Re: When Alberta separate, will it keep Canadian licensing or go the FAA route?

Manufacturers have 10 years develop a lifted EV truck before gasoline sales would stop.

Re: When Albert separate, will it keep Canadian licensing or go the FAA route?

Besides, Liberals are censoring, banning lifted trucks and all other gasoline vehicles, and putting their fingers into your fuel tank anyway... Do you have a source?

Re: 25% Tariff on all non US made Autos.

Corporations would be making money - the average Canadian won't see a dime, and the government(s) see very little of that money as well.

Only because the pilot who was 13th from the bottom of the furlough list was either on leave or long term disability (GDIP), and therefore continued to accrue years of service
