A noteworthy part of the plan is to pause the electric vehicle (EV) mandate to meet a demand by the auto industry. The strategy waives the mandate for the 2026 model year and launches a 60-day review of the policy.
On the one hand it’s funny to see Carney constantly pulling the rug out from under Poilievre’s platform, but at the same time it seems like they’re reading from the same playbook.
There is a gulf of Mexico sized difference between removing the EV mandate that Milhouse-PP’s US masters want.
And pushing it down the road so that the Canadian Auto Industry doesnt have to retool itself alongside fighting Trump’s idiotic tariffs at the same time.

Poilievre seems to just be repeating sound bites. Carney is an ideologue. I think he truly believes in the modern neoliberal macroeconomics playbook.
As opposed to forcing us to buy cars that don’t exist? Canadians are not buying EVs in numbers anywhere near pickups and large SUVs.
The mandate is not to force us to buy more, but for manufacturers to produce more options.

That’s my comment misquoted, and with more words.
I think Poilievre knows what Carney is planning and saying it first. Probably because as you say, they are reading form the same Playbook.
