By 2035, it’ll be illegal to buy a new gas-powered vehicle in Canada. Not because Canadians asked for it, but because Ottawa is forcing it on you.”
How?
Under Regulation SOR/2023‑275, the federal government is mandating 100% of new vehicle sales to be electric by 2035.
No debate. No vote. Just another government knows best policy that cripples our auto industry and tramples our freedom to choose what we drive.
Why?
We’re being told it’s about climate change — but we know that's pure bull shit!
Banning reliable vehicles without a working EV grid or affordable options hurts Canadians, not the planet.
In fact, this net-zero agenda is 10 times more destructive to our environment than maintaining the status quo.
Also, EVs cost more. Charging stations are rare. Rural and working-class Canadians are being ignored — yet again.
Ottawa claims this mandate is about stopping ‘climate change’ and dodging Trump’s possible tariffs.
But let’s be real, this isn’t about saving the world or protecting trade.
It’s about using fear and propaganda to force policy. Whether it’s the environment, a foreign election, or the next crisis — the excuse changes, but the bull shit stays the same.
Who Pays the Price?
You, paying more to drive.
Dealerships, punished for selling what people want.
Automakers, forced to conform or pay penalties.
This isn’t progress, it's punishment.
This isn’t climate action, it’s economic coercion.”
Here's Your Call to Action!
We stand with the autoworkers, the drivers, and the manufacturers.
And we stand against forced ideology dressed up as environmental regulation.
Pride & Horsepower is my personal journey to reclaim a lost dream—centered around my 1989 Mustang 5.0 LX Sedan that I once owned and the life I’m rebuilding from the pavement up.
This 'Tough Choices' prologue episode of the Mustang Memories segment looks back at a defining moment: the day I walked away from the car I’d fought so hard to find. Not because I didn’t want it—but because life demanded something else. That choice became the foundation of everything that followed.

Pride & Horsepower: Tough Choices - Mustang Memories (Prologue):
#Mustang #Music #1 – Standard Issue Mustang Tape 🎶
Every comeback story has a soundtrack. This is mine.
Back in the late 80s and early 90s, if you had a Mustang, chances are you had a mixtape full of the hardest-hitting, bass-heavy tracks of the era – the kind that made your rearview mirror shake and your speakers beg for mercy.
I call this playlist the ‘Standard Issue Mustang Tape.’

This playlist is a nod to that time when 12" subs in the trunk and booming stereo systems were as much a part of the Mustang culture as the throaty roar of a 5.0.
Turn it up, hit the open road, and remember – every comeback starts with a vision.
‘The Road to Reclamation – A Comeback Story in Motion!’
Hi all, I’m Tripps5.0 – thanks for dropping by my virtual garage!
On this page, I’ll be documenting my ongoing journey to reclaim my old '89 Mustang 5.0L and get it back where it belongs – in my hands and on the road.
This will be a real-life, first-person account, chronicling my pursuit of a dream that meant the world to me back in the day, and still does today.
As a young man, I longed to buy this car for over a year as I saved up for it. Once the keys were in my hand, though, it became an integral part of my youth and my transition into adulthood, allowing me to experience the world on my own terms.
If you've ever had a ride you wish you’d never let go of, you’ll get it! If you love a good story where the ending is completely unknown – even to the author – then follow along to see how this all plays out, in real time.
Ride shotgun with me on my journey, and let's see where this road leads me- together!
We’ve all had to part ways with something that was an extension of our own self at some point in life. Mine was my Mustang – what was yours?
