I think the task for everyone in this forum today should be to sent an email like this to Ms McKenna requesting a federal rebate/tax credit. The liberals can do something big here, provide funding/tax relief to taxpayers that will actually benefit the environment.Here's what I just emailed the Environment Minister:
Subject: EV rebate: when will the Liberal government step in with its own, progressive EV incentive
Hi Ms. McKenna,
I live in your riding in Ottawa Centre. I want to buy an electric car (EV) to reduce my carbon footprint. The Ford government has just cancelled its EHVIP program. This affects if I can make the switch from fossil fuel burning vehicle to a clean EV. You have said that such a policy would put $420 million of federal funding at risk.
I'm writing to ask you if and when the federal government will step in and do what's right for the environment and support a federal EV rebate program to incentivize people like myself to buy electric cars and contribute to Canada's GHGE targets. You could use this $420 million as one source of funds for what would be a popular and important initiative. Not to mention, this would offset some of the Liberal government's contradictory focus on pipelines and fossil fuel projects.
Please let me know what you plan to do.
Thank you,
Strength in numbers.
