Media Flip Flop: Pausing the EV sales mandate might not be bad for the climate

Your title states "Media-flip, flop ...."
Please explain the equation that you employed to deduce that a governmental decision which was duly reported on by the CBC telecast in the video you posted above was actually, in fact a "media-flip-flop" and not a governmental decision being reported on?

Actually, I was going to say "Liberal and Media flip flip", but cut it to media and left the video for reference.
You are right, I wanted to say Liberals directly, but the supporters would whine like toddlers. So I tried to avoid the trigger word.
But yes, Now that the Liberal government needs to put these policies on the shelf, CBC and CTV are now warming up to the idea of scrapping them.
But you're triggered.
The CBC was not involved, nor vested like you, so vested, in fact the likes of which the world has seldom seen before, in the governmental decision they reported on.
Stay cool snowflake.
Well at least the liberals are learning there is no climate emergency... Gas is king...and the Carbon tax is a sham...they may not admit it's a sham but we know they know we know...
What's Steven Guilbeault take on all this?...Lets put a microphone in front of him and see what he has to say.

Why is this a flip flop? Is a government not allowed to change its decisions?
This is exactly what I mean.
The discussion is about bad policies and how the Liberals and Media are now flip flopping, but you want the discussion to be about something else.
Triggered!
Adam Pankratz: Just put EV mandate out of its misery already
Liberal plan is unrealistic and ignores what car buyers actually want

Man, I know Fascists struggle with literacy, but at least read past the headline:
" Axsen says the thing that will make the biggest difference to meeting our climate goals is getting to 100 per cent zero-emissions vehicles in 2035. As long as that remains, he said, "the whole transition could survive playing around with 2026, 2027." "
and
"Some clean energy think-tanks have already proposed tweaks to the policy that could provide more flexibility while bringing cheaper EVs to Canada — and helping bring down carbon emissions.
Clean Energy Canada and the Pembina Institute both suggest giving carmakers more credits toward the EV sales target for things like selling cheaper vehicles or adding more charging infrastructure, along with re-evaluating the 100 per cent tariffs on Chinese-made EVs.
The Pembina Institute also suggests that Canada could harmonize its regulations with Europe to allow European EVs to be sold in Canada.
Daniel Breton, president and CEO of Electric Mobility Canada, said that's something the federal government is starting to look into. He had been recommending adding flexibility to the policy to "bend it instead of break it" amid pressure to scrap it altogether.
His group represents the EV industry in Canada, including EV makers Tesla and Rivian, Nissan Canada, truck and bus manufacturers, EV charging providers, mining companies and research centres."
So "Pausing the mandate for 60 days is probably o.k., scrapping it is bad, and maybe Euro-spec cars and $10,000 Chinese EV's aren't the devil after all"

Sure change of policy now...COPE!No just change of policy. Very normal.
Welcome to your 4th liberal term! lmfao.
You didn't read that story either, did you?
If the carbon tax was a sham how come gas prices didn't drop and groceries aren't cheaper?
Did PeePee lie to you?
Are you back to trolling the board, rich?Sure change of policy now...COPE!
Cage has a question for you.
Of course, the government can change their policies any time they deem necessary.Sure change of policy now...COPE!
Like the last minute carbon tax revocation that left PP stunned lmfao.
One that keeps shifting back to the center. At this rate, there won't be any progressive policies left in a few years. Welcome to your first centrist term. What are your pronouns?
