Canada government to ban combustion powered vehicle

[BOHICA]

Canada’s federal government will pass a new regulation requiring all new vehicles sold in the country by 2035 to be zero-emission cars. The new legislation considers zero-emission cars to include battery-electric, hydrogen, and plug-in electric vehicles.

This will get tossed with Trudeau.

Your post lacks the shock , awe and outrage that the OP desires. 

We should all scream foul right now!!!!!

I thought we had some clowns running our government, but then I watch a half hour of the Canadian parliament in session, and I realize we don't have it so bad.

I bet you didn't see gay men fucking.

Dude you have it soooooo much worse, to think otherwise is just deflecting.

Your government is pure evil.

Well, Democrats.  They'll be gone next election, unless they steal another one.  I doubt they'll get away with it again.

I'll take the taxes I pay and what I get all day long compared to the ass raping you guys get. Oh, and your food sucks too.   Quebec trails and their women is about the only appeal in the god forsaken place.  BC is nice in spots too.  We have more cool shit to do and see by an order of magnitudes

One confronted it, exposed it, and is fighting to eliminate it.  And you dingleberries shit on him every chance you get.

So back to the OP - does this mean they will no longer allow new ICE vehicles to be sold in Canada after 2035?  I really hope I live long enough to see one of these rules come to fruition.

Then the first place it should start is in Canada's government.  A government motorcade of Tesla's.  Canada security intelligence on electric bikes.  Charge stations mostly likely run by diesel generators.  ⛽️

The budget was going to balance itself with that moron as well.

I'm going to go burn some styrofoam in protest.

Charles Milliken: The CARS Act is about more than cars

Charles C. Milliken

Sun, December 17, 2023 at 2:31 AM CST·3 min read

The House of Representatives, in a bipartisan vote, recently passed the Choice in Automobile Retail Sales Act (CARS) blocking the EPA from imposing regulations drastically restricting tailpipe emissions of carbon dioxide. The EPA has proposed these rules in furtherance, naturally, of the same agenda of global warming alarmism now around for over half a century.

Lest you have forgotten, the earth has warmed a bit over the past couple of centuries. ( Despite that, we seem to be surviving.) Human beings using hydrocarbons are responsible for this. Cars use a lot of hydrocarbons. The EPA doesn’t yet have the guts to ban cars, (give them time), so the next best thing is to make hydrocarbon-powered cars all but unavailable, leaving only EVs. Presto. No carbon dioxide coming out of a tailpipe because there is no tailpipe. We’re saved!

 

 

Charles Milliken

Simple, isn’t it? What could be wrong with such impeccable logic? Let’s leave out, for the sake of argument, the dubious notion of human beings being the chief cause of global warming. What impact will these regulations have on the global supply of carbon dioxide? Supporters of the bill say 10 billion tons of carbon emissions will be saved over a five-year span — the language is ambiguous, but I guess that’s what is meant.

To put that in perspective, the U.S. emits about 5 billion tons a year. Of that, about 17% comes from light-duty vehicles, according to the EPA. That yields less than a billion tons a year, so how this regulation will save twice the total emissions from all the cars ever made and still on the road eludes me. Perhaps I have misinterpreted something along the way.

We all know, don’t we, that global warming is going to end civilization as we live it within the next generation or two, so how will this impact the looming disaster? Worldwide, the U.S. emits around 14% of global carbon emissions, and falling fast. Our absolute emissions have fallen around 20% over the past two decades. Continuing with this boring math exercise, a 17% reduction (which is clearly nonsense) of our 14% total yields about 2% of annual global carbon emissions. Does anyone think this is going to have any significant impact on the supposed catastrophes rapidly approaching your front door?

Continuing this exercise in logic, or common sense, now that all cars are electric cars, what is the source of the power they run on? Turns out about 60% of electricity generated in the U.S. is hydrocarbon-based, with the rest roughly equally divided between nuclear and renewables. So, chemistry and physics being what they are, emissions are removed from tailpipes with 60% moved to smokestacks. All things being equal, we are now down to a net worldwide reduction of 0.8%, more or less the additional amount China alone pumps into the atmosphere each year. India is coming up fast in the carbon emissions derby, probably passing the U.S. within 10 years, and Indonesia is rapidly becoming significant.

Obviously, this EPA proposal is absurd on its face as having any material effect on global warming. Then there are the myriad practical problems with EVs which explains why they are only toys for wealthy environmentalists. Range. Inconvenience. Cost. How are we going to pay for highway maintenance when there are no more revenues from gasoline taxes?

I realize climate change is a religion for the true believers, thus tossing facts and logic out the window. Cars are only one target of our hydrocarbon usage. I hope you’ve not gotten attached to your gas stove. But surely there must be a few at the EPA who know this whole exercise is ludicrous, so why do it? I guess control of the population to utopian ends is as good an explanation as any. Clearly, EVs aren’t the end game. Public transportation is. One Democrat speaking against this bill noted how it would hamstring the EPA in making decisions.

To which I can only say “Amen."

Styrofoam more melts then burns.  Lots of air and such in styrofoam.  Might I suggest burning a pile of tires in protest.  More tires you can come up with the bigger the middle finger you can show them.

Goes in the outdoor boiler.

Dang near everything combusts in that mofo.

I detest plastics going to the oceans so I’m a closet greenie!!

Works good if you mix styrofoam with diesel

Diesel will burn anything.  But tires is what needs to be burnt if you want to make a statement.
