Canada needs to go full in on next gen green energy.
We have the know-how.
Now we need the vision and backing to do it, and stop the US from buying it and siphoning it down south.
Oil and gas are last century's resources.

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

Agreed.
If you’re a journalist who’s still on Twitter, from now on in your writing you have to replace “the American people want” with “troll bots in Eastern Europe demand”
