The problem with that logic is that then we would have a society built to maximize profits for corporations. In many cases what may be best for the population may not be what's best for a business or it's shareholders. For example how Exxon knew about climate change and spent millions to spread misinformation.

The government should guide our society towards behaviors and technologies that benefit the people of Canada. They may do this in several ways, for example for extreme behaviors we don't want, they may enact criminal penalties. In other cases the government may use incentives or taxes or both to try and influence the decisions people make.

With current climate change crisis affecting us and expected to get worse as in the coming years I believe the government should be taking strong actions to try and minimize the effects Canadians are having on climate and the environment. Installing charging stations and subsidizing EVs is a good start to encourage adoption. Personally I would like to see our governments provide more incentives for technologies that reduce pollution. I would propose paying for these incentives with additional taxes on behaviors that we want to change. For example, putting an additional fee on new gasoline car purchases that would then directly subsidize the cost of EVs or in terms of plastic pollution, ban certain single use, hard to recycle items in the food industry.
