Mark Carney managed to trade a pipeline that will never get built for meaningful progress on industrial carbon pricing and electricity interties — both of which will get more wind and solar built.

Wear a mask in public indoor spaces and get vaccinated. More clean air in schools would also help, as would insisting healthcare workers wear masks - especially in hospitals.
Those 6 out of 10 could possibly turn Covid into an endemic and maybe a pandemic. Nobody wants anyone to die from covid and nobody wants another lockdown.
