Canada

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – November 28, 2025 – Canadian drivers looking for an electric family SUV finally have a brand-new option to get excited about: the all-new Kia EV5. Kia Canada has announced pricing and the start of online reservations for the 2027 EV5, giving Canadians their first chance to secure this fully electric SUV that’s designed specifically with modern families in mind.

A Canadian-exclusive electric SUV for the largest segment

Exclusive to Canada within the North American market, the Kia EV5 enters the country’s largest vehicle segment as a dedicated all-electric SUV. It’s also the first of three more affordable EVs set to arrive in Canada in 2026, signalling Kia’s push to make everyday electric driving more accessible.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – November 28, 2025 – As cannabis edibles become more popular across Canada, new research from the Canadian Automobile Association (CAA) and British Columbia Automobile Association (BCAA) is sending a clear message to drivers in BC: if you’re consuming edibles, you need to plan a safe ride home. A fresh two-part study shows that the impact of THC on driving is stronger and lasts longer than many people realize, especially several hours after eating an edible.

Edibles can impair driving for hours – not just a quick buzz

The CAA/BCAA research combines public opinion data with simulator-based testing carried out by the University of Saskatchewan. In the simulator, drivers who consumed cannabis edibles showed compromised reaction time, poorer lane discipline and weaker speed control – all critical skills for staying safe behind the wheel.
