MPs take a pay raise while raising the carbon tax Talk about being tone deaf. MPs, who fled Ottawa over concerns about COVID-19 on March 13, will pocket a pay raise on April 1, the same day many Canadians will be wondering how to make rent or mortgage payments. It’s also the same day the carbon tax goes up. How’s that for a double whammy? MPs currently have a base salary of $178,900. That doesn’t include their housing allowance for their time in Ottawa or the per diems that they get to cover meals while on government business. https://torontosun.com/opinion/columnists/lilley-mps-take-a-pay-raise-while-raising-your-taxes-during-a-crisis Carbon tax bumps up gas prices in 4 provinces — will it change consumer behaviour? Gas prices went up for consumers in Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario and New Brunswick on Monday as the federal carbon tax kicked in. The tax has drawn heat from across the country, from politicians and Canadians in general, who say it will harm the economy and put too much of a financial burden on consumers. Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer has been one of the most vocal opponents, repeatedly calling the move a “tax grab.” On Monday, Scheer spoke in New Brunswick saying he’ll scrap the tax if he becomes prime minister. https://globalnews.ca/news/5117385/gas-prices-carbon-tax-consumer-behaviour/ Justin Trudeau Gets Crushed Online After Suggesting Canadians Turn Off Lights Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau may be handling his own coronavirus pandemic, but he’s still committed to pursuing radical environmental policies and ingratiating himself to the global environmental elite. Saturday night, while most Canadians sheltered at home, under “social distancing” order designed to slow the spread of the novel coronavirus, COVID-19, Trudeau suggested on social media that those sheltering in place turn off their electricity to save the planet. https://www.dailywire.com/news/justin-trudeau-gets-crushed-online-after-suggesting-canadians-turn-off-lights-tv-for-earth-hour-amid-coronavirus-quarantine Must We Kill the Economy to Kill the Virus? "We cannot let the cure be worse than the problem itself," tweeted the president on Sunday night, adding that, after the current 15-day shutdown, "we will make a decision as to which way we want to go." President Trump is said to be privately expressing a deepening concern at the damage the coronavirus shutdown is doing to the U.S. economy and debating whether it can be safely reopened. Though castigated for his remark, Trump has a point. The U.S. is rightly using extreme measures to meet the threat and control the virus that threatens the lives of millions of Americans, with the elderly sick foremost among them. And we need to do so without killing the economy upon ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t5f5oO7CSdg

Factors That Impact Charging Time Charging times may vary due to several factors. What is your power source? How much power can your electric car handle? How can drivers charge their vehicles and get back on the road more quickly? Depending on an electric vehicle power source and battery capacity, drivers can charge their cars in as little as 30 minutes. Unfortunately, that isn’t the standard. Most drivers will need about a couple of days (roughly 40 hours) to charge a fully depleted electric car battery if they use the standard three-prong plugs found in mobile devices, laptops, and the walls of most homes. https://www.kbb.com/car-advice/how-long-does-take-charge-electric-car/ Steady Improvements Updated models of these vehicles now have nearly double the range in their batteries, and electric cars on the market today will increasingly have a range of well over 200 miles. The Audi e-tron SUV, for example, has a range of roughly 240 miles, while the Hyundai Kona EV and Kia e-Niro have a range of around 270 miles. In addition, Tesla cars have a range of more than 300 miles between charges. https://ev-america.com/how-far-can-an-electric-car-go-on-a-single-charge/ 13,000 people sign petition demanding Trudeau be charged with inciting hatred More than 13,000 people have signed a petition to have the prime minister of Canada charged with inciting hatred.

The situation in Canada is far worse than Justin Trudeau lying about the nature and spirit of the Freedom Convoy taking place in Ottawa (and now extending across the nation and internationally). Trudeau is now maligning and attacking a majority of Canadians who have been rallying patriotically, peacefully, and lawfully in opposition to Trudeau’s heavy-handed mandates and temperamental political overreach. In a desperate and cowardly attempt to overcompensate for his own long list of transgressions and deep-seeded character flaws, Trudeau is accusing everyone else of what he actually is. It is a clinical example of projection and its obvious to every Canadian carrying an objective and informed lens. https://www.extremelyamerican.com/post/canadian-veteran-trudeau-increased-hate-and-he-increased-division-because-he-is-scared Trudeau’s party passes bill to regulate social media, streaming It’s among the most far-reaching plans by governments anywhere to regulate the algorithms tech companies use to amplify or recommend content. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Avwu6e_bIaQ
