Appalling, insulting criminal.
Canada
CBC smiles and says Canada is doing enough, (jack shirt) and Canadians feel pride about their NONEXISTANT climate effort.
Canada's largest #climate effort is letting Chinese EVS in.
"Please CANADA," Island nations beg, "don't sink us below storms like Atlantis."
"Canada will sell oil longer than all other nations, when every other nation has realises the cruelty and expense, we'll STILL be shipping oil."

@kevinrns @fname we have tariffs on solar panels, we don't have a national renewables production strategy, we subsidize fossil fuel companies and extraction and failures.
There's no reason we couldn't be enticing Chinese companies to set up photovoltaic production here instead of enticing USA oil & gas companies to drill and frack.

I hope Ireland doesn't piss away the gains by using the energy for data centres.

Honestly we could have taken a couple of the billions we spent on tmx and used it to build our own photovoltaic production lines, without needing Chinese companies to come in a do it for us (thus all the benefits remain in Canada).
The majority of O&G jobs occur during construction and that boom is over. There is no need to continue subsidising the industry (both from an economic and environmental perspective), our focus should be on future technologies.

When the Americans told Conservative Prime Minister Diefenbaker to destroy not just rhe Avro Arrow, but it's blueprints, parts specifications, test results and models, Canada had just built the fastest fighter jet on earth.
Nortell was, until destroyed, the preeminent telco tech company, then when RIM Blackberry was at its height you couldn't pry the SECURE device out of Obama's hands, until its demise was arranged.
#Canada COULD be leading in any field it likes, even solar.

Data centres, for spyware, ai, crypto, internet data vacuums, are evil, produce nothing but depression, control, surveillance, manipulation and corruption.
They do not produce butter, t-shirts, beds, roofs or security. They produce handcuffs, blinders, enshittification and Trump.
Data centres are invert prisons, everyone outside the data centre is trapped.
Data cenyers are cancers, life ending cancers. A picture of a data centre should fill you with dread, like a tumour.

Toronto City Councilor Jack Layton, arranged a million dollar wind generator to sit at the CNE, and it has produced power for five hundred families for decades.
Simple math says a thousand times as much money, a billion$, would produce power for 500,000 families.
Say a quarter of that is needed for batteries. Then 20 billion is 1,500,000 famies. Paid for, except maintainance. Thats cheap. Lots jobs, fewer wars for oil.

If we dont subsidise oil companies how will they bribe governments?
