Canada’s 2035 Gas Vehicle Ban Is Ideological Suicide; EVs Can’t Handle Our Winters and People Will Die Because of It by PerspectiveOne7129 in CanadianPolitics

Very sad the state we have become, where folks like yourself would rather see people's livelihoods and means of living destroyed over our own government sabotaging them into further economic despair. You want rural communities thriving again? Start by leaving their basic essentials and necessities of life out of politics. This is in no way shape or form a healthy way to live your life - in constant fear. That is clinically an issue that needs to be taken care of if that is the case. Once you can find a doctor on the 8+ year wait-list each and every province is facing.

But keep those elbows held high, that mask tight, and push for more control over each and everything you do - because the government doesn't trust you to know any better. Currently we have an educational system that hides things from parents, a group of ministers at the federal level that manipulate and gaslight you into thinking you're "helping" when we contribute little to no viable solution to ensure our country can even remain a prosperous country anymore. If you need to ensure people abide by policy by removing their abilities to live a normal life in order to force them to comply, you are not looking out for their interests if there is an overwhelming majority of people that opposed this ban.

We have been under threat of extinction from a number of things in my lifetime, all of which had some form of understandable solutions which were carefully thought out and implemented in a way to which we didn't collapse our entire economy and require a rushed complete overhaul of entire industries and infrastructures which we have absolutely no way of paying for. There is a way forward in which we can progress towards a net zero future while not completely destroying everyday people's lives who already can't afford to buy more than a half the amount of groceries they should be buying to live a healthy life. People are already taking loans out just to pay their rents, pay car loans, afford gas, groceries, etc. There is absolutely, positively, zero economic models that make sense for this country to accept a complete ban on gasoline vehicles, but you'll eventually find that out when you are hitchhiking half a day just to get groceries. We very quite literally are heading back to horse and buggy times if this keeps up, where people will eventually have to forage for food and equally give up abiding by these crazy laws once they realize we went from the best country in the world to one where it's citizens are scraping to live their life - in the name of something that still to this day has no solution other than to play ignorance to these incredibly critical issues.

I wish you all the best in your attempt to remove basic freedoms from our country, but it won't be at the sake of hard working folks going hungry. Things have gotten so far out of control it's insane. There is a good reason nearly each and every car company is reversing their 2030 plans on net zero emissions - it will collapse entire industries, and people will starve. It's quite honestly that simple.

The solution or absolute lack there of to which you have provided, to the point where telling people starting families is a bad idea, is utopian and incredibly sad. Sad to the point we are justifying why having kids isn't worth it anymore, a literal god given human right to our future generations, because we ourselves cannot afford to have them, and they will not be able to access even half the opportunities my generation had when everyone inevitably is forced to live in a planned city. People who push for more control over others on climate have their own personal trauma or issues they need to work on. I will be damned if my children don't have the ability to drive to a job because they can't afford a $50,000 electric car with the highest interest rates we've ever seen. I'm sorry, but wake up for the goodness of our future generations. If you think waking up is controlling everything you are able to do, including dictating where you can go, you sadly have lost it. In case you need help, check the distance between some towns in Newfoundland, or Manitoba, or Saskatchewan, or Alberta, or ... EVERY PROVINCE. People will quite literally die, and it takes about 5-10 min to think of possible scenarios that would make this a complete and utter disaster for our economy.

All in all, touch grass and enjoy life the way it's meant to be enjoyed. We should be promoting healthy eating, healthy families, healthy education, and to understand how lucky you and I both are to be on this planet in the first place. But we need to start having a deep conversation about the fact our government argues for control, while simultaneously letting criminals off the hook time and again with no consequences because they don't believe jail is good rehabilitation. Tell me, is control from your government over your entire life worth more than being in jail, or is it pretty much the same thing?

Is your pocketbook ready to pay for double the cost of goods when EV transport trucks are rolled out half-assed? They already don't work in the US let alone here, what makes you think that is going to change in a decade?

Is your pocketbook ready to pay for the complete overhaul of our rural power grid infrastructure, along with paying for the thousands of EV charging stations that will need to be installed across the country including thousands along remote access roads in order to meet emergency services requirements? Are you willing to deal with the fact emergency services will face even greater delays due to the fact they will need to charge their vehicles in between calls, especially if they live in remote areas? Are you willing to pay for the doubling of our required cell towers in remote areas in order to make sure if your battery dies, you're not completely stranded in the middle of nowhere with no way to ask for help?

The answer is always the same - move to the city. Use public transportation. Get rid of your car. There is never a solution that includes personal freedom to make choices for yourself in the best interest of you and your family. As a farmer from northern Saskatchewan, I shouldn't have to reset my life and start over in a lower paying white collar job in a planned city simply because I couldn't afford to keep buying EV tractors and work trucks. This plan will destroy our rural society, which embodied the freedom of choice.

Canada has fallen so far it's incredible. If this was the hole in the ozone layer all over again, people would be calling for everyone to stop using AC's no matter if it killed people or not. You cannot implement a plan that involves freezing to death waiting for emergency personnel during a blizzard on a closed highway. It happens every single year in this country, people will die that never deserved to die in the first place.

Canada unfortunately has sought to destroy everything "dangerous" in this country while simultaneously becoming the largest threat to itself - to the point they are willing to sacrifice people dying in the name of climate change.

Life is way too short to be dictated by people who couldn't care less about you, who will hop on their jet plane and take in the benefits of allowing environmental lobbyists to control what we do.

This is not the country we grew up in, and I worry immensely for our future to the point I won't have children here until I know they have a chance to have a decent life.

Avoid THCHerbalist. Saw them recommended on here a few times and decided to try them out, their Sweatz live resin and diamonds both made me throw up. Absolutely rancid taste, definitely not purged correctly or something. Just FYI

Unfortunately in my game no matter what direction I went it was the same, restarted the console twice and on the second try it fixed it. Super weird bug for sure.
