Proud Canadian, increasingly horrified by current politics. Worried about the planet and the future of democracy. Be kind, but don't put up with extremism.
My desire to be well informed is currently at odds with my desire to remain sane.

My high level issue with the constant bitching about Carney’s past jobs, assets etc comes down to the fact that it will discourage anyone who has had a successful career from entering politics.
It’s not a scandal because you had a good job and did it well.

New pipelines would be a waste of money.
Renewables now outpace fossil electricity investment by 10 to 1, with more investment in solar than all other power sources combined. As a result, renewables are poised to overtake coal as the leading power source in 2025.

“Helsinki hasn’t registered a single traffic-related fatality in the past year…Citing data that shows the risk of pedestrian fatality is cut in half by reducing a car’s speed from 40 to 30km/hr, city officials imposed the lower limit in most of Helsinki’s residential areas & city center in 2021.”

This is just a masturbation of tired clichés by a guy who is clearly high on his own supply.
Speaking as an Albertan, so much of that anger has been carefully spoon-fed to the people by provincial governments casting blame for their own incompetence and repeated failures.
