I have an electric car, it's pretty great. Payback time in decreased fuel and maintenance is pretty quick, too - just a few years, and that's even without ascribing any time saving value to the HOV lane access. Hydro Quebec put out a PDF that shows how long it took to come out ahead on hybrid and EV by model... before the addition of the federal subsidy. For most cars, it was 2-4 years... Even faster now in BC/QC.

I was legitimately planning to ditch my van for Subaru's new hybrid, which gets fantastic range, but they've deliberately delayed launching it in Canada until late 2020 when these rebates expire. And yes, the left in this country absolutely needs to put down the peace pipe and start picking up guns, either metaphorical or physical.

Helsing posted:The problem is that Rae responded by trying to win over the business community and press - in large part by making both real and symbolic attacks on the labour unions that had worked like hell to get him into office. I get really tired of NDP complaining about their treatment under Rae. I mean of course they were attacked by the media, who would want to support a party that wasn't getting attacked by the media constantly? I'd rather talk about how the NDP hosed up the best chance it ever got instead of enabling them to cry about the mean old media. Yeah I do have trouble squaring that - my dad was OPSEU at the time and had to take that hit. Appeasement policy never does seem to work around businesses and media so you may as well do what you plan to do as a left party and not let everyone else try to drag you into the centre. I am firmly in the 'austerity kills' camp for sure. Of course, all of the good that was done by the NDP in terms of policy and public works were pissed away by the Harris PCs and having been a student through those years I got opinions about them. The 407 is basically a trigger word for a buddy of mine. Rae still managed to hand them a solid economic recovery on a plate despite it all, I remember reading that Ontario recovered from that recession faster than the rest of the world.

You think the Liberals could have at least got rid of FPP before they self destructed.  I wonder if they're kicking themselves over that now. As much I don't care for the liberals, I will always infinitely hate the cons more.

These numbers are brutal for the Liberals Other recent polls aren't necessarily quite that bad but do also show an uptick for the Greens and NDP (though the NDP is firmly back in pre-2011 territory and doesn't seem to be doing well in Quebec). Also, based on the Angus Reid poll: Angus Reid posted:

Honestly, having a superficially progressive government in power often seems to paralyze a big part of the activist community and creates a lot of reluctance to fully commit to criticizing the government. Given how woefully inadequate any of the actual legislative solutions being presented are I am not convinced that we'd be that much worse off with the Liberals losing. Up until his current dive in the polls Trudeau was a very effective spokesperson for pretending to care about the environment while materially contributing to its destruction. With the conservatives in power at least the sheer inadequacy of an incrementalist legislative approach is made clear and the antagonism between activists and the government is heightened. What do we have to show after almost a full term under the Liberals?

Well, we gave billions of dollars to an American oil company in exchange for nothing, so that's definitely built up a lot of political capital to buy support for our weak as poo poo carbon tax that will get repealed in six months anyway.
