A new federal government poll reveals deep public skepticism toward proposed electric vehicle sales mandates, with just over a third of Canadians expressing support for the policy. The findings highlight a significant divide over whether forcing automakers to meet strict EV quotas is the right approach to transitioning away from gasoline-powered cars. Critics argue the measures could drive up costs for consumers, while supporters maintain they are necessary to combat climate change. The results underscore the political challenges ahead as lawmakers weigh the balance between environmental goals and economic concerns.
