Trump may well reverse the regulatory demands for EVs and put the temporary death to Canada’s new battery plants.

All the EV building stuff is out of Trump's control. It's part of the Inflation Reduction Act authorized and funded by Congress. Unless that bill is amended or repealed. And in that case, our tax breaks and production subsidies are directly tied to the IRA, so they would expire automatically. That doesn't mean a death to the battery plants though. It's the way the industry is heading. It's probably a slowdown at worst.

I'm getting big 2011 Ignatieff/2018 Wynne vibes right now for the federal Liberals.

That's because so much Team Trudeau came from Team McGuinty and Team Wynne. It's the same clueless lot.

In case you had some lingering doubt that the Trudeau government is a serious administration, doubt no more. Chrystia Freeland says that the HST rebate is attacking the "vibecession." Not the real problems of youth unemployment, or housing, or inflation? I just, I don't understand, I can't even-

I would not be surprised to wake up and find the Trump administration drafting more cohesive policy than us, even if it's all garbage. Can't see Prime Minister Poilievre doing real policy either, so I've given up hope for actual policymaking from any upper level of government until 2030 at least.
