If Carney believed this we'd be rolling out renewables at 'a speed and scale not seen in generations'.

Doubling down on oil production makes us more dependent on foreign countries/adversaries since we lack the capacity to refine our own fuel products and in the time it would take to build that capacity we could already be reaping the benefits of a clean energy transition.

I'm so totally exhausted with Canadian politicians pushing this industry propaganda that more oil and gas means greater independence for Canada when the opposite is true.

Nothing I can do if they go in and grab Castro as they did Maduro.
Hope Carney speaks out... but, he is so lined up with U.S. policy and ideology, probably not.
We elected "elbows up" but got a militarized petro state in bed with U.S.

Cuba braces for possible U.S. military action as uncertainty follows Castro indictment | CBC News

Former Cuban president Raúl Castro will be "keeping his head down," experts say, as questions swirl over whether the U.S. plans to take him by force and bring him to American soil to face charges over an incident from three decades ago. Federal prosecutors announced criminal charges against Castro Wednesday in the 1996 downing of two small planes flown by Miami-based exile group Brothers to the Rescue.

@cbcnews @calgary-cbcnews If only the Government would approach the cost-of-living crises with such vigor.

Demand destruction, a beautiful phrase when applied to the oil & gas sector.

There is a workaround and China will continue winning as long as the US continues down the #petrostate dead end and stifle innovation.

Canada already can't afford the costs of the climate catastrophe, but has billions for new climate catastrophe causing pipelines.

A decade since the petro-wildfires burned down much of their capitol city, and the oilmen still haven't paid any compensation for the devastation they caused.

“This is bigger than all the biggest crises combined, and therefore huge,” he said in an exclusive Guardian interview. “I still cannot understand that the world was so blindsided, that the global economy can be held hostage to a 50km strait.”

A new climate democracy is taking on the petrostates

Nearly 60 countries gathered in Santa Marta to chart a path away from fossil fuels—even as oil shocks tighten their grip on the global economy.
