Big deal. Smart: “Part of the EV quota will be reserved for cars with an import price of $35,000 or less, Mr. Carney said. The proportion of the quota dedicated to this category will rise 50 per cent by 2030, he said, “kickstarting the availability of more affordable electric vehicles in Canada.”

Great to catch up with former Prime Minister Jean Chrétien to give him a copy of my book. #RunLikeAGirl. He has been a great mentor. He gave me the best political advice that I would turn to when I had a really tough decision to make: “Canadians are reasonable. Be reasonable.” Truth!
