    And they will cry and obtain more subsidies and tax cuts while we get fucked in every hole.

    At this point I would rather Canada struggle to make work for the people displaced by the loss of O&G than continue to fuel their bullshit.

      Job losses in oil and gas is fine and everyone involved should keep that in mind. Colleges and universities should be steering stem kids out of pero-engineering, and tradeschools should be pointing people away from fuckin Fort McMurray. In Ontario though there are still loads of millwrights/plumbers/electricians being told that they can go work 5 years in the oil patch then come back home, buy a house and put their feet up.

    for example through strategic price controls on energy, food, and other key inputs

    I don’t know why anyone ever takes Jacobin seriously at this point.

    The solution to rising food costs is not, in fact, to exacerbate the problem by giving producers a strong incentive to not produce food.

      Agreed, the level of concentration in grocery distribution is worse than the telecoms. At this point they need to be broken up and run as non-profits!
