So do we really need to wait until December 2026 the earliest possible time for chinese ev companies to make their appearances in Canada?

Looks like BYD is rumoured to be showcasing in December 2026

I know we are close to it but man the wait has been so long.

The rest of chinese ev companies are set to make their stage presence in Canada starting 2027.

The wait is so real I just wish they could give us glimpse or something.

Community discussion Being a below-average looking single man makes life very hard.

Adulting is just too hard as man who's short, bald, not attractive and not intelligent either.

I work hard, but I come home to nothing. I don't even know why I'm working anymore.

I have no one to talk to, nobody really checks in with me or really wants to talk to me unless they want something.

The economy is shit, jobs are paying low wages it's not like I can just simply get a good paying job and cope with life.

I don't really want to keep working just for the sake of struggling to survive my entire life 💔

Why would I struggle just to suffer when there's nothing in the end waiting for me except a grave

Anyone else in Canada holding out for genuine Chinese EV brands (BYD, Geely, Chery) over North American chinese evs entering this country?

I’m curious how many other Canadians are actively waiting for established Chinese EV manufacturers—like BYD, Geely, and Chery to launch here instead of buying American-branded EVs manufactured in China.

Global automakers like BYD are offering well-built, competitively priced electric vehicles worldwide. Meanwhile, North American manufacturers have largely priced out the average Canadian buyer—and buying an American brand produced in China is vastly inferior to the Chinese branded ev companies.

Waiting for high-quality, reasonably priced vehicles directly from these major Chinese brands feels like the much better long-term choice.

I’d rather wait for these international brands to land here directly than buy overpriced alternatives. Anyone else taking the patient approach?

Life is so hard I really hope the singularity comes as soon as possible.

I literally cannot keep up being a slave to this monopolistic system. I hope zeitgeist happens, the singularity hits, abundance hits.

Work becomes optional and not tied to survival.

Cause this timeline of modern slavery suck really badly.

So am I just suppose to roll over and fall in a ditch?

I think we have come to the point where cost of living is absurd. Wages have not kept up with inflation. You cannot even support yourself making even ABOVE minimum wage unless you cramp yourself with other people which benefits your slumlords pockets.

People don't even seem to want to do anything about it either. This is just modern slavery. You just get paid enough to barely survive and do your job.

The worst part of it all, when you're single, you see how absolutely bs this all is. When you only have to take care of yourself, you really see that you're just a slave to make the wealthy even wealthier.

The average salary in Canada is around 68k which sounds good on paper but when you take out high-earners/wealthy the actual average income is 46k before taxes

This timeline sucks.

Perspective I am 29 year old man. I work full time job in corporate working 9 to 5. The noirpill is very real and it's easy how uninterested people are when you are around them.

I "touch grass" everyday and it's dead grass all around me.

I am 29 years old man. People think lots of us are just young dudes who know nothing about the world.

Wrong.

Being an adult below=average looking man, is very isolating people don't really want to talk to you and no one ever initiates conversations with you.

Women especially do their best to ignore you or end conversations as quickly as possible.

It doesn't get better as you get older, whoever told you this is an ignorant dickhead

Community discussion I think the reason MGTOW essentially died off is because most men didn't choose to go their own way, they were sent their own way. Most men were/are MSTOW

For those that don't know MGTOW is "Men Going Their Own Way", mostly a decision men make after deciding that relationships aren't worth it for them.

We need to talk about this because MGTOW, men going their own way is shaped like a choice. You chose to not pursue dating and relationships anymore because of xyz reasons.

Many men who are going MGTOW are men who have already experienced being in a relationship

In reality most men watching MGTOW content were/are actually men sent their own way. They never made that choice they were forced to make that choice.

Has anyone notice the lack of news coverage from Canadian news media outlets regarding chinese evs entering Canada?

I mean it's better than nothing at all, but most news coverage are like 1-3 minute clips that are really short.

For example: With the dongfeng showcase of the chinese ev models, we barely got any coverage from news media outlets. There was so much potential to go into details with the dongfeng chinese evs being showcased in Montreal, but nothing just a glimpse of the car from the outside and that's it.

We got better news coverage on chinese evs in Canada from youtubers then Canadian news media itself.

Community Discussion My fellow below-average looking men, take it easy in life, just work hard enough to live as comfortably as you want and just coast for the rest. Don't spend extra energy on anything else that doesn't benefit you.

That's what I'm doing as below average looking unc (29M). I just focus on maximising my own comfort while trying to put in the least amount of effort possible.

If you really aren't materialistic either you would even have a easier time just coasting through life.

Honestly for me personally, since I was sent my own way, I have no need to try so hard to "build a life" anymore. All I need is small apartment, gaming pc, and a bed.

Lay down boys and relax.

As someone whos born and raised Torontonian, I just feel so alien in my own city. People aren't ever in a social mood, everyone is in a rush to go somewhere. It just feels like people hate talking to each other or they give off the don't talk to me vibe.

I understand people have bad days, or people are in a rush, or people just simply don't want to talk to anyone when their out in public. But it looks like everyone is like this.

So many people in this city just feel so alien towards each other while living in the an area like the GTA, it feels so unnatural.

Like people are afraid to strike up conversations with each other or just talk in general sense.

Also to me it feels very weird going on transportation sitting so close to someone and being dead silent, theirs really just like no general conversations going on, people in general just don't seem interested in having that sense of community

It feels like you can only being social is only acceptable in a pre-planned event where you're allowed to socialize and that feels very restrictive.

I think post covid it just got even worse.

Companies want you to be productive and want to increase productivity but hate when you're actually more productive working from home. They rather have optics than productivity which really makes you question what's the point of being productive at all.

That's my anti work rant

My company had some renovations going on my office floor, so my team WFH and I was way more productive working from home during that period.

Once I return to the office it was full on office distractions everywhere and my productivity dropped in comparison to WFH

Community discussion Keeping unwanted men ignorant of the noirpill is a corporate incentive structure designed to siphon men's income in the hope that women will find them desirable

This goes just beyond redpill coaches trying to scam men.

Keeping unwanted men ignorant of the noirpill is the backbone pillar of the economic system society has in place.

If more men took the noirpill and realized that looks and genetics are what most women care and about and are completely outside your control the economic system would collapse because men don't have an incentive to work hard anymore.

They would just work enough to survive on what they need, and men are very good at adapting to survive off bare minimum comforts.

I'm glad more unwanted men are becoming aware of the noirpill and just more men in general are also becoming aware who feel screwed by the economic system.

Screw the economic system taking advantage of men's ignorance, time to shine a light on this.

Why Ontario’s traffic problem should make more people care about voting

Hate GTA traffic?

Do you know someone who constantly complains about traffic but doesn't vote?

Well maybe this is a good segway into telling them this exact reason is why provincial elections matter

The Ford government has focused heavily on expanding highways, including adding lanes to major routes. However, many commuters are still experiencing the same daily frustration: hours stuck in traffic. Adding lanes in certain areas does not automatically solve congestion if the real problem is bottlenecks, poor connections between highways, and a transportation system that has not kept pace with population growth.

A highway is only as efficient as its most congested points. You can widen one section of the 401, but if everyone still funnels into the same crowded interchanges, exits, and city roads, the traffic problem simply moves somewhere else.

Example 1:
The Ford government cancelled Hamilton's LRT project in 2019 after previously supporting it during the 2018 election. The project was intended to create a dedicated rapid transit line through Hamilton, giving residents another transportation option and potentially reducing reliance on cars. . A transportation system needs multiple options: highways, buses, trains, and rapid transit.

Example 2:
The Ford government has supported building Highway 413 as a way to create another route around the GTA and reduce congestion on existing highways like the 401. Thinking that as Ontario grows, more road capacity is needed to keep people and goods moving. However, building new highways alone does not solve the long-term problem of congestion.

Problem is this is the cycle many cities struggle with:

build more roads -->more people move farther out --> more people drive, and eventually the roads become crowded again. We're back to square one if there are not other effective alternative transportation systems.

The 401, is the busiest highways in all of North America, carrying hundreds of thousands of vehicles every day. For millions of Ontarians, sitting in traffic on the 401, the DVP, the Gardiner, or other major routes is not just an inconvenience—

  • it affects when you wake up,
  • when you get home,
  • how much time you spend with your families,
  • how much stress you carry every day. Driving in the GTA is not leisure activity either, with all the road ragers on the roads/

Ontario needs to vote. Doug Ford didn't win because most Ontarians supported him—he won because too many people stayed home.

One thing I think we should all be asking is: why aren't people voting?

Doug Ford has already served three terms. Whether you support him or not, democracy only works when people actually participate. If you don't vote, you're letting everyone else decide the future of the province for you.

1. "All the candidates suck."

Honestly, I think that's a fair criticism.

But then we have to ask why.

Why aren't more young, educated, capable people running for office?

Growing up, we're encouraged to become doctors, lawyers, engineers, entrepreneurs, or enter the trades. Very few people are encouraged to pursue public service or politics.

If talented people avoid politics, the pool of candidates shrinks, and voters end up feeling like they have no good options.

2. "My vote won't change anything."

This is probably the biggest misconception.

Provincial governments make decisions that affect your everyday life:

  • Healthcare
  • Education
  • Housing
  • Highways and transit
  • Cost of living
  • Taxes

If you complain about any of these issues but don't vote, you're giving up one of the few opportunities you have to influence who makes those decisions.

3. Low voter turnout benefits whoever already has the most reliable supporters.

Doug Ford didn't need to convince a majority of eligible Ontarians to vote for him.

He needed his supporters to show up while many other people stayed home.

That's exactly why voter turnout matters.

If more people voted, election results could look very different.

If you think politics doesn't affect your daily life, think about the last thing you complained about.

Were you frustrated sitting in traffic every morning?

  • The provincial government decides how billions of dollars are invested in highways, public transit, and transportation infrastructure.

Did you spend hours waiting in an emergency room or struggle to find a family doctor?

  • The provincial government is responsible for healthcare funding and many of the policies that shape our healthcare system.

Are you worried about how expensive rent or housing has become?

  • Provincial governments influence housing policy, zoning rules, development approvals, rent regulations, and infrastructure that determines where new homes can be built.

Are you paying more for car insurance, tuition, childcare, or other everyday expenses?

  • Many of those costs are directly or indirectly affected by provincial laws, regulations, funding decisions, and taxes.

If you're a parent, provincial decisions affect your child's education through school funding, class sizes, curriculum, and support services.

If you're a student, they affect college and university funding, financial aid, and tuition policies.

If you're a worker, they influence labour laws, workplace safety standards, and employment protections.

Every budget the provincial government passes answers one simple question: Where should your tax dollars go? Whether that's healthcare, education, roads, housing, or tax cuts, those choices affect your life long after election day.

The important thing to understand is this: if you don't vote, those decisions are still made. You don't avoid the consequences by staying home—you simply give up your chance to influence who makes them.

Community discussion Unwanted adult men should have AI/Robotic girlfriends without any shame, most women don't want them romantically anyways so why is it such a big deal? It's a win-win situation for both parties involved.

Unwanted men are men who majority of average-looking women don't find romantically or sexually attractive.

Unwanted adult men, who never had girlfriend, never been on a date, never even had their first kiss and never had ANY women find them romantically attractive should be empowered to have AI/Robotic girlfriend to keep them company at the very least. It's better than them being all alone suffering in the world.

Women also don't have to deal with awkward rejections or even having to deal with these unwanted men within their vicinity if most of these types of men got AI/Robotic girlfriends.

I understand not all men want AI/Robotic girlfriends, this is for the unwanted men who are open to the idea of AI/Robotic Girlfriends but feel too ashamed to do so.

I'm very specifically talking about unwanted romantically/sexually undesirable men that most average women would not pursue at all.

The U.S. Is Blaming Mark Carney for Doug Ford’s Wildfire Failures

In Ontario, Premier Doug Ford’s government uses a reactive budget model—setting a low baseline of around $150 million for firefighting and only spending more once a massive crisis has already started. Critics argue this underfunds full-time crews and prevention, allowing fires to grow out of control before enough resources are deployed.

Because of this setup, Prime Minister Mark Carney is wrongfully taking the blame from the U.S. By threatening Ottawa with trade tariffs over the smoke, American politicians are treating a provincial budget issue as a federal failure. In reality, Carney has no legal power to manage Ontario's forests or dictate Ford's spending, meaning the federal government is being criticized for a crisis created by the province's lack of preparation.

The real issue here is that Premier Doug Ford is completely escaping the line of fire. Whether you agree that Mark Carney should take some blame or not, the fact is Doug Ford is taking absolutely NONE. Even though Ontario's underfunded forestry cuts are the direct trigger for the smoke crossing the border, the U.S. backlash completely bypasses his desk. By allowing Washington to attack Ottawa, Ford is successfully dodging 100% of the blame for a provincial wildfire crisis that belongs entirely to his administration.

I never really had a reason to live for myself, I always wanted to find love, raise family and have kids. That's all but as below average short balding man it doesn't look like that will happen and I don't care about life anymore.

I really don't care about working for myself if no one gives a shit or cares about me.

I don't get joy out of life anymore aside from having at the very least a women caring and loving me.

I never in my 29 years have had relationship or even been desired by a women before.
