Just thinking about how the money Canada spent on just one pipeline (TMX) could have bought every single Canadian an e-bike AND had billions left over.

Just let that sink in

Every adult and child, a free e-bike, and billions left over.

Instead we bought a pipeline.

Next we're gonna generationally invest in what? Solar? Micro-electric mobility? Battery tech? Agriculture? Health care? Kickstarting green industry?

Probably not. We're probably going to bankrupt the country for fossil fuel interests.

Carbon capture and storage will play absolutely no role in "the energy transition" as there's no evidence it can be scaled up in any meaningful way that even lowers emissions, and isn't creating energy either.

CCS is simply just a scam that's been designed by and for the fossil fuel industry so they can keep burning and profiting - and make you suffer for it.

Remember when the politicians kept telling us that Climate Change was too expensive to fight?

They said that Oil Executives buying mega yachts was more important than the rest of us having food, or viable living conditions.
