Fairly convinced that is the objective at this point. Forcing regular Cdns into reducing their carbon footprint due to unaffordability. Less people being able to afford vacations outside of Canada, heck, even outside of our own provinces. Pushing pricy EVs will lead to less drivers on the roads while they push public transportation, especially in urban centers. Eating meat will be a luxury for few while they bring in insect burgers.
We're going to need Cuban ingenuity in the future with backyard mechanics being able to keep ICEs on the roads. Meanwhile, the rich and privileged, like our very own PM, will continue with their carbon soaking lifestyles and their fancy vacations, private jets and mega yachts. Basically real life Hunger Games in the making.
