Carney on addressing climate change: "The policies that I inherited are not sufficient to meet our 2035 targets. And in part, because regulation in and of itself isn't sufficient, you need the investment alongside it."

During the Lib leadership he said something to the effect of wanting to continue to move forward towards a green future and develop tech that we will sell to the yanks when they come around, like the Chinese did after Trump 1.0.
Carney on Canada becoming a leader in green technology: "You just have to look at where China and others are going. We have an enormous opportunity in this country to leapfrog the United States. The United States has taken its eye off the ball on this."

Good and frequent public transit is better than cheap infrequent transit.
Good public transit is attractive to most people.
If you are a car driver and want less cars in your way, then you want great public transit in your city. Crappy transit won't help ease traffic.

The equity case for infrequent buses at low fares only makes sense if you believe low income people’s time has no value or that they don’t value their time.
Every transit professional knows this, but equity

We have tougher laws for premeditated murder and for intention to commit murder.
What are people with illegal US weapons premeditating? What are their intentions?
Killing someone and getting away with it.
There should be harsher penalties.

I remember as a kid on a drive north of Superior seeing prospectors inspecting the crushed rocks used to elevate the highway. Turns out they were prospecting as the crushed rock was mine tailings from a gold mine.
