Why should the poor fund the rich to replace their 3 year old Lexus with an EV, surely funding mass transit makes far more sense?
Why do we even want to push car centric urban sprawl in the first place during a massive housing shortage where everything should be being rezoned for density, or the fact we are borrowing public money that we then pay perpetual interest on to gift to for-profit corporations. This whole thing is messed up, and its no wonder Canada has so many problems when our politicians are this corrupt.
Canada has yet to tariff ebikes/emobility from China. That is a massive personal freedom for Urban/near Urban locations where most of Canadians live, and provide great car replacements at huge energy/mile efficiency gains, and often faster trip times, and lower cost, than personal cars (including parking) or transit.
Streetcar Suburbs is what we need! Rezoning and density. Great Not Just Bikes video showing how current legislation in Canada prevents new suburbs being built like the used to be in Canada 60-70 years ago.

They are talking about the economy, not Transit.
Publicly funded mass transit sounds amazing. I'm in a suburb and hate that I have to use a car to get to most places.
Mostly because voters don't prioritize mass transit at all.
Politicians are not corrupt, they just follow the whims of the voters who aren't rational.
Affordable housing is the same problem, voters don't want it yet because it would crash existing house prices.
