My aunt gifted me her Chevy sedan in 2014 that she had bought new in 2011 and it only had 48,000kms on the odometer.

Dealer demo.
Take the freight, PDI, incentives and still get new finance rates.
Bought in dec2024/Jan 2025 and anything less than 4 years old would have been more due to the 5% difference in interest rates.

Just allow Chinese EV's in and let the market sort itself out. No mandates, no rebates, nada. Just sweet, pure market economics at work.
The EV mandate being Pierre's pet policy objection is fucking aggravating though. But it does speak to how he feels he's got nothing to go after on the top 20-30 issues more important to Canadians than EV vs ICE.

So he’s running against an EV “mandate” which doesn’t exist because all the federal government has done is set unenforceable sales targets and committed to funding EV infrastructure. They let the federal incentive expire. But it’s Poilievre so campaigning against a boogeyman seems on brand.

Yeah, I have a fairly short commute (have for most of the life of the car), and although I've road-tripped quite a bit - Quebec, US Midwest a bunch and down to the London area every couple of months, I don't drive too much.

Man, Air Canada is really fucking flight attendants. I had no idea they weren't paid till flight starts.
What a scam.
What a scam.

If you want to feel nervous, look up what pilots who work for regional airlines in the US get paid. Then remind yourself about the maintenance records of these airlines combined with the chronic shortage of FAA inspectors. Then toss in all the air traffic controllers who got cut by DOGE.

One of the reasons why my mom became a nurse was because she wanted to be a stewardess. Back then, you needed nursing training to be one. Today, a flight attendant is considered barely more than a waitress and they are paid more like them than like any sort of "professional" or highly skilled worker. The travel to exotic ports of call like Regina is supposed to be the perq that makes the shitty pay worth it. But it's a grind.
