Because you can pay. Why wouldn't they want to get money from the people they know can pay, rather than try and get it from people who maybe can't.
The mind boggles.
I'm pretty lazy. I'd much rather have solar on my house to charge a car then grow and process corn to make ethanol. Do nothing, or do a metric butt ton of work for the same result. Easy choice.
None of those things are likely assembled in Ontario either. I'd bet 100% of those things come from a supplier. Not that it makes it right, but they're not assembly issues.
It's pretty well known what the average miles per year driven is. Charge everyone the same registration fee based on the average miles per year, probably adjusted for vehicle weight, and do away with any gas tax. Why over complicate things? We definitely don't need the government tracking any...
People driving too fast, looks to be a fairly sharp turn on smooth concrete. Add some Seattle dampness and a dash of cell phone and it's a recipe for disaster.
If it didn't say peanuts on that bag how did you know they were peanuts? Maybe they were peanut flavored and shaped tofu nuggets with no actual peanuts.
The car will control the battery temp to allow it to operate/charge in nearly any climate. This is the primary reason electric cars lose range in the cold. Tesla states -22F to +140F, which covers pretty much anywhere you're going to drive a Tesla. An RV battery is just a lump of chemicals that...
Just to add a bit of context, the US and Australia don't use the same octane rating system, and 98 in Australia is roughly the same as 93 in the states. Kinda like the metric vs imperial.

If you're overpaid, you just pay it back on your 2021 return. It work out the same in the end, and you don't need to feed all your personal data to some third party, which I agree is not good.
Automatic enrollment would have been determined from your 2020 return. Unless you went from eligible in 2020 to ineligible in 2021, there should be no reason to opt-out, as you were never in in the first place. Payment isn't automatically sent everyone.
This is an advance on your 2021 return...
