an electric vehicle qualifies as a “stupid” decision especially in Canada and on the Prairies in winter.

4. The anti-Oligarch.

5. We could have a list of lists where Canada’s world ranking falls.

   GDP per capita

   1. While a scroll unwound with a play on Marg Thatcher’s Conservative campaign, “Labour isn’t working”

      #Libranos, it’s not working
      #Libranos, it’s broken
      etc…
      Global business magazine “Campaign” referred to this as the best poster of the century
      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labour_Isn%27t_Working#

      Also, thanks to Paul Joseph Watson for the uplifting video of Manchester England, the Morrissey soundtrack helps bring it home for me.

      1. Yeah…spice zombie is a new one for me. Saw one – or something like one – not three blocks from my house yesterday.
         Had murder on his face as he kicked over garbage cans and staggered in the middle of the street.

6. Climate shenanigans.

7. Hahaha! Dumb Quebec.

   Why didn’t you do the smart thing and “invest” billions in EV battery plants like your neighbour blubber douggie did?

8. “There are currently around 1,175 Lion school buses still in operation out of the roughly 8,000 in circulation across the province, part of a Quebec subsidy program to eventually have 65% of all buses be electric. ”

   Is this poor writing, or are there really only 15% of the buses that are operational?

   1. That’s not a bug! It’s a feature!

9. Valuable dating tip for modern men:

10. Panic on the streets of London
    Panic on the streets of Birmingham
    Panic on the streets of Carlisle
    Hopes may rise on the Grasmere, but honey pie, you’re not safe here

    Burn Down the Disco
    Hang the bloody DJ … the UniParty government who’ve engineered this shithole multiculture.

    On the Leeds side-streets that you slip down
    Provincial towns that you jog ‘round
    Hang the DJ, Hang the DJ, Hang the DJ

    Sorry to say, but Morrissey’s right. The only solution is to Hang the DJ’s who spin this shit into our lives.
