Canada’s EV shift: Beyond U.S. trade ties

February 5, 2025

As the North American auto sector faces unprecedented challenges, spurred in large part by former President Donald Trump’s aggressive trade policies, Canada finds itself at a crossroads. Trump’s strategy to fortify a domesticated American auto industry has sent ripples across borders, prompting Canada to reconsider its economic alliances and environmental commitments. In light of these developments, it may be time for Canada to chart a new course, embracing a green future that welcomes electric vehicles (EVs) from Europe and even China.

News: Carney calls Trump’s tariffs on vehicles ‘a direct attack’ on Canada and its auto workers

February 7, 2025

Trump’s approach to the auto industry, characterized by protectionism and high tariffs, has created an unstable environment for Canadian automakers. With tariffs on steel, aluminum, and electric vehicles, Canada faces increasing costs and competitive disadvantages, threatening the viability of its auto sector. The U.S. administration’s focus on bringing manufacturing back to American soil has left Canada with dwindling options and a pressing need to diversify its economic partnerships.

In this context, the opportunity to rethink Canada’s green future is both timely and necessary. The global shift towards sustainable transportation presents a chance for Canada to align its policies with environmental goals, reducing reliance on fossil fuels and promoting cleaner energy. Electric vehicles are at the forefront of this movement, and international manufacturers offer promising alternatives.

February 5, 2025

European EVs: Europe has long been a leader in environmental regulations and innovation, producing high-quality electric vehicles that meet stringent standards. By strengthening ties with European automakers, Canada can benefit from advanced technology and sustainable practices, positioning itself as a leader in the green transition.

Chinese EVs: China, with its rapid advancements in electric vehicle technology, presents another viable option. Companies like BYD have made significant strides, offering affordable, environmentally friendly vehicles that could significantly boost EV adoption in Canada. Despite political tensions, the economic and environmental benefits of engaging with Chinese manufacturers are compelling.

Friday February 7, 2025

It is clear that maintaining the status quo with the U.S. is no longer sustainable for Canada’s auto industry. The need to pursue independent economic policies that prioritize Canada’s interests has never been more apparent. By reconsidering tariffs and fostering partnerships with Europe and China, Canada can secure its place in the global green economy.

This strategic realignment would not only support Canada’s environmental objectives but also provide consumers with more choices and competitive pricing. Allowing more affordable EVs into the Canadian market would accelerate the transition from gasoline vehicles, reducing emissions and promoting sustainability.

Analysis: Should Canada ease its 100% tariff on electric vehicles from China amid trade war with U.S.?

December 19, 2024

As Canada stands at the precipice of change, the decision to embrace a new path is not just an economic necessity but an opportunity to lead in the fight against climate change. By welcoming European and Chinese electric vehicles, Canada can redefine its future, ensuring a resilient and sustainable auto industry that aligns with its environmental values. In this pivotal moment, Canada has the chance to set a precedent for innovation and collaboration, paving the way for a truly green future.

A Green Lining?

As I sat down to sketch this editorial cartoon, I can’t help but feel like I’m venturing into risky, perhaps even crazy, territory. Our usual product is cynicism, and there’s plenty of that to go around with the grim prospect of Trump’s trade tariffs threatening to decimate the Canadian auto sector. Trump’s intentions seem clear, telegraphed with the precision of a maestro conducting an orchestra of chaos. But as I contemplate the future, a flicker of opportunity emerges – in tandem with the silver lining that’s rallied Canadians around the flag.

Before the Biden administration pressured Canada into imposing tariffs on Chinese-built EVs, there was an intriguing development. The President of Ford Canada couldn’t hide his admiration for a Chinese model. According to Car and Driver, Ford CEO Jim Farley, in a surprising confession, revealed that he had been driving a Xiaomi SU7, imported from Shanghai, and he didn’t want to give it up. His words, a radical acknowledgment of the competitive threat posed by Chinese automakers like Xiaomi and BYD, resonate in this new reality.

While politicians play the wait-and-see game with Trump, wondering if his tariff brinkmanship is mere leverage or a harbinger of “Liberation Day” on April 2nd, the consequences loom large. If Trump’s gambit unfolds as feared, the carnage will be swift and severe, leaving American car sales in Canada in tatters. They’ll become costly relics, fossil-fuelled dinosaurs in an era that increasingly favours electric innovation.

It’s hard to imagine this scenario just months ago, but here we are. The idea of embracing Chinese EVs doesn’t seem so far-fetched anymore. They’re electric, highly rated, and affordable. In contrast, our closest ally has turned adversarial, seemingly intent on causing harm. The notion of leaning into a new partnership, once unthinkable, now seems like a reasonable course of action in a world reshaped by Trump’s unpredictable maneuvers.

As I draw, I embrace the riskiness of these thoughts. Maybe it’s crazy, but in the unfolding new reality that Trump is orchestrating, it doesn’t seem so outlandish after all.

Exhaust-pipe dreams – Canada’s EV shift, Mar. 31

Thursday April 3, 2025

Cartoonist Graeme MacKay nailed it. The North American auto sector doesn’t care about EVs — except to the extent that EVs threaten their lucrative business of keeping internal combustion engines running. In this, it has found common cause with the fossil fuel industry, which also stands to lose out as the public increasingly recognizes the superiority of EVs.

We see evidence for the North American auto sector’s duplicity in its move to change its rapid-charging standard from the global Combined Charging System to Tesla’s previously proprietary plug, a move that makes no sense except as a tactic to dissuade people from purchasing EVs. Yet it does provide an opening for the Canadian government to fight back in U.S. President Donald Trump’s trade war, by insisting that all EVs made in Canada use CCS and that all new EVs sold in Canada be compatible with CCS.

Of course, that would require a federal government that’s willing to stand up to corporate interests, so it won’t happen.

Donald Trump: Dirtiest U.S. President Ever

Donald Trump: Dirtiest U.S. President Ever

Make Pollution Great Again

Friday February 14, 2025 | Newsletter 15

While everyone is suffering daily whiplash from the unpredictable actions of the attention-seeking U.S. President, who dictates what we should focus on, I chose this week to shine a light on his abysmal environmental record. Each day, I posted a past editorial cartoon featuring Donald Trump, highlighting his horrific efforts to turn back the clock on progress toward a better planet for future generations.

Throughout his first term, Donald Trump’s actions and policies consistently undermined efforts to protect the environment, setting a dangerous precedent for his potential return to the presidency. This week, we explored his abysmal record through a series of editorial cartoons from that period, illustrating his disregard for ecological integrity. The horrors unleashed during his first term foreshadow an even more troubling future, as there is no indication that his stewardship of the planet will improve.

Sunday: The Legacy of Plastic Pollution

“This is Your Life in Single Use Plastics” (April 24, 2018)

This cartoon highlights the long-lasting impact of plastic waste, showcasing how every piece of disposable plastic carries a story tied to human experiences. During his first term, Trump’s push to roll back environmental protections, including regulations on single-use plastics, exemplifies a neglect of sustainable practices. In one of his early executive orders of his second Presidency he triumphantly put to end perhaps the greatest among the most ridiculous first world problems: paper straws. It was met with roaring cheers within the planet’s greatest throw-away society. His prioritization of short-term political gains over environmental responsibility signals a troubling trend that jeopardizes future generations.

Monday: Make Coal Great Again

Trump: Polluter of the Skies (November 23, 2016)

In this cartoon, Trump is depicted as a giant figure overshadowing a polluted landscape, emphasizing his commitment to reviving the declining coal industry while Canada advanced in reducing carbon emissions. Throughout his first term, Trump rolled back critical environmental regulations to support fossil fuels. This focus on short-term economic interests, at the expense of climate change and public health, raises serious concerns about what awaits in his upcoming term.

Tuesday: Attacking the Great Lakes

Trump at the Great Lakes (March 8, 2017)

In this cartoon, Trump is shown dismantling the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative, a critical program for protecting one of the world’s largest freshwater resources. His proposed budget cuts of up to 97% during his first term endangered restoration efforts vital for millions. This negligence toward clean water initiatives highlights a persistent trend of environmental degradation, suggesting that his future policies may continue to disregard essential ecological stewardship.

Wednesday: Withdrawing from Global Climate Agreements

“America First, Planet Last” (June 2, 2017)

This imagery illustrates Trump’s decision to withdraw from the Paris Climate Agreement, depicting him as a direct threat to global climate efforts. His exit during his first term positioned the U.S. as an outlier, undermining international cooperation essential for combating climate change. The ramifications of this withdrawal continue to echo, and with Trump’s return to office, American multilateralism isn’t in the backseat as it was in Trump’s first term, it’s tied up and muzzled in the trunk. There is zero reason to believe he will prioritize global climate responsibility.

Thursday: Flaming Misinformation

Trump Surrounded by Wildfire and Misinformation (September 15, 2020)

In the midst of devastating wildfires during his first term, Trump dismissed climate change as a factor, attributing the crisis solely to mismanagement. This cartoon captures the chaos and denial surrounding his administration’s approach to environmental issues. By downplaying the role of climate change, Trump perpetuates misinformation that obstructs meaningful dialogue and action on pressing ecological challenges—a trend that’s already been on repeat in 2025 with the devastating fires in southern California and around Los Angeles.

Friday: America’s Conspiracy Theory President

Politicizing Natural Disasters (October 9, 2024)

This cartoon illustrates the absurdity of politicizing natural disasters, highlighting the dangerous rhetoric employed by Trump and others. As Hurricanes tore through Florida and into North Carolina in October 2024, the sight of politicians leveraging human suffering for their gain was a stark reminder of how far we have strayed from the ideals of public service. The portrayal suggests that as disasters arise, Trump may exploit them for political gain, rather than addressing the underlying environmental issues exacerbated by his policies. His actions to advance conspiracy theories reflect a broader pattern of misinformation and of neglect that not only impacts public trust in essential services but also threatens the planet’s future.

An unveiling… Drum Roll Please…

My hope is the editorial cartoons from this week highlight the environmental issues worsened by Donald Trump’s presidency. His focus on short-term economic gains continues to harm efforts to protect our planet. This has fuelled climate change skepticism, especially with support from figures like Canada’s Conservative leader, Pierre Poilievre, creating challenges for initiatives like the Liberal carbon pricing scheme. Although this scheme was designed to reduce emissions, it has faced pushback due to poor communication and relentless and simplistic political rhetoric.

Last year, to celebrate the 4th anniversary of my viral “waves” cartoon, I came up with two new wave concepts to follow the biodiversity collapse wave: a Zombie Apocalypse and an Alien Invasion. But then, along came Michael Solomon, director of London based Profit Through Ethics Ltd., who proposed a new idea for the fifth wave. With excitement, we unveil a new fifth wave for the fifth anniversary of the illustration.

Drumroll, please …Trump! A fitting representation of the political upheaval that threatens not just environmental protection but the planet in general. To the many skeptics out there, keep washing your hands, and all will be well….

Update: the above illustration is the focus of a March 11, 2025 post

The “Four Waves” cartoon illustrates the growing crises we face, culminating in this new wave of political turmoil. As we reflect on these issues, it’s vital to advocate for accountability and prioritize environmental care for future generations. With Trump currently in office, we need to stay alert to the threats posed to our environment. I hope this series serves as a reminder of the importance of being actively engaged in the fight for sustainable solutions for our planet.

As the Climate Crisis Worsens, COP29 Feels Like a Show Without Substance

November 18, 2022

As COP29 opens in Azerbaijan, this year’s UN climate summit has quickly become less about hope and more about the world’s inability—or unwillingness—to unite on the climate crisis. The event has turned into a forum of empty promises and political theatrics, leaving little to encourage those looking for serious, concrete action. With catastrophic climate events mounting worldwide and the incoming U.S. administration preparing to withdraw from the Paris Accord, we are rapidly moving from a critical juncture to a dangerous decline in global climate cooperation.

The backdrop to COP29 is a world grappling with relentless climate disasters. In the U.S., North Carolina was battered by unprecedented flooding, while wildfires and smoke in California and New York have turned once-safe communities into danger zones. Across the Atlantic, Spain’s Valencia recently experienced its worst floods in modern history. Scientists warn that each year of inaction accelerates the damage, yet the atmosphere at COP29 is anything but urgent. This is underscored by the absence of major players. President Joe Biden skipped the conference altogether following Trump’s election victory, while China sent only a deputy and the European Commission’s President Ursula von der Leyen stayed away entirely.

News: Why Is a Petrostate Holding This Year’s Climate Talks?

December 17, 2022

Without the presence of such key world leaders, the climate talks risk becoming what frustrated observers see as little more than a stage for empty rhetoric. That’s further compounded by the rhetoric from Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev, who used his keynote to lambast Western critics of his country’s oil industry rather than championing true climate action. His speech, coupled with remarks from UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres about the absurdity of doubling down on fossil fuels, shows the fractured reality: a tug-of-war between national interests and the well-being of the planet.

With climate finance taking centre stage, wealthy nations are once again being called to pay a fair share. For more than a decade, these countries have promised, and often failed, to mobilize $100 billion per year to support developing nations in mitigating climate impacts and shifting to cleaner energy. Canada, for instance, increased its pledge to $5.3 billion over five years, a figure that many argue is far too modest for the nation’s historical emissions contribution. Even with some countries pushing for increased commitments, the existing funding falls drastically short of the UN’s estimated need of $1.46 trillion annually by 2030—a figure that dwarfs current pledges and feels insurmountable given the economic and political landscapes.

News: COP29 climate summit host Azerbaijan lashes out at West in defence of oil and gas industry

November 10, 2021

Reader responses capture the growing discontent: many Canadians feel their tax dollars are being wasted on foreign climate pledges while fossil fuel subsidies at home keep the industry alive and well. Despite climate commitments, Canada continues to hand billions in subsidies to oil and gas sectors, mirroring a broader global hypocrisy. Meanwhile, developing nations who suffer the harshest climate impacts are left struggling to access funds while shouldering mounting debts.

Casting a dark shadow over COP29 is the election of Donald Trump, who has vowed to withdraw the U.S. from the Paris Accord for the second time. This move threatens to destabilize any fragile climate consensus and will make America, the world’s largest historic carbon emitter, a climate rogue. With the U.S. pivoting away from international climate commitments, other nations may follow suit, leaving the Paris Accord toothless. Trump’s resurgence has emboldened climate denial and encouraged other fossil fuel interests, making it seem as though the world is stepping backward just as the effects of climate change become impossible to ignore.

One of the most damning aspects of the climate negotiations is the dual-track approach to funding. On one hand, wealthy nations direct money to initiatives like the Green Climate Fund, which funds renewable energy projects in low-income countries. On the other, these same countries funnel billions into fossil fuel subsidies to maintain their own energy security and economy. This two-faced approach not only undercuts climate finance but undermines the entire notion of a “green transition.” These contradictions leave everyday people wondering if the “green” in “green transition” refers more to money than to true environmental commitment.

News: How much does Canada owe in climate aid? A trillion-dollar question headlines COP29

November 4, 2023

Adding insult to injury, many climate finance contributions come as loans rather than grants, which traps poorer countries in debt rather than giving them the tools to build strong, independent green economies. Despite Canada’s pledge to move toward a 50-50 split between grants and loans, this ratio falls far short of the 60-40 split advocated by environmental groups. For small island nations and low-income countries already crippled by climate impacts, these loans feel like a betrayal.

The tragedy of COP29 is not just that it’s failing to deliver, but that it risks becoming irrelevant. With other global priorities—security, economic inflation, geopolitical conflicts—taking precedence, the climate crisis is slipping down the agenda for the countries most responsible for the damage. If wealthy nations remain unwilling to either act at home or support vulnerable nations abroad, the question will become not how we stop the climate crisis, but how we survive it.

July 30, 2024

The reality is bleak. In a world where wealthy nations hedge their bets on fossil fuel stability while paying lip service to climate goals, climate summits like COP29 become pageants of performative diplomacy rather than engines of change. The urgency of the climate crisis demands more than grandstanding; it requires coordinated global sacrifice and an unwavering commitment to real, painful change. Until world leaders confront their own contradictions and take true responsibility, every COP will be a hollow gathering of bluster, hypocrisy, and lost opportunity.

It’s time for action, not theatrics. We may not get another chance.

As COP29 opens in Azerbaijan, the climate summit spotlights a series of contradictions that paint a picture more of hypocrisy than of hope. In his keynote, Azerbaijan’s President Ilham Aliyev dismissed Western criticisms of his country’s oil reliance as “slander and blackmail.” His stance underscores the global paradox—leaders encourage a green transition but often default to fossil fuels, not least in resource-rich nations.

UN Secretary-General António Guterres followed Aliyev’s speech with a stark call-out: doubling down on fossil fuels, he argued, is an “absurd” strategy. Yet Guterres’s critique applies globally, not least to Canada, where green rhetoric runs headlong into the hard numbers: in 2023 alone, Ottawa shelled out over $18.6 billion in subsidies for fossil fuels, including billions for the Trans Mountain pipeline, financing for exports, and carbon capture ventures. Canada might fancy itself a climate champion, but it remains deeply invested in its petrostate reality.

Meanwhile, COP29’s developing-world attendees are justified in their frustration. They’ve been promised that wealthy countries would mobilize $100 billion annually since 2009 for climate adaptation. That goal, missed for years and only achieved in 2022, barely scratches the surface of what’s needed. It’s telling that even the Taliban—a group not often linked to environmental progress—arrived at COP29, urging wealthy nations to compensate for a crisis they “created.” That irony is rich, as is the uneasy spectacle of the world’s most powerful nations discussing climate finance in the luxurious halls of Baku.

But the circus hardly ends there. Despite promises of “sacrifice for the planet,” leaders in wealthier nations backslide when convenient—case in point, Justin Trudeau’s carve-out for home heating oil subsidies to placate Atlantic Canadian voters. As developing nations and vulnerable communities around the world brace for more severe climate impacts, it’s hard not to question whether the COP model, given its current direction, serves the world’s climate needs or is just window-dressing for yet another round of political expediency.

With the return of a climate-skeptic U.S. administration and high-profile absences from global leaders, COP29 feels more like a fractious forum for unmet promises and entrenched interests than the decisive moment we need. The stakes for climate action have never been higher, but with fossil fuel subsidies unabated and key leaders disengaged, the question lingers: can this COP deliver anything more than lip service to a rapidly worsening crisis?

Confronting the Flames of Climate Denial: A Call to Action in the Face of Escalating Wildfires

June 8, 2023

As wildfires begin to ravage Canada, leaving destruction and devastation in their wake, it’s time to confront a different kind of blaze—one fuelled not by dry vegetation and high winds, but by misinformation and climate denialism.

News: Wildfires surging in the western provinces

In the wake of yet another record-breaking wildfire season, it’s alarming to see the persistence of skepticism and denial regarding the role of climate change in these disasters. As outlined in Drew Anderson’s article “What causes wildfires? Lightning, people, climate change … and obsessively putting them out” from June 27, 2023, wildfires in Canada are often the result of a combination of factors, including human activity, such as off-road vehicles and campfires, and climate change-induced conditions like hot, dry weather and drought.

The Narwal: What causes wildfires? Lightning, people, climate change … and obsessively putting them out

January 10, 2024

Last year’s wildfires in British Columbia, Alberta, and the North Western Territories, as documented by CBC News in their report “Raging wildfires threatening western Canada force thousands to evacuate” on May 13, 2024, left thousands under evacuation orders and resulted in the destruction of vast swaths of land. This year, as reported by CBC News, the situation remains dire, with wildfires once again forcing evacuations and threatening communities across the region.

Yet, despite the evidence staring us in the face, there are still those who refuse to acknowledge the truth about climate change and its role in exacerbating wildfire risks. This skepticism is not only misguided; it’s dangerous.

January 31, 2023

The spread of misinformation and conspiracy theories, as highlighted in Olivia Rudgard and Daniel Zuidijk’s article from August 22, 2023, only adds fuel to the fire. False narratives about the origins of wildfires, from claims of arson to bizarre theories about space lasers, continue to proliferate on social media platforms, undermining efforts to address the root causes of these disasters and implement meaningful solutions.

News: Wildfires and Extreme Weather Are Driving Climate Denialism Online

As we face another potentially devastating wildfire season, it’s imperative that we confront climate denialism head-on. This means challenging false narratives, educating the public about the realities of climate change, and holding accountable those who seek to sow doubt and confusion for their own gain.

July 29, 2023

But confronting climate denialism is not enough. We must also take decisive action to address the underlying drivers of wildfires, including reducing greenhouse gas emissions, promoting sustainable land management practices, and investing in wildfire prevention and mitigation efforts.

The time for complacency is over. As wildfires continue to rage across Canada, we must heed the warnings of scientists, listen to the voices of affected communities, and unite in the fight against climate change. The flames of denial may burn bright, but with determination and resolve, we can extinguish them once and for all, and pave the way for a safer, more sustainable future for all. (AI)

The Frustration of Steven Guilbeault, Once an Activist, Now a Minister Facing Carbon Tax Flip-Flops

October 28, 2021

Steven Guilbeault, Canada’s Environment Minister, faces a perplexing shift within the Liberal government, causing internal conflict with his former activist stance on climate change. The recent about-face in policy decisions appears to be a move aimed at reviving plummeting polls, especially in Atlantic Canada. Guilbeault, who once championed climate change causes, may find himself increasingly frustrated by the governmental reversals he’s now a part of.

A month ago, Guilbeault adamantly stood by the federal mandate for a net-zero power grid by 2035, dismissing requests from Alberta for an extended timeline. This firm stance faced opposition from Alberta’s Environment Minister, Rebecca Schulz, and Premier Danielle Smith, who vocally criticized the Clean Electricity Regulations (CER) as impractical and disconnected from reality, potentially leading to blackouts in a province heavily reliant on natural gas.

Analysis: Playing defence on the carbon tax has put Trudeau’s Liberals on the defensive

February 3, 2023

Guilbeault, defending the federal regulation, emphasized the necessity to avoid exceptions for provinces, highlighting the importance of a unified approach across the federation. However, the subsequent announcement of an exemption for home-heating oil in Atlantic Canada saw a complete reversal from the federal government’s firm stance. This shift provoked further demands from other provinces, including Saskatchewan and Alberta, for similar exemptions in their regions.

The stark contrast between Guilbeault’s initial commitment and the recent exemptions, particularly for home-heating oil, suggests a significant departure from the consistent climate-focused policies he once advocated for. The exemptions raised concerns about the logical inconsistency and fairness of the carbon tax application. This move has left the Liberals in a defensive position, contradicting their previous arguments about the carbon tax rebate.

The internal discord within the Liberal government and the public critique underscore the complexity of policy implementation and the pressure faced by the Liberals to address concerns in Atlantic Canada. Despite the ongoing debates and mounting pressure for additional exemptions, Guilbeault maintains a resolute stance against further carve-outs as long as he holds the environment minister position.

Opinion: Trudeau’s new carbon pricing rules are really a not so subtle bribe

October 28, 2023

The Liberals’ strategy to navigate the current political storm remains unclear. While attempting to address concerns in Atlantic Canada, the exemptions granted may have inadvertently compounded the challenges faced by the government, inviting criticism and intensifying the existing political turbulence.

Ultimately, the government’s recent decisions seem to have created more complexities than resolutions, fostering doubts about the coherence and consistency of their climate policy agenda. As Guilbeault, once an advocate, grapples with these policy shifts, the government faces an uphill battle to justify their recent actions while maintaining the integrity of their climate initiatives.
