So ... We talk about how the world should wean itself off fossil fuels and then we won't really be suffering through oil shocks (plus the planet is burning and we can't afford to keep burning fossil fuels anyway!)
But we can go further ... as John Lennon sang in Imagine
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace

This is concerning:
“Carney’s display of his Catholic faith Tuesday stood in stark contrast with a heated debate about the value of state secularism that played out an hour later at the Supreme Court of Canada.
Where Carney quoted from the Gospel of Matthew and from Christ’s Sermon on the Mount to talk about the grace and generosity that politicians should channel, Quebec’s lawyers argued religious beliefs should not be on display by public officials, saying the state should be neutral, and public services delivered without signs of any religious belief.”
While we all know Quebec’s ‘secular’ law is really about maintaining the dominance of the Catholic Church and suppressing the right of anyone else to practice competing faiths, I’m more concerned about our sitting Prime Minister invoking religion as a guiding principle for governance.
This feels like an entry-point for Christo-fascism.
“Mark Carney invokes Christian values as top court told religious beliefs don’t belong in government”

On the same day Quebec vigorously defended its law promoting state neutrality and secularism in government, Prime Minister Mark Carney declared religious values can and should frame how politicians act.
