Is Canada’s electric vehicle strategy really failing—or just evolving? In this interview, National Observer columnist Max Fawcett breaks down why Canada’s EV rollout appears to be struggling today, with EVs making up just 3.5% of the national fleet compared to much higher adoption rates in China. But the real story isn’t about failure—it’s about a strategic pivot.

We explore how federal policy is shifting away from reliance on North American automakers toward deeper engagement with global players, especially in Asia. The conversation dives into industrial policy, supply chains, and why China’s integration of climate and economic strategy is reshaping the global auto industry.

Disgusting. For those unaware, IBM has acquired Red Hat a few years back (they are heavily involved in Linux development and related technologies). "Technology is apolitical" bros can bite me.

Randomly came across this blog post written in light of the Quittr porn quitting app leak.
