#Budget2023 🧵 /2

I'm actually ecstatic we got one of them but it's going to take ongoing investment in all three (& my crude math suggests equally) to truly compete in the already started global #RaceToNetZero. No small political lift which is why The People part is critical

Maybe the big strategic question of #Budget2023:

Will enabling Canada's businesses to take on the #RaceToNetZero engage #ThePeople enough to create the political will required for the sort of #BigPublicWorks we will inevitably need. The clock is ticking. The race is ON

Folks that didn't like the phrase #WarOnClimate probably won't like #NetZeroArmsRace either but what an interesting place to be in these increasingly dark times: nations competing & alliances forming to save the world rather than blow it up. Count me in

In many ways China's been leading the #NetZero fray thus far in spite of new coal mining operations & #NetZero60 promises instead of 50. Nobody's done more to bring down the cost of #Solar to where it is today & they're doing the same with #ElectricBuses

#EuropeanUnion was making solid moves on #Renewables prior to petro-tyrant Russia's invasion of Ukraine & have doubled down since then. It's a geopolitical win-win: starve the Russian bear and ramp up the #RaceToNetZero. The times they are a-changin'
