Given the information access you'd think she has access too in regards to EV development, one does wonder how bloody stupid you have to be to talk to that in one of the bigger logistical and shipping based areas in Canada. Tone deaf is a nice way of putting it.

She said - we have to move quicker on climate action so we don't have to be at the whims of Russia/Middle East actions in terms of oil prices. Its not wrong.
She could/should have said - we feel your pain, it sucks.. damn Russia for starting a war and damn us for not building pipelines. But I'm not sure that's going to make anyone feel better.
I will also say - I don't think many in Brampton is particularly worried about fuel prices because they are a shipping/logistics based area. They are just pissed because it costs more to fuel their car.
