True North founder Candice Malcolm takes to the airwaves to talk about the latest headlines, conduct in-depth interviews and dive into stories the mainstream media won't touch.
On today’s episode of The Candice Malcolm Show, guest host Kris Sims is joined by Dan McTeague, President of Canadians for Affordable Energy, to break down a major policy reversal from Prime Minister Mark Carney.
Carney has announced his government will delay the electric vehicle sales quota that was set to force dealerships to make 20% of all new car sales battery-powered by 2026. The controversial mandate would have driven up costs, restricted consumer choice, and left dealers stuck with unsold stock. After months of pushback from taxpayers, industry, and ordinary Canadians, Carney has blinked — but only partially.
As Kris and Dan explain, the delay is a tactical retreat, not a victory. EV demand is collapsing without subsidies, Canada’s grid cannot support mass electrification, and the uncertainty continues to hurt dealers and investors. Meanwhile, Ottawa’s broader climate agenda — including the industrial carbon tax, clean fuel standard, and production caps — still threaten jobs and affordability across the country.
Kris and Dan dig into why the mandate was doomed from the start, how public pressure forced Carney’s hand, and what Canadians must do to ensure the policy is scrapped completely.
