Canadians are generally centre-right or centre-left. The role of government is to reflect the population, not Absolute Militant Monarchists like me or American style republicans, dark blue tories or the left wing of the NDP. Taxme, Yzer and me are outliers who should not expect the government to cater to our fringe beliefs. I don't expect the government to cater to my beliefs simply pointing out that most Canadians do not want change hence why Trudeau and O'Toole are practically political twins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queenmandy85 Posted September 17, 2021 Report Share Posted September 17, 2021 Before you criticize a politician, are you willing to put your life on hold for two years, spend 80 - 100K on a nomination and campaign to come in second? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more oil and gas we can export the richer we will be. Also, the more sources of oil and gas the cheaper they will be in the world, which might lure more countries away from coal.

How many future generations are going to be able to profit from it? If real energy alternatives under intensive development now (Like Fusion power) work and spread it might become worth a lot less.

Just like the 1000's of jobs solar farms were to create in Ont. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fusion and fission generated power only works if you had coal to make steel and oil to lubricate the turbines. Nothing moves without lubrication (oil). Our entire technological civilization only exists with the three pillars of coal, iron ore and oil. Remove any one of those pillars and we are back in the dark ages without the means to feed the people. We need to conserve these resources for future generations.

If you want to boost the economy, start pushing nuclear power. Whether Mr. Trudeau or Mr. O'Toole wins, they have already gone on the record that they intend to push the nuclear option. Whether Mr. Trudeau wins or loses this election will be forgotten to history very quickly. Regardless of the result of this election, the Government will continue as before because a Government's range of options are very narrow. Sorry for the thread drift.
