I mean, I’m not surprised. The two of them had the perfect jobs for being spies.

Especially if the NDP forms the minority. A Liberal/NDP minority represents more than 50% of all voters.

If the US continues to destabilize, we’re fucked anyway. Any aid we can provide to Ukraine is going to be us allocating funds to buy American weapons that we then ship off to Ukraine.

How about nationalize our O&G, airline, and telecom?

None of this solves the methane problem that has a disproportionate and untracked impact on Canada’s emissions.

Consider that 1.2% leakage means that natural gas is equally bad as coal over a 20 year period. Consider then that even the most optimistic estimates for leakage are higher than that. Might as well just burn coal.

And a good chunk of Canadian emissions (about half) are due to O&G extraction and burning fossil fuels for transportation. It’s a simple problem to solve.

The West’s data is literally, demonstrably false to the point that it’s legitimately harmful to our climate goals. In the short-term, natural gas is indisputably worse than coal, maybe even 2-3x worse. Even in the long-term, natural gas is worse than coal when looking at observed methane leakage rates. The US’ emissions reductions are a fucking lie.

Meanwhile, China hasn’t exactly been hiding that they’re reliant on coal.

Yeah, you’re right about that, my bad.

I was thinking more in terms of the core tech teams - there’s a decent EA presence here as well.

Well, I’ve already established you can’t take Western GHGe numbers at face value… What’s your point? Trust nobody and nothing?

I mean, if someone else wants to start producing solar panels and wind turbines…

There’s already been a confirmed F-35 damaged by a “bird strike” over Syria… The F-35 was certified against bird strikes to a higher standard than most other American jets. Given the amount of lies coming out of the IDF in the Gaza conflict, I wouldn’t be surprised if the F-35 was targettable by Russian S-200/S-300 systems and the IDF is covering it up to avoid absolutely destroying the international reputation of the F-35.

The problem is, Canadian F-35 operations in the Arctic (really, the only area we have to defend against Russia) would almost certainly require drop tanks. In that scenario, the F-35 is fucked. This is even as F-35 maintenance requires the use of American military contractors that can be weeks or even months away, particularly if we do decide to operate F-35s out of Arctic bases.

Nationalize it. This degenerate “business comes first” bullshit is costing us key talent.

Screw Bell. Nationalize telecoms.

Fuck Rogers.

You can also ask yourself why the blockade on Cuba still exists despite every UN vote going the exact same way…

If the government could step in and just build housing instead of adopting neoliberal bullshit, that would be great thanks.

If we’re subsidizing O&G so much, why don’t we just nationalize?

Neoliberal policy is fucked. It’s rather telling that China’s economic environment is more conducive to startups and innovation than Canada’s.
