To be clear, our governments were subsidizing the manufacture of internal combustion engine cars and trucks long before EVs entered the market. Governments are also subsidizing the build out of EV charging stations across Canada and planning to upgrade and retrofit electricity grids to meet the increased demand for electricity.
What taxpayers should be aware of is that subsidization of the EV industry here will involve huge costs, which are only going to increase.
I see that you are unfamiliar with big business 😂
so does oil and gas, and your newspaper
All automobile manufacturers run on subsidies You lie for a living!
Oil and gas doesn’t?
Not unlike gasoline vehicles. The factories are subsidized, so is R & D. The oil & gas industry is heavily subsidized. Federally, 18 billion/yr. Provincially, BC AB Sask & NL subsidize oil & gas 2.5 billion/yr. Here in Ottawa, the City gave a Porsche dealership a 2.9m tax break.
BINGO!
Seriously? Who the hell do you have writing this gobblygoop? You RWNJ’s really believe CANADIANS are stupid and will believe anything don’t you? WAKE UP CANADA! This pure CONservative supermarket tabloid trash is what passes as credible’news’! Pathetic joke!

JimBob87966760 and Canadians are being screwed royally in the process.
So do gasoline vehicles.
Poorly written article that attempts to imply a scam, while at the same time inadvertently describing how the government helps industries get off the ground so that they can path towards becoming self sustaining 🤷🏼♂️ ShittyJournalism
Oil and gas corporations run on subsidies as well. How about taking them carbon polluters and giving those funds to green energy?
Remember when the Ontario liberals bought into the idea of subsidizing hydro rates for solar and wind projects We now have some of the highest electricity rates in North America and business's can't compete....
Oh Infowars North
COUNTERPOINT: So do billionaires
So do ICE cars
They also run on globalist hopes and dreams that are not possible.
Like oil you mean?
What a bubble that EV we’ll be in 10 years the worst oops ever
Good, just like oil…
Cut the subsidies and see how many will buy them
like the oil industry isn't subsidized? lmfao your bullshit becomes more blatent daily.
And unicorn farts.
If you put on top of that the fact that the users don’t pay any road tax for the infrastructure they use, it’s a total scam!
The Toronto Sun runs on subsidies. Your owners, Postmedia News, took $37 million in taxpayer funded subsidies last year. All that so you could publish page 3 girly pics and pimp the convoy. What a trash heap your paper is. Embarrassing.
For 2022 alone. Oil and Gas Corps get subsidies, too
Wait till you hear about the oil and gas industry lmao
90 percent of a battery powered vehicle are made by fossil fuels.
Huh
