B.C. Kills EV Mandate – And the Rest of the Dream . . .

BC lifts the ban on gasoline engines a la Ottawa

. . .  Is Dying With It

This week, just days ago, on November 18, 2025, B.C. Energy Minister Adrian Dix stood up and did something nobody in Victoria thought they’d ever see an NDP government do: he admitted the province’s Zero-Emission Vehicle mandate was “no longer realistic” and announced they’re scrapping the 90% by 2030 and 100% by 2035 targets. Dead. Gone. They’re writing new legislation in 2026 that will basically copy whatever weaker rules Ottawa comes up with after its own ongoing retreat.

CAD $683.9 billion in Canadians' personal assets disappearing overnight

 So I'll be a monkey's uncle. The Liberal Crime Syndicate just robbed Canadian residents of three-quarters of a trillion dollars in personal assets.

And nobody bats an eyelash.
A lot of premium automobile value simply disappeared under Mark Carney

$680 billion in Canadian personal assets now uninsurable, and therefore worthless

Let's ask Grok what the Liberals did to personal assets in Canada this summer. Here it is in Black and White: The Liberals trashed personal property value in the following assets: To estimate the total value, I (Grok) will assign approximate average values to each vehicle category, multiply by the estimated number of vehicles, and sum the results. All values are in Canadian dollars (CAD).
Passenger Cars: Number: ~9.5 million banned Average value: CAD 25,000 Total value: 9.5 million × 25,000 = CAD 237.5 billion lost Multi-Purpose Vehicles (SUVs/Crossovers):Number: ~8.8 million banned Average value: CAD 30,000 Total value: 8.8 million × 30,000 = CAD 264 billion lost Light-Duty Pickup Trucks: Number: ~4.1 million banned Average value: CAD 35,000 Total value: 4.1 million × 35,000 = CAD 143.5 billion lost Vans: Number: ~1.7 million banned Average value: CAD 20,000 Total value: 1.7 million × 20,000 = CAD 34 billion lost Motorcycles: Number: ~0.7 million banned Average value: CAD 7,000 Total value: 0.7 million × 7,000 = CAD 4.9 billion lost
Total Value: Sum: 237.5 + 264 + 143.5 + 34 + 4.9 = CAD $683.9 billion erased starting now Add the marine sector and the RV Sector and the Farm Sector and track vehicles and emergency vehicles? These personal assets are worthless (uninsurable) because gas won't be available, nor will service, or parts.

Add the RV sector, and agriculture sector, and it's affecting $1 trillion in personal assets belonging to middle class Canadians. It's as if they are being robbed of their assets.

Knowing Canada is a mess is too little too late

Alan Fryer is a retired journalist of the CTV TV news, and somebody I follow today on X, where @alanfryermedia comments about politics with the same point of view I saw on television. I admit there was a time when I enjoyed watching so-called mainstream media news. It was necessary to read between the lines, but journalists didn't make it impossible to see two-sides of a story in the old days. 

Today, Fryer said, "Multiculturalism was a concept that once united and indeed defined Canada. The 'multiculturalism' on display in the streets of our major cities these days - the post-national variety of multiculturalism - is instead ripping at the very fabric of our country and testing our our national solidarity and identity. This will forever be the Trudeau legacy."

The end of ICE will be catastrophe in Canada

The estimates of economic ruin are inescapable

Banning the automobile gasoline and diesel engine is economic hari kiri

Kris Eriksen, in Canada @KEriksenV2 says, "So, now can we ALL agree that Canadians are in very, very, VERY DEEP trouble?"

"Hold my beer." says Prime Minister Carney:

Why doesn't Quebec stay in its lane?

 💞Trina LaGüerita🇨🇦🇲🇽 @LivinTheFringe said, on X.com, "No transfer payments? Thank you. We’re tired of supporting you welfare jackasses.  We’re first and foremost Albertans and the idea of not being associated with idiots who repeatedly vote for corruption, crime, drugs, inflation, wasteful spending, against free speech, net zero climate scams, and unacceptable immigration is quite appealing, actually.  We don’t need O&G subsidies, we need to work without the Government’s lead food on our necks.  Our passports will be one of the most sought-after in the world, because we’re not freedom-hating, prosperity-rejecting Liberals."

Which got me thinking, and talking:

Am I the only one who sees it?

Am I the only one who sees it?
