Rolling back environmental policy will hurt Canadians in the long run, Energy and Natural Resources Minister Jonathan Wilkinson told the executives of Canada’s largest oil and gas companies after they called for a national energy crisis to fast track new fossil fuel projects. The public spat reveals a new front in the ongoing battle over the sector's future in Canada.
The way carbon tax and dividend was supposed to play out was as a test for the world using one of the most educated populations in the world. While smart financial people (tend to be rich) could rationally invest in reducing their carbon use, anticipating every higher tax/dividend, and teach others of the financial benefits, the reality was US assisted oil/conservative disinformation, essentially smart rich financial people understanding that corruption is the rational investment.
What makes “drill baby drill” climate terrorism normal is war that all parties support. The “heating fuel price crisis” is directly to our unanimous provocation of war on Russia, and global diesel (same distillation fraction as heating fuel) refinery capacity at maximum because of use in that war. If war, historically always over oil and industry profit maximization, is easy to make a priority then nothing else can ever matter. Sustainability can only be considered during prosperity and cohesion, and war not only prevents that, it is the easy path to derail concern for sustainability. In despair, a politician promising that cannibalism is the obvious solution to the in group, is easy to believe when media goes along with it.
Renewables/EVs globally are now reducing emissions. Fossil electricity down over 10% in Europe, In China, almost flat with 8.5% electricity growth, and drought affected Hydro production. Oil demand down close to 10% in China. The lies that the world needs “the US’s peaceful energy” is either a lie to defraud US investors, or the continued certainty of amplifying more war to derail climate sustainability. If the US will be so corrupt as to pursue “energy dominance”, it must be destroyed economically. Those who wish to “join in on the corruption” must be silenced, and further investments are necessarily dumb if US is going to tariff our FF energy, and to top it all off, we remain dedicated to war on China, Russia, and Iran, and have no customers for the FF developments.
I would like to remind you that we didn’t provoke Russia into bombing Georgia, or invading Ukraine.
Fuck fossil fuels, but fuck the narrative that the Russian government isn’t fully culpable for their acts of war and invasions.
It is simply disinformation that CIA/US empire activities in both of those nations were not done to install Russian hating nazis into power. Both those countries forced secessionist reactions within their countries, which Russia was allowed/entitled/provoked to protect. Georgian criminal CIA puppet at the time was a Ukrainian who is now mayor of Odessa.
The pure disinformation and disrespect for Russia’s self defense, and defense of massacred/persecuted ethnic Russians in allies turned against Russia by US interference, is propaganda support that Canada should stop giving to US, when Canada is also on the destabilization list of the US empire. The propaganda that makes you hate Russia is entirely aimed at you, and aimed at supporting a losing, climate destroying, war on fabricated hate. Russians overwhelmingly understand US empire as evil that hates them, and no amount of it will get them to accept the absurdity that “NATO is a purely defensive alliance”.
