EVolution 🚗 - Ottawa re-jigs its EV strategy, Spotify gets bookish.

from The Peak Daily · host The Peak / Curiouscast

Ottawa shakes up its electric vehicle strategy by bringing back EV rebates while ditching the 2035 sales mandate in favor of stricter emissions standards. We explore what this means for Canadian car buyers and the environment. Then, Spotify makes a surprising move into physical book sales, partnering with Bookshop.org to offer hardcovers and paperbacks alongside its growing audiobook business. Plus, we cover a major Toronto police corruption scandal, Y Combinator's policy reversal on Canadian startups, and why two major pension funds are looking to cash out of Britain's biggest port operator.
