Without the subsidy, new car dealers say B.C.'s ambitious electric vehicle mandates will be unachievable as price-conscious consumers look elsewhere.

@arrrg it's not protests, but #subsidies for #BEV|s ending and noone want to see or be seen in a #Swasticar to the point that dealers refuse to accept them for trade-in!

Even the local car pawnshop in my hometown rejects #Tesla|s!

For all my American followers - let me unpack Trump’s subsidy lie. No, the US government is not paying subsidies to Canada. Instead, private American companies are choosing to buy Canadian products. As are American consumers. It’s called competitive free market capitalism. To say you’re subsidizing us is like saying I’m subsidizing my grocery store or dry cleaners when I spend money there. #Trump #subsidies #tariffs #cdnpoli #Canada

“…Musk opened the call…by ranting about competitors and subsidies. …complaining about government “handouts” benefiting other EV makers – an odd tangent, given Tesla’s own reliance on government credits. As a matter of fact, if it weren’t for Government Subsidies, like the fraudulent ones he tried to steal from the Government of Canada this year, TESLA would have lost money.”

Here is the full informative exchange on Bombardier-Boeing context. Boeing complained that Bombardier is heavily subsidized by the state (mostly Québec and to a much lesser extent Canada). The contents of the screenshots should give you a pretty good understanding of why that is factually wrong and morally horrendous. These are the types of abuses that exist when you can't make decisions for yourself as a people.

Given U.S. #consumption is so important globally (two-thirds bigger than #EU consumption!) the #world 's #governments have now few options to counter #Trump 's #trade #war : #state #subsidies to impacted sectors and #economic or #fiscal stimulus to avoid #recession (both triggering higher public #debt ), counter-tarrifs, and new free-trade agreements with other countries. In most cases it will be a mixture of all and reconfigure #global trade flows and #market mecanisms.

@adlerweb @nixCraft you can thank @BNetzA and illegal #VDSL #subsidies for that.

If it was my fecision, #symmetric #Ethernet #FTTH with 1GBit/s for €10 p.m. would be mandatory to every building free of charge, with 10GBit/s for every multi-tennant/unit building and 100GBit/s for every settlement!

Cultuursubsidiebeleid vraagt om een mentaliteitsverschuiving: van een vastgeroeste, puntmatige beoordeling naar een open, experimentele dialoog. Een radicaal andere manier van denken, maar juist die vernieuwing kan de culturele sector een boost geven. #Innovatie #Creativiteit #Cultuur #Samenwerking #Adviespraktijk #subsidies

"#Canada’s affordability crisis and #fossilfuel company profits are linked." And still political parties are cheerleading pipelines, deregulation, more #subsidies, and a free pass on #emissions and #ecosystems destruction. thetyee.ca/News/2025/03/26/Fee

Trump has declared war on the poor and coward Americans are still ridiculously silent (except for spitting on Teslas and posting on social media).
