Stay tuned. I'll add them to this thread.

"Achieving Canada’s zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) targets—20 per cent of new vehicle sales by 2026 and 100 per cent by 2035—could reduce emissions by an estimated 30 Mt relative to 2005 levels by 2035"

While EVs are gaining ground, rising travel demand and bigger vehicles are stalling progress.
