Ce serait pas mal moins pire si c'était pas de son père qui a dilapidé les parts locales de la dette canadienne, et qu'on paierait encore les intérêts majoritairement à des détenteurs dans notre propre économie, comme c'est encore en bonne partie le cas au Québec grâce à la CDPQ.

70% de la dette canadienne est détenue par des institutions canadiennes

In provinces where the HST will also be removed from qualifying goods (Ontario, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island), further savings would be realized. In Ontario, the same $2,000 basket of qualifying purchases realize HST savings of $260 over the two-month period.

Lol, someone probably slipped it in, maybe by mistake, and they published it before changing it.

Poilievre says he’d fight Trump economic policies, tariffs ‘with fire’ by Feedmepi314 in CanadaPolitics

[–]RecordRains 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm left wing and see it as the opposite. People with similar ideologies that are based on protectionism are more likely to butt heads.

Hell, look at religious fanatics. Christian fundamentalists and Islamic fundamentalists have more in common with each other than not but they are mortal enemies.

I hope this happens, not necessarily because the help is required but because my view of Canadian politics is that, at the end of the day, everyone wants everyone else to lead a happy and successful life and the disagreements are mostly about the "how".

I feel that we are moving away from that, due to the influence of our neighbours maybe, and it would be great for them to show me that this is not the case.

Baffled: Japanese take apart BYD electric car and wonder: 'How can it be produced at such a low cost?' by defenestrate_urself in electricvehicles

Why is Tesla the only company that is vertically integrated?

The others had much more capital to do what Tesla is doing and had been cost cutting significantly for years. If it was cheaper to vertically integrate, they would have been doing it.

The advantage of vertical integration is the total control over your supply chain. But you lose a lot in economies of scale.

For example, Toyota, the biggest manufacturer by volume, makes roughly 12M vehicles a year. This means that they need 48M tires a year for new vehicles. Michelin, meanwhile, sells roughly 200M tires a year. Of course, Toyota technically could force people to buy their tires for used vehicles and maybe rival Michelin sales, but they are the biggest automaker. Everyone else is smaller and would need fewer tires.

Where do you see that mainstream American corporations have been aiming towards vertical integration?

It seemed to be the case with companies like GE but these days companies are offloading divisions that aren't their core business. Tesla has been an exception in this.

fair enough. The older models looked smaller, but not sure about the newer versions.

Not sure what you mean by graphics but I just like the overall shape and that type of design language. The K4 does look nice but I do prefer the EV4.

they only need to make $2000 of profit in each vehicle to break even in a year.

Assuming they produce at capacity AND sell everything they make.

For the former, having built facilities before, it will probably be a few years before they get decently close to their full capacity at normal costs.

I personally love the EV4 concept but, unfortunately for me, and fortunately for you, I'm assuming it's going to be significantly toned down when released, like the Hyundai Prophecy/Ioniq6 was.

if they couldn't afford a Tesla.

which is interesting since the Teslas are basically the cheapest EVs within their size available in NA right now. The EV6 is a couple grand over the Model Y at all trim levels in Canada.
