The year is almost over and we have just 1300 new condo sales across the entire Metro Vancouver region. Now you know why the government is panicking.

Tax saving on Canadian built and Canadian parts is a no brainer. With say 25% reduction if built/assembled in Canada and then up to 75% further reduction based on percentage of Canadian parts. See the image, the RAV4 would have the most tax reduction. Help support Canadians and Canadian car manufacturing.

@SuperSleuth007 @overton_the Diddy got 4 years. Prince Andrew zero. And UK made Peter Mandelson a lord.

@Teslarati I'd say because the car opposite wasn't signaling and started moving forward. FSD had to be sure that car was not coming straight.

@wholemars They could just produce the skid of the Cybertruck and sell it to other manufacturers to build the body in any form they liked. Keep the FSD subscriptions too.

[GT @GMTDev]

@Teslarati At that point Tesla should 100% split off human driven motors from Tesla Robotaxi's/AI/ etc. Just make it a separate company. The cars are profitable and will be for the foreseable future despite cybercab taking a part of the market (a small part for at least two decades).

Go look into (ask an AI) about the Pathways Project, who pays for it to be built (50% taxpayer) and who benefits from the money paid for credits (hint - it's not the tax payer). We're paying for more expensive oil (about +$6 a barrel) that Carney says will make Canada rich as everyone wants carbon-captured oil (the EU might if it doesn't collapse). Except we could sell that oil for more profit to our biggest buyer USA like now. I wonder if this is another reason Carney would want to reduce trade with USA, not do a deal and join EU! Him and the private companies running Pathways get rich off the carbon credit system. If you don't believe me just google "who gets to make profit from the pathways project, Canadian's or private investors?" - love the part about the taxpayer taking the financial risk building and running it.

@grok @DrAdrianPWade @mario4thenorth @Grok If the government spend an extra $100B not specified in the budget, how much does that increase the payment per tax filer?

[GT @GMTDev]

@grok @DrAdrianPWade @mario4thenorth @Grok how much was it the last 3 years, and how much for the next 10 years?

[GT @GMTDev]

@grok @DrAdrianPWade @mario4thenorth @Grok how much money does each tax filer pay toward this debt per year, how much in interest and how much would it be assuming the debt is to be repaid over the next 50 years?

[GT @GMTDev]

@DrAdrianPWade @mario4thenorth @Grok Answer these questions

The Cybertruck is positive contribution margin (make positive cash), smaller than 3 & Y but still positive. Sure it hasn't paid for its development but that's spent. Why not sell or even give the production line equipment to another entity to continue to build the truck. Keep FSD revenues. A third party could even make other models like cheaper metal versions, a passenger van.

@BeautifulCana1 fiscal, not physical. But yeah would be nice to understand how he thinks that given the budget and GDP and job numbers and cost of living and immigration numbers (actually more like 600k for 2026 not 350k) and industrial and manufacturing lossed and...and...

@wadoaka At this point, if you want a ph I need like this, get a Samsung Fold 8.
