Prime Minister Mark Carney just unveiled a new auto strategy—and the debate started immediately: did Canada ditch the EV mandate… or just rename it? From rebates and emissions standards to tariffs and trade realities, this episode breaks down what’s really being signaled.

Paul is joined by Jim, again, to unpack the political messaging vs. the practical impacts on Canadian workers, buyers, and industry.

In this episode:
• Carney’s shift from “mandate” to fuel-efficiency credits—and why critics call it a hidden tax
• The 75% EV-by-2035 push, and whether infrastructure can realistically support it
• Billions in funding + incentives: rebates, tax measures, retooling, and who benefits
• The trade pivot: CUSMA pressure, tariffs, and what “Team Canada” could mean for auto jobs
• Why steel, aluminum, and energy may be Canada’s real leverage in the months ahead
