I want to live in a world with less trauma and more love.
Doubling the electric grid is a plan for a high carbon future.
Building the grid requires materials and energy. Generating electricity likely means dams or burning fuel.
Then all the vehicles to use that power require materials, batteries and highways.
Do bikes and public transit instead.

This is simply incorrect for numerous reasons: 1) Carney is increasing with oil and resource extraction, and proceeding with pipelines, 2) electric cars are not a climate change solution, 3) Canada is still buying warplanes from the US, not diversifying.

A serious person would not say the auto sector has a plan for a low-carbon future. Be for real.
Public transportation is the plan for a low-carbon future.

Because he's racing and pacing and plotting the course
He's fighting and biting and riding on his horse

A plan to double electric grid capacity? How is that going to be achieved? More mega-dams? More fuel-burning power plants?
It's not solar. If Carney tried to build enough solar capacity to double the electric grid, the oil companies would have him assassinated.

He's buying pipelines
He's running the tar sands
He supports fracking: Dirty, expensive, polluting even by fossil fuel extraction standards
He's involved in regime change in South & Cent America (& all continents) because Western interests want all those resources

Some people got all excited at Carney's Davos speech, and I can understand the urge to want to believe in something good given all the current horrors. But it's unfortunately counter-productive to believe in things that are not true.
It's better to grieve than seek false comfort.

It's a shame, because I want to like the National Observer, and otherwise most of the articles I've read there are decent. Fawcett's articles however are so awful that they drag the average quality of the whole outlet into the negative. If they can publish him, I can't read any of their articles.

It would be bad enough if Fawcett were trying to fool us into believing Carney is doing good things, but what's worse is that it seems quite likely that Fawcett himself believes these things even though they are manifestly not true.

If the fire department showed up and refused to put out fires so often that you could predict it in advance, what would you think would be the actual purpose of such a fire department?

What I mean is that if the function of policing were to create public safety and stability, they would have removed the truck convoy the way they removed G20 protestors from Toronto or a homeless encampment.
Clearly safety and stability is not the actual function of police.

It's worth thinking about how if the truck convoy happened all over again, police, and the federal and provincial governments would do nothing to stop it.
We must update our understanding of the function of these institutions to account for the way they behaved, and would behave again.

I was there when the word came out to move the table across the road and block it, trapping the Convoy. We let numerous non-convoy vehicles through. Threats were made against us that the other parts of the convoy was going to come and deal with us. Police, provincial govβt, federal too, did nothing.

Police should be removed from the role of traffic safety, and an unarmed civilian agency should be created to enforce traffic rules, and investigate traffic crashes, and update policy to make roads safer.
Police don't want to do it anyway, and speeding tickets can be written without a gun.
