Hats off to those with hope for the species.

I just can't bring myself to believe in Miracles, especially in the face of blind human greed.

Yeah fuck Canada ig

Edit: just to clarify, the Canadian government gave them more than half a billion for the EV retrofit. Guess that's all money pissed into the wind now.

That's the worst part imho. We should hold Ford accountable and demand that money back if they unilaterally decide to axe the plan we collectively funded.

Ford is just doing what oil industry is making them do. As more people buy more electric cars, the number of these big-ass vanity throne ships will increase to offset the lost revenue for oil industry.

Meanwhile Chinese companies dominate the world in EVs and with developments such as this they will go virtually unchallenged.

BYD already has plants in Canada. I'd really appreciate if they just expanded their Canadian footprint - good Canadian jobs, cheap EVs, win-win-win.
