I suggest you look up how many billions the federal government has given to EV battery plants in Canada

Workers are the average Canadian. I wish we’d get that perspective more

This isn’t a “too many new students problem”. This is a “consistent lack of funding from the provincial government” problem. Until people realize that and change their voting habits, nothing will change…
