Good luck with that.
Let me get this straight.
Libs subsidized the development of this GM elecric van. The vehicle tanked commercially and now the Libs want to hold GM accountable for that???
AND they're creating some kind of response group to develop a new EV van???

@GasPriceWizard, back on April 12th: I took this video of the excess and unsold Brightdrop EV vans a month ago to predict its demise thanks to Liberal NetZero hubris and folly
Only the lefties would want to keep making a product that nobody wants, just to be able to pretend they’re saving the planet.
Sparky Barbie is going to … “hold them to account” … for all the “support” they’ve been given? What the hell does that even mean? In real world terms? Was the Canadian support “conditional”? By contract? If not … then who or what is accountable for the marketplace rejecting these overpriced, underperforming white bricks sitting out in a graveyard of EV’s? What? GM didn’t sell them hard enough? Net Zeros Puhleeze.
Kenji, are you familiar with the infamous Bricklin?

Maybe they could manufacture buggies and buggy whips
I think itvwas Reagan who said that the most dreaded words you’ll ever hear is we’re from the Government, and we’re here to help.
Remove the wheels and put them into modular housing stock.
Liberals: don’t know how to win, and don’t know how to lose.
Perhaps if they called them something else?
How about Carneymobile?
Maybe porta potiies
Very curious: just today, I’ve started seeing ads for the BrightDrop van and Stellantis on YouTube – promoting the project as if it was a going concern.
It’s not clear who is paying for the ads. I looked up the campaign on the Google ad transparency center, but get no results (it’s amazing how often this happens with campaigns that might be controversial or originate from a govt.-funded agency – but that’s another matter).
I am supremely confident that Melanie Joly, with her deep roots in business, will solve this problem. In fact, has there ever been an economic problem that the government couldn’t solve with subsidies?
The only deep roots she has are her hair roots!
There is only one econmic problem the government needs to solve – government itself.
Failing upwards, ex-mayor Montreal to fed minister.
Lotsa hair, hand waving, word salad.
“We are creating a response group” so that workers “know we are fighting for them.” Typical liberal response – form a committee and “respond”, rather than “do”.
“Response group” sounds rather like an emotional support group. How about an industrial healing lodge, much more “Canadian”.
Maybe the vans could be turned over to Canada Post?
No.
I don’t want little mail I get, and any packages, burnt up.
Stellantis has a “new purpose” for that Brampton plant.
They are going to produce the most modern update vehicle in urban transport..
Think Emperor’s New Clothes” here.
A “Zero emissions”.
Hell it doesn’t even need a production line.
Easy to park.
Wonderful to behold.
Magnificent contours,glorious colours,ect,ect..
Free to every user.
Naturally,just like the naked emperor,this myth will not exist..
But it comes with a free Unicorn!
But our intellectuals will blather on ,citing its “fuel efficiency”,the relative cost of owning one,how much you can benefit and so forth..How you can “Save the Planet”.
Face it ,intellectual but idiot rule this land.
Net Zero,Climate Change AKA Catastrophic Anthropogenic Global Warming.
Fiat currency.
Investing in welfare.
National Debt.
Government run ..anything..
Maybe Hans Christian Anderson should be compulsory reading..
For every tax payer.
Or how about “The Little red Hen”?.
So where did the money go?
The Liberals are talking here,so cutting through their lies,which well connected Party Members made off with more borrowed money?.
Their actions point to systemic theft.
Their words of “Good intentions” are worthless noise.
Heh,I see a use for these devises..
A slight recovery of those wasted tax dollars.
MAID Mobiles.
A little rewiring and you have an instant electric chair.
Of course if our MP’s voted for this enormous waste of taxpayer money,they should be driving one.
Issue an Electric Van to every MP.
With live Cams..
If they refuse to drive one,this would be an instant tell.
Strap ’em in and throw the switch.
Justice requires this.
They can Mandate this junk for us,so let them show us the way..
And, bonus, it is also a mobile crematorium.
These vehicles were so bad, not even Canada Post would by them…
They look like some kids grade five science project.
Memes coming to life:
“The Stupid! It Burns!”
Even has it’s own poster girl shown……..
When you are dead, you don’t know that you are dead, it is only difficult for others.
The same thing happens when you are stupid.
Ironic justice will come if the Carnival tries to recoup the government money from GM and GM turns around and tells them all the money went into tooling and the building tells them “it’s all yours” and hands them the keys.
