Proud Canadian, increasingly horrified by current politics. Worried about the planet and the future of democracy. Be kind, but don't put up with extremism.
My desire to be well informed is currently at odds with my desire to remain sane.

Energy transition puts at huge risk provincial revenues from oil & gas in 2030s:
- AB ⬇️ 85%
- BC ⬇️ 72%
- SK ⬇️ 78%

Oil & gas expansion is increasingly a “high-risk, low-reward strategy”.

It's a procurement document, written to the specifications of the purchase they have already decided they want to make. IMO, buying F35's would be a *huge* mistake, because the US could pull the plug on parts and support any damn time they want, and the current administration has shown they would.

Voting matters but so does research. Before you vote for a party, check to see who is propping up the leader

It’s worth noting that Poilievre’s new campaign manager is a Christian ultranationalist who is responsible for Blaine Higgs (former NB Premier), etc.

He’s literally Project 2025 Canada edition.

“A government does not reach for the notwithstanding clause four times in a month unless something is deeply wrong. This isn’t normal. It isn’t safe. And it isn’t democracy. Each time rights are pushed aside, a warning siren is blaring: Power is being placed above people.”
