  1. Here’s the #EV #trade response we need:

    Reverse the tariffs on Chinese EVs
    Allow smaller, less expensive cars into the #Canadian market.

  2. So, Justin Trudeau, Canada's Prime Minister almost single-handedly dragged the #Liberal party's support from the public into the basement. The party is unpopular, but #Trudeau, the party leader, is amazingly, incredibly unpopular.

    This has been going on for some time. He's got far too much #pride and #ego to resign and let new blood take over the party; he's going to take them into the next #election, where the party will be absolutely decimated [*].

    He's getting desperate. Not desperate enough to resign, but desperate enough to be throwing anything and everything at the problem, hoping something will stick.

    A few months ago, he announced the #government would be sending working Canadians a one-time $250 #cheque. There is no more obvious vote-buying attempt than this (though it won't work). The country is already running #multibillion-dollar #deficits, so this is just borrowing more money from future generations, with #interest, to give to voters today.

    #Chrystia #Freeland, Canada's Finance minister, was against it. The government's financial position then got worse. They *needed* to cancel this plan, but Trudeau wouldn't budge. So she resigned today, hours before she was to give an update on the country's economic status in the House of #Commons, as she refused to endorse his vote-buying plan.

    #Astute observers will note this is yet another female minister forced out of his #cabinet. This makes at least 3.

    [*] not the literal 10% version, you pedant.
