Canada offers to help US with energy dominance - sh.itjust.works

>“The U.S. wants to achieve energy dominance. We support you in that view,” Hodgson said. “We will win this race.” >Hodgson told POLITICO that energy dominance could be achieved if the U.S. and Canada work together as “Fortress North America.”

Unlike in the US, we very much CAN recall Hodgson.

Maybe i’m misunderstanding your comment, but Hodgson is a cabinet minister, not an ambassador. This is government policy, apparently!

Yes; we can recall elected officials with a vote of non confidence in their riding.

They’re recalled from cabinet to their riding, which then holds another election.

I was aware of this mechanism existing in Alberta, but I’m pretty certain it doesn’t exist federally … ?

I’m down to vote NDP, but realistically if there is another vote it’s going to be PP, who will just do the same things but worse.

They’re not talking about forcing a general election. A recall vote just forces a new vote for that one seat.

I’ve never heard of such a procedure.

The US is not looking for energy dominance, they’re looking to maximize revenue for O&G companies. There’s a heck of a difference. For energy dominance, the last thing you want to do is scrap a $1B offshore wind project as they just did.

For energy dominance, the first thing to do is to maximize renewables. I don’t need to read the article, the title means nothing but to flood both countries with wind turbines and solar panels so that locals don’t have to burn their own fuel.

In supporting continued war on GCC, energy dominance is extorting people to continue relying on oil/NG, including our own citizens, for glory of hypno Exxon. You are right that basic accounting logic will destroy demand for such fuels such that further investment gets stranded eventually.

It’s up to you/us to avoid being extorted. I know I am.

Every single complaint and fear about Poillievre, which would have also been true under him, can be applied to Carney. The ONLY thing this last election did was weaken the NDP, though at least the new leadership race is showing that they intend to be more aggressively progressive and don’t seem to be planning to move towards the center.

Anyone who votes Liberal in the next election, especially if they start up with that “strategic” crap, is a fucking idiot and we need to tell them that whether they’re family, friends, or partners. Do not “keep politics out” of those relationships; show them all the reasons that they are either wrong or actually just conservatives.

I’m so fucking tired of “moderates”. They can all burn for all I care, they seem to let others suffer and that removes them from the social contract as far as I’m concerned.
