@mtbarra Do you really not know why Canadian want Chinese EVs? Perhaps because it feels like North American auto makers have been reluctant at best to moving to EVs or at worst abandoned EVs. We want affordable quality EVs. If you will not make them then we should be able to…

… get EVs from someone willing to make them.
I am a Bolt owner. I love it. But will likely never buy another GM car again due to what feels like you taking advantage of us. Subscription fees for stuff we should be able to use and getting rid of CarPlay so we have to pay a …

To @BillGates @tim_cook @sama and the rest of you tech CEOs. What an absolute disgrace you are with your sycophantic displays toward a criminal, a fascist, authoritarian, and a bully @realDonaldTrump I suppose money is worth cozying up to a traitor. The world is fucked. Thanks.

Hey @CNN @MSNBC @FoxNews can someone in your news programs please tell that f**king imbecile @realDonaldTrump how trade works. Canada is NOT subsidized by the US. We are not the 51st State.

Out of sight, out of good ideas @Sflecce ? Did you even ask a teacher about your complex plan? @fordnation #teacher #ontario #cellphoneban
It’s raining in Huntsville but I am very happy to report that @IvyCharge has finally replaced the chargers. These are working fine. Thank you. A suggestion though - put in more.

Waiting in a line of cars to charge at @IvyCharge in Gravenhurst. One of the three not working. Hasn’t been working for months. Time to put more chargers in. The demand is there.

As we moved towards Confederation, many different names were proposed for the new country that we call Canada.
Some were interesting, some were pretty weird.
Let's explore them!
Albertsland: This name honoured Prince Albert, the husband of Queen Victoria.
Albionora: Albion was an alternative name for Great Britain, so we would have been Albion Of the North. New Albion was also suggested.
Borealia: This was suggested because borealis was Latin for northern. Plus, the aurora borealis are pretty great.
Britannia: This one is pretty obvious.
Cabotia: This was suggested to honour John Cabot, who reached the shores of present-day Canada in 1497.
Colonia: Because we were a colony.
Efisga: This was an acronym of English, French, Irish, Scottish, German and Aboriginal.
Hochelaga: This comes from the Haudenosaunee word for "beaver path" or "big rapids". It was also the name of a thriving Haudenosaunee village on the island of what is now Montreal.
Laurentia: This was suggested due to the Laurentian Mountains, which derive their name from the St. Lawrence River.
Mesopelagia: This name means "land between the seas"
Norland: This was simply North and Land combined into one word.
Superior: This name came from Lake Superior.
Tupona: In choosing this name, it was simply an acronym of The United Provinces of North America.
Transatlantica: We are across the Atlantic from Britain, so, trans-Atlantic.
Ursalia: This means "place of bears"
Vesperia: This comes from Roman mythology and means "land of the evening star"
Victorialand: This was suggested to honour Queen Victoria.

Rivian CEO: “I think the reality of buying a combustion-powered vehicle is sort of like building a horse barn in 1910; Imagine buying a Chevy Suburban in 2030 … what are you going to do with that …in 10 years? Gas stations will be slowly disappearing; It’s just weird.”
Wondering @FLOevchargingCA @IvyCharge when will you be switching to power used billing vs time billing. I know the law has been changed so you can. That would be a very good thing.
