The fact that so many of you think this is about the cars your drive is a great indicator of how successful neoliberal propaganda has been in framing climate change to liberals. Industrial carbon emissions are not only multiples times higher than whatever we’re all doing with our cars, it has also increased according to Canada’s own report. Private jets from one rich asshole outpaces us all. This is not a community issue about the use of electric vehicles, it is us versus the wealthiest people who don’t even have to fucking drive themselves places.
Indeed, one of the most ironic things about the “Buy Canadian” movement is that the only way we know how to resist fascism is through consumption of differently branded products.
That doesn’t stop me from buying Canadian of course, but it shows how few options neoliberalism gives us to protect our sovereignty.
