There wasn't really anything preventing them from imposing water restrictions earlier. They do like to make big political gestures. If the crunched numbers warrant it, why aren't they already at stage 2? It's not as if there's some force beyond their ken that stops them from increasing water restrictions now, and easing off if May and June are wetter than usual.

Numbers are very much affected by incentives
As of April 30, 2026, BC passenger EV rebates are paused, but a new federal program is active. The CleanBC Go Electric Passenger Vehicle Rebate was paused on May 15, 2025, and is under review. The new federal Electric Vehicle Affordability Program (EVAP) (up to $5,000) began February 16, 2026, and runs until March 31, 2031. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Key 2026 Incentives and Timelines:
- Federal EVAP Program: Active for vehicle sales/leases starting on or after February 16, 2026, offering up to $5,000 for qualifying vehicles, with the rebate amount scheduled to decrease in 2027, 2028, and 2030.
- BC Provincial Rebates: The standard CleanBC passenger vehicle rebate is paused pending a review expected in fall 2025.
- BC Charging Incentives: Incentives for installing home charging stations and specific, non-passenger EV incentives (e.g., e-bikes, motorcycles) remain available.
- Used EVs in BC:

I'm reading this (1009 EDT) as it is lightly snowing. Spring in (near) northern Ontario is fun. It was near 20*C last week and I was having my ceremonial first-beer-in-the-sun.

'Terminated', yeah, we'll go with that...
US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth has argued that the clock has paused on a deadline for the Trump administration to seek approval from Congress for the US-Israeli war with Iran.
Hegseth was responding to questions from members of the Senate, or upper chamber, on Thursday.
Friday is the 60th day since Trump formally notified Congress of the strikes against Iran on 2 March. US law requires a president to "terminate any use of United States Armed Forces" within 60 days of such a notification - unless Congress allows a continuation.
A senior administration official said hostilities with Iran had "terminated", emphasising that a ceasefire had been in effect since early April.

I was excited by Hybrids, but the technology is not there yet
Major EV/PHEV Recalls (2025-2026)
Major EV/PHEV Recalls (2025-2026)
- Ford Escape & Lincoln Corsair PHEV (2023-2026): Recalled due to high-voltage battery cell defects causing potential fire or power loss. Owners are advised to avoid charging and use "Auto EV" mode.
- Ford F-150 Lightning & Mach-E (2022-2026): Over 270,000 vehicles in the U.S. recalled for a park module software error that could allow the vehicle to roll away.
- Kia EV5 (2027): Pre-delivery recall for 2027 models due to missing bolts securing second-row seats.
- Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid (2023-2025): Noncompliance safety recall for ~74,000 vehicles.
- VW ID.4 & Audi Q4 E-Tron (2025): Recalled due to fire risk, potential power loss, and rollaway risks. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]

So if the hostilities with Iran have been terminated, then I presume if they resume it will be considered by the Trump Administration as a "new" conflict (since the original one was already over) so the clock will start all over at Zero again.'Terminated', yeah, we'll go with that...

Another interesting article from the folks over at Army Recognition that during OP Epic Fury, the Israelis deployed one of their Iron Dome systems to the UAE to protect the country from Iranian missiles. Truly one of those "Dogs laying down with Cats" scenarios.

FFS, the missile failed, it just clipped it with a flight surface, for some reason they used a 9X. Any of those could result in the missile's behaviour.
There's a thing called momentum, maybe that's why the debris carried on for a second.
People are dumb.
