atomicker'More than 70 per cent of oil sands production in Canada is owned by foreign shareholders, mostly from the United States. When Canada doubles down on oil, much of the wealth created leaves Canada.'
'If Prime Minister Carney’s government wants to build national projects that will strengthen Canada, it must instead look to building electricity infrastructure and renewable energy projects that benefit communities, rather than lining the pockets of fossil fuel CEOs'
Glen Schrader@atomicker I don’t deny what you’re saying but how many people do they employ?
@gschrader Fossil fuel industries constitute a tiny proportion of direct employment in Canada (under 1% of all jobs) - a miniscule share that's been on the decline for more than a decade.
So, to answer your question plainly -- fossil fuel companies don't employ anywhere near enough people to excuse the catastrophic damage they've caused, or to justify making the other 99% of us suffer.
