Today marks a clear victory for Albertans.

Alberta’s government identified the federal electric vehicle mandate as one of the nine bad federal laws and policies that were hurting our economy, driving up costs and interfering in areas of provincial jurisdiction. We said from the beginning that this policy was bad for Alberta and bad for Canada. Now, the federal government is scrapping it, thanks in large part to our government’s advocacy.

From the day this mandate was imposed, Alberta warned it was unrealistic, unaffordable and unworkable. It would have taken choices away from families, imposed unnecessary costs on consumers and businesses, and placed enormous new demands on provincial electricity grids without the infrastructure required to support it.

The removal of the EV mandate is the latest example of Ottawa reconsidering policies Alberta has consistently opposed. It builds on the commitment from the federal government not to proceed with a federal oil and gas emissions cap, abeyance of the federal Clean Electricity Regulations, an agreement-in-principle allowing Alberta to continue regulating methane under its existing system, Impact Assessment Agreement to streamline project reviews, and the removal of greenwashing provisions in the Competition Act.

I also appreciate the work of our friends from the Conservative Party of Canada under the leadership of @PierrePoilievre for the work they did advocating for the removal of these policies.

Albertans should be free to choose the vehicle that works best for their family, their business and their budget. Governments should set achievable environmental outcomes and allow consumers, businesses and innovators to determine the best technologies to meet them, not dictate what Canadians can and cannot drive.

Alberta is already delivering real emissions reductions without sacrificing affordability or economic growth. Since 2019, Alberta’s overall emissions have declined 9 per cent, while transportation emissions have fallen 17 per cent.

We support reducing transportation emissions and giving Albertans lower-emissions options. But environmental policy must be practical, achievable and technology-neutral. The EV mandate failed that test.

While today’s decision is an important step toward resetting the relationship between Alberta and the federal government, there still more work to do.

We will also closely analyze Ottawa’s proposed replacement vehicle-emissions regulations to ensure the federal government does not simply recreate the EV mandate under another name.

Alberta fought this mandate from the beginning. Today, common sense prevailed.

@cvangeyn So sorry for your loss

@LichTamara I actually spent 2 days walking around during the Freedom Convoy, everyone was so nice, polite and just wanted to be heard by their Government. That was a watershed moment for Canada, some of us understand that, others need to listen and learn the truth why it was, unsung heroes.

[Vesper @vesperdigital]

The only MP in the HOC, 𝐎𝐍 𝐕𝐈𝐃𝐄𝐎, who echoed @LichTamara's message about how the Liberals and Justin Trudeau divided Canadians and went on to accuse the Liberals of Freezing Bank accounts and demonizing the protestors is @PierrePoilievre!
𝐖𝐚𝐭𝐜𝐡!

THIS NEEDS TO BE BURIED ASAP!

[Fake Mark Carney @MarkCarney_Ego]

Three years ago, I called my citizens disgusting racists and nazis for flying the Canadian flag in protest.

Now, I'm encouraging them to fly it to support me.

I am a virtue signaling hypocrite, who's holding the entire country hostage to feed my self-centred, narcissistic ego.

No matter how many times I speak about it, no matter how many times I read about it, and no matter how many times I hear others tell of their individual stories and experiences, it never gets any easier.

It’s difficult to comprehend the lengths taken by our government, cheered on, amplified and perpetuated by mainstream media, to vilify, dismiss and discredit middle class Canadians all to avoid a conversation and hear a differing opinion.

This reply to one of my posts a couple of weeks ago broke my heart… “I was there too….dodging noise cannons, pepper spray, feeling ignored, hated and corralled like sheep…LIKE WE WERE NOTHING…”

Like we were nothing.

@RayMcGinnis7 has succinctly captured the tyrannical, illogical and downright unethical measures taken to quash a peaceful, legal protest by the Canadian working class who said “no” and the ongoing lawfare that continues three years later.

@cduhaime Well, it’s also likely that everyone that used that stolen information, knowing how it was obtained, also committed an illegal act…especially those in Government at the time…
There is no statute of limitations on prosecution in Canada either…
Just a thought…

And this was the note Chrystia Freeland wrote to Canada's director of intelligence during the Freedom Convoy (trucker protest).

It reads:

"We need a new playbook. You need to designate this group as a terrorist group and seize the assets and imprison them."

That's who this woman is. She's an authoritarian. If there's a bus she's being thrown under, she needs to be tossed all the way underneath it.

@misterv_ca @barryja12176923 @MTW2478 Actually it was deemed unconstitutional, as in at odds with our constitution, as in a violation of fundamental rights.

[George Thomas @GeorgeThomasTs]

@MTW2478 Popular opinion doesn't mean something was right. Many people don't even know what was happening to their fellow Canadians because the media wouldn't report it. Many people are still unaware that the vaccines used a novel technology.

[George Thomas @GeorgeThomasTs]

@truckdriverpleb Definitely not on the same day as Freeland

[George Thomas @GeorgeThomasTs]

@TrumpBaroon Hell yes

There are no words, no sentiments, no non-verbal cues, no telepathic communications that can capture the extent to which this individual is grotesque.

[George Thomas @GeorgeThomasTs]

@rupasubramanya Yes same impression - I think he's actually very intelligent, but ruthless and evil.
