New federal clean fuel regulations, which take effect on Canada Day, are designed to cut pollution from vehicles. Although there won't be much of a change to pump prices across the country on July 1, experts say, there will be a noticeable increase several years down the road. (Kyle Bakx/CBC)

I'm not sure if this is the right move... It'll inevitably hurt the consumer due to rising costs from the biofuel.

The government should target the polluting larger fish and you know, actually adhere to their climate goals... cough cough

"Canada has never reached any of its own climate targets," said Caroline Brouillette, national policy manager at Climate Action Network Canada, a coalition of more than 130 groups. Source

... several years down the road.

Adhering to our climate goals would be devastating to people living in provinces where they've done little more than double down on resource extraction. Apparently that's a bad thing.

And in several years, electric or hybrid vehicles will be the majority.

I know we'll need a new car sometime in the near year, and I've already set at minimum to get a hybrid.
