Federal Polling Finds Canadians Remain Uncertain About EVs’ Reliability, Affordability
Many Canadians are unlikely to purchase electric vehicles (EVs) and continue to have concerns about how affordable and reliable they are, according to a federal pollster. “As in previous years, uncertainty persists around issues such as charging capacity, maintenance costs, and resale value,” pollsters wrote in a report, adding that increased EV education and awareness initiatives are needed. The report, which was created from polling with 3,035 people across Canada, found that 33 percent were somewhat or very likely to purchase an EV as their next vehicle, while 42 percent said they were unlikely to or would not do so. According to Blacklock’s Reporter, the report said Canadians have “mixed views” on EVs, with continued uncertainty about the availability of charging stations, the battery life of the vehicles, their performance in colder weather, and their resale value. The report said the majority of Canadians continue to believe that EVs are better for the environment than combustion-engine vehicles.
Doski stunner earns Iraq draw against understrength Spain in World Cup warm-up
Spain will depart from Santiago de Compostela at 10am on Friday morning bound for Chattanooga, via Nashville, but seven of the eight men who made their debuts in the final preparation game before the World Cup will not be on board with them. Nor will the seleccion be flying west with a victory after they bid adios with a 1-1 draw against Iraq at Estadio Riazor. Which may not sound very good – and it really was not very good either, a 22-minute cameo from Mikel Merino about the best thing about it – but is no cause for alarm.

Mohamed Harkat, Facing Deportation, Wins Round in Bid to Stay in Canada
Algerian-born Mohamed Harkat has won a round in his long-running legal battle to remain in Canada. In a newly issued ruling, Federal Court Justice John Norris says a 2018 government decision that Harkat should not be allowed to stay is unreasonable. Norris says a key finding—that Harkat was complicit in acts of terrorism committed by Chechen extremists—is not adequately supported by the record or the decision-maker’s reasoning. The judge sent the matter back for redetermination by a new decision-maker. Harkat was arrested in Ottawa in December 2002 on suspicion of being an al-Qaida sleeper agent, and he denies any involvement in terrorism.
