    Just think how fast it would move with AFFORDABLE electric vehicles and cheap solar panels to charge them. Instead we get tariffs and more oil/gas pipelines, and oppression of people trying to prevent the pipelines. That is Canada’s response to global warming.

      Ebikes are already insanely affordable and cars are here to save the car industry, most certainly not the environment. Any way forward will be about moving away from using cars for every single journey (especially the 40% done daily that are under 5km) and designing our streets to move people, rather than metal boxes.

        Not riding an e-bike in this climate, except for the 3 months of the year when it is actually habitable.

      Affordable electric vehicles are e-bikes and Mass Transit on appropriate infrastructure.

      Private electric cars and Ride-share electric cars are not a sustainable replacement for ICE vehicles.
