Country Passes New Law Banning Gas Vehicles: The Era of Gas Bans Is Now
©Source: WorldMatrix

Canada recently made a big move to fight global warming: by 2035, all new light-duty vehicles sold there must be zero-emission, meaning they won't produce harmful pollution from their tailpipes.

The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.

Ethiopia beat Canada to the punch though only 54 % of the people have access to electricity.  Talk about virtue signaling! *****rollingeyes*****

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.
Will the US accept Canadian refugees?

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Canada. 

This should be fun since EV's have serious trouble functioning in cold weather.  Maybe after a year or so of dealing with non-functional cars and trucks imposed on them by their government, the Canadians will throw out their left-wing virtue-signaling government, and go back to distinguishing themselves from Americans by being more British (or French) culturally, rather than further left politically.
And when they behead your own people in the wars which are to come, then you will know what this was all about.

Well, the survivors might. But 80 percent of Canadians live in Cities, and it's the other 20 percent who are more likely to freeze to death.
