The simplicity of this thread is fabulous. It quickly refutes so many misconceptions. The comparison of gas to solar is simplification at its best. Many Canadian politicians still consider gas to be a vehicle of transition. That’s not going to happen!

Allowing organizations like Rebel Media to pose questions in the French debate was a terrible decision. Phrasing questions to include lies and disinformation serves no one. I hope that is not the case for tonight‘s English debate. People should be allowed to sue news organizations for lying.

Depressing but true. Canada‘s oil industry is rapidly becoming extinct and now North America is about to lose its auto industry to China. Then what? A catastrophic failure to anticipate the future by Canada‘s voters/politicians.
