I won't get the rebate because I didn't reserve until 05 April 2016. My guess is that I will not see an invite for at least another six weeks.
The election is essentially eight weeks away.
The EV rebate program is viewed by my family, friends and local neighbors as a handout to rich folks.
Right or wrong, that is how it is viewed, politically.
Dougie will get rid of that program as fast as Mike Harris got rid of another politically unpopular program, photo radar, back in the 1990s.
It will be seen by his core constituents as "action against the elites" and "cutting government waste".
It will, of course, have no real effect on the strategic economic issues facing the province, but that does not matter.
Only swift two dimensional action will be seen as a cure for what, supposedly, ails the province.
I've been saying for the past two years not to count on this rebate in one's financial plan for this car.
If you get it, it's the cherry on top.
