Why Carney's $2.3-billion EV program is vibes over reality
Description
Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer discuss Carney government's multi-billion dollar auto industry strategy, and its attempt to walk back unrealistic EV mandates while preserving Ottawa's climate commitments. They critique how the policy will create a captive market that will lead to less consumer choice and higher prices. In the second half, they discuss major developments this week in the world of Artificial Intelligence and what it means for different industries and workers, including the so-called "laptop class."
