=== Canada Bans Gas Cars (03:23) ===

[00:00:00]  Canada bans gas cars, is that correct?
[00:00:02]  Am I seeing this correctly?
[00:00:05]  Canada lays out plans to phase out sales of gas-powered cars and trucks by 2035. So that's 11 years from now.
[00:00:16]  New rules will effectively end sales of vehicles powered only by gasoline or diesel by 2035. This is from the CBC. Canada is lost.
[00:00:33]  I'm going to have this remarkable woman from Holland on the show later.
[00:00:40]  She was at the conference and so I invited her to come to L.A. and come on the show.
[00:00:49]  She was just in Canada.
[00:00:51]  She did a lecture tour in Canada.
[00:00:54]  You'll be fascinated by her insights as a European.
[00:01:01]  Where do these batteries come from?
[00:01:05]  Is there any energy used in the making of batteries?
[00:01:10]  I know, I know.
[00:01:11]  It was a rhetorical question.
[00:01:14]  And who is enriched by using batteries?
[00:01:18]  What countries?
[00:01:19]  China.
[00:01:19]  Right, China.
[00:01:21]  And I'm supposed to celebrate this idea based on climate models?
[00:01:28]  According to the modeling, we were supposed to lock down all of our societies because of COVID.
[00:01:38]  The modeling turned out to be wrong and societies were damaged terribly.
[00:01:43]  Most of all children, the greatest victims of leftism.
[00:01:47]  Let's see, what are these?
[00:01:53]  Environmental Minister Stephen Gibault.
[00:01:58]  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.
[00:02:24]  No, it doesn't encourage.
[00:02:25]  It forces.
[00:02:27]  Encourage.
[00:02:29]  This is leftist newspeak.
[00:02:33]  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.
[00:02:42]  Wow.
[00:02:43]  How many years have we been at a tipping point in terms of global warming?
[00:02:49]  Since 1990 at least.
[00:02:51]  So 34 years next year.
[00:02:56]  For 34 years, we've been at a tipping point.
[00:03:00]  Didn't China just experience its coldest days in many years?
[00:03:04]  Did you see that?
[00:03:05]  Yeah.
[00:03:10]  That's right.
[00:03:11]  Automakers will have the next 12 years to phase out combustion, engine cars, trucks, and SUVs.
[00:03:18]  Canada is such an oil-rich country.
[00:03:21]  You know how crushing this is to the Canadian economy?
