   No... that's "used". You can play your faggot Canadian bullshit semantics   
   games all you want... you are NOT helping your cause, which, for the life of   
   me, escapes us all.   
      
   WHY are you arguing? What was posted is the truth. WHY are you arguing against   
   the truth?   
      
   Because you're embarrassed to be a Cuntnadian liberal. Why argue, even with   
   the bullshit semantics? You know "spent" doesn't necessarily mean that ALL of   
   the money allotted has been doled out, but you DO know what ALLOCATION means,   
   so now, you're just arguing to show everybody how smart you THINK you are.   
      
   Everyone here knows you can't win... in your head doesn't count.   
      
   NO ONE here thinks you ever "won", since we ALL know your arguments are often   
   off topic, focusing only the peripheral.

   Can you show us where ANYONE said "Trudeau and JUST the liberals"?   
      
   Explain to us all, that "... a combination of federal and provincial taxpayer   
   commitments" means "all" or "only" liberals.   
      
   Explain to us all, that "... a combination of federal and provincial taxpayer   
   commitments" means "any" Conservatives?   
      
   NO ONE here is stupid enough to believe that liberals were the only party to   
   vote on such a measure, but that does NOT make the statement false:   
      
   "Under Trudeau The Liberals Spent Over $50 Billion On The EV Auto Sector"   
      
   Trudeau was in the liberal party, yes?   
      
   Yes.   
      
   Did Trudeau have final say   
      
   And don't give me any bullshit about Trudeau and the liberals getting out of   
   being blamed for the EV debacle because of that most archaic of symbolic   
   gestures, the "Royal Assent", whereas the bills are signed off by the Governor   
   General, acting on behalf of the British Monarch (currently King Charles III).   
      
   The Prime Minister's Office (PMO) holds all the power.   
      
   > 2. Not all actually spent.   
      
   But it was ALLOCATED. Oh... and tell us EXACTLY how you know it wasn't all   
   spent? Even if it wasn't, the taxpayer is NOT going to see any of that money   
   ever again. It will be RE-allocated and probably to a project that will, no   
   doubt lose money.   
      
   The government is still pouring billions into subsidies:   
      
   Sunk Costs: Billions have already been committed to battery plants   
   (Volkswagen, Stellantis) that were negotiated under Trudeau.   
      
   Market Reality: In 2025, EV sales in Canada dropped to just 8% after federal   
   incentives ran out.   
      
   New Spending: On February 5,2026, Carney announced a $2.3 billion "EV   
   Affordability Program" and another $1.5 billion for chargers. Your troll might   
   argue this "saves" the industry, but from a "power user" fiscal perspective,   
   it's essentially a government-funded patch for a program that crashed.   
      
   You need Trump and DOGE!

   There faggot goes again... focusing on the minutiae, instead of the big   
   picture.   
      
   SPENT is not the same as ALLOCATED, and allocation is what is included in the   
   $50+ billion, you disingenuous little faggot.   
      
   What part of "The $50 Billion INVESTMENT" do you not get.   
      
   PLONK, faggot!   
      
   =============================================================================   
      
   "Trump Derangement Syndrome" Is a Real Mental Condition   
      
   All you need to know about "Trump Derangement Syndrome," or TDS.   
      
   "Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is a mental condition in which a person has   
   been driven effectively insane due to their dislike of Donald Trump, to the   
   point at which they will abandon all logic and reason."   
      
   Justin Raimondo, the editorial director of Antiwar.com, wrote a piece in the   
   Los Angeles Times in 2016 that broke TDS down into three distinct phases or   
   stages:   
      
   "In the first stage of the disease, victims lose all sense of proportion. The   
   president-elect's every tweet provokes a firestorm, as if 140 characters were   
   all it took to change the world."   
      
   "The mid-level stages of TDS have a profound effect on the victim's   
   vocabulary: Sufferers speak a distinctive language consisting solely of   
   hyperbole."   
      
   "As TDS progresses, the afflicted lose the ability to distinguish fantasy from   
   reality."   
      
   The Point here is simple: TDS is, in the eyes of its adherents, the knee-jerk   
   opposition from liberals to anything and everything Trump does. If Trump   
   announced he was donating every dollar he's ever made, TDS sufferers would   
   suggest he was up to something nefarious, according to the logic of TDS.   
   There's nothing - not. one. thing. - that Trump could do or say that would be   
   received positively by TDSers.   
      
   The history of Trump Derangement Syndrome actually goes back to the early   
   2000s - a time when the idea of Trump as president was a punch line for late-   
   night comics and nothing more.   
      
   Wikipedia traces its roots to "Bush Derangement Syndrome" - a term first   
   coined by the late conservative columnist Charles Krauthammer back in 2003.   
   The condition, as Krauthammer defined it, was "the acute onset of paranoia in   
   otherwise normal people in reaction to the policies, the presidency - nay -   
   the very existence of George W. Bush."
