Carney claims we need to produce more fossil fuels so we can electrify. Trudeau told us TMX would pay for electrification. Notice a pattern?
TMX didn't even pay for itself. How stupid do they think Canadians are?

This is what a generational investment in the future looks like @mark-carney.bsky.social. You're doing it wrong. electrek.co/2025/11/04/a...
Australia has so much solar that it's offering everyone free electricity
Australia's extensive solar power penetration makes so much energy that the government wants to offer free electricity at peak hours.

“It for sure made a sort of splash when it appeared, although the Times author does not note it did so chiefly by gathering around itself pleasing and extensive ridicule, most all of it on the grounds of being a bathetically unscholarly corporate-sponsored piece of risible chaff.”
What an amazing essay from the former chair of Africana Studies at Bowdoin. I'll share a few sections in the reply but seriously, read the whole thing. It's all insightful and beautifully written.

45% of net new federal expenditure is going to defence, another 45% is going to two tax cuts that overwhelmingly benefit the ultra-wealthy.
Most of the supposed “investment” is handouts to corporations.
