You should check out the abandoned well situation in Alberta. Likely to cost Canadian tax payers up to 100 billion to clean up as those companies shouldn't be expected to clean up their mess. Some of those wells are also giving off toxic fumes. Also check out the unpaid land taxes in Alberta for those same wells, because why should oil companies pay land taxes.
Not to mention the massive amount of land given to mining bitumen.

Only 49,000 Chinese electric cars getting imported into Canada right now. This is likely to increase if America screws up the CUSMA deal as looks likely.

You don't think that how the environment, things like plastic being similar to estrogen, affects vertebrates is important? Perhaps you need to learn some biology or at least recognize your lack of knowledge.

It's a big country. OTOH, 3 of the 4 best transit systems in N. America are in Canada, with only NYC doing better.

There's one western nation that has slavery enshrined in its Constitution.

So they're much like Christians, except a better heaven.

Except they're taxing at a much higher rate compared to the average gas tax, at least in America where the gas tax is generally very low. Politics.

Some states are taxing EV's at a few hundred a year already, much more then if paying the gas tax. https://taxfoundation.org/data... look at the middle column. Somehow it has become political.

Perhaps your one of the people that electric doesn't work for you, what with one of your main pleasures being driving.
Me, I hate driving now, my leg hurts from the clutch, my hip hurts from sitting and I'd rather not drive any more then needed. Last road trip, I found myself stopping at every rest stop for 10-15 minutes to stretch and everyone of those rest stops had a couple of unused level 2 or 3 chargers, so I'd love to be able to afford to go electric. Obviously you and I are quite different when it comes to driving and electric just doesn't work for you. I was the same when young, jump in the truck and go on a multi day drive, often where there weren't hardly any gas stations.

The American auto companies are much more scary then the Chinese ones. It is America who keeps starting wars, threatening to annex various countries and waging economic war on friendly countries. It is also American companies that have the profit motive to sell all the data they can and likely will happily sell to the Chinese government as well as other governments.

Breaking the DRM is illegal in most jurisdictions due to the Americans insisting on it as part of trade deals. Illegally acquired rips would be considered piracy, even if no one cares. I know I don't care and neither does my government but strictly speaking, it is illegal.

Most of the trip to the Moon is uphill, so not falling, rather a ballistic trajectory. Think of throwing a rock 10 metres up. Spends a second going up, stops, and falls down for a second. We don't call that first second falling. Coasting is maybe the best word.

Here's an article on someone with XY chromosomes, a man according to various authorities, who with some medical help, used their own eggs to get pregnant and deliver twins. Article says woman, but we all know that XY means a genetic man.

Just have to convince the jury that you have reason not to like a law and they can nullify it.

Is sailing the high seas in search of music actually illegal there, rather then a civil offence? Where I am, every time I buy a blank cassette or CDR, the *AA get a cut, supposedly to share with the musicians and writers, therefore the courts have ruled copying music for personal use is legal.
Sharing movies does mean you can sued for the cost of buying it on a DVD.
What the law does come down is counterfeiting others IP and selling it.
