Three police officers down across three provinces on the same Monday. Lesley Kelly and Jimmy Zoubris open the week by acknowledging what that costs before the panel moves into the policy questions that follow.

Bill C-14 gives police more tools to deal with car theft, gang violence, and repeat offenders — but Kelly's question is the right one: will the resources actually be there to use them? Then the panel splits on Chinese electric vehicles. Jimmy would go electric tomorrow. Lesley puts on forty thousand kilometers a year farming in Saskatchewan and needs to see a decade of improvement first. The government's answer — build where you sell — sounds reasonable until you remember that Canadian labour costs are exactly why affordable cars come from somewhere else.

Canada also unveiled a nuclear strategy this week. The Simpsons may have had something to do with why it took this long.

Topics: bail reform Canada, Chinese electric vehicles, nuclear energy Canada, electric car affordability, police shootings
