| Canada bans gas cars, is that correct? | |
| Am I seeing this correctly? | |
| Canada lays out plans to phase out sales of gas-powered cars and trucks by 2035. So that's 11 years from now. | |
| New rules will effectively end sales of vehicles powered only by gasoline or diesel by 2035. This is from the CBC. Canada is lost. | |
| I'm going to have this remarkable woman from Holland on the show later. | |
| She was at the conference and so I invited her to come to L.A. and come on the show. | |
| She was just in Canada. | |
| She did a lecture tour in Canada. | |
| You'll be fascinated by her insights as a European. | |
| Where do these batteries come from? | |
| Is there any energy used in the making of batteries? | |
| I know, I know. | |
| It was a rhetorical question. | |
| And who is enriched by using batteries? | |
| What countries? | |
| China. | |
| Right, China. | |
| And I'm supposed to celebrate this idea based on climate models? | |
| According to the modeling, we were supposed to lock down all of our societies because of COVID. | |
| The modeling turned out to be wrong and societies were damaged terribly. | |
| Most of all children, the greatest victims of leftism. | |
| Let's see, what are these? | |
| Environmental Minister Stephen Gibault. | |
| G-U-I-L-B-E-A-U-L-T will effectively end sales of new passenger vehicles powered only by gasoline or diesel in 2035. Guibault said the electric vehicle availability standard will encourage automakers to make more battery-powered cars and trucks available in Canada. | |
| No, it doesn't encourage. | |
| It forces. | |
| Encourage. | |
| This is leftist newspeak. | |
| You can't do X, so I'm encouraging you not to do X. There's no mistaking it, we are at a tipping point. | |
| Wow. | |
| How many years have we been at a tipping point in terms of global warming? | |
| Since 1990 at least. | |
| So 34 years next year. | |
| For 34 years, we've been at a tipping point. | |
| Didn't China just experience its coldest days in many years? | |
| Did you see that? | |
| Yeah. | |
| That's right. | |
| Automakers will have the next 12 years to phase out combustion, engine cars, trucks, and SUVs. | |
| Canada is such an oil-rich country. | |
| You know how crushing this is to the Canadian economy? |
