Mark Carney aka Mr. Net-Zero and Coal...

[BTDT]

If someone is pushing Net-Zero, then they should be following their rule and not taking flights all over the place or being driven around in gas powered vehicles. Practice what you preach! In fact, instead of flying here and there, use the internet and Zoom for meetings.

But I came across this after a friend informed me of it. What is Canada's second biggest export to China? Coal!

And how is Carney involved? Brookfield now has a 49% stake in coal in Australia, down from a 100% some years ago. 

And then Brookfield also got involved in Rockwood Health Care where the coal miners are being denied claims. What else is new as I have no use for banks and insurance companies. One of the reasons why I had no pity for Brian Thompson's shooting last December of United Health Care with a denial rate of 34%.

Unfortunately, it seems we just can't see news like this on Canada's Progaganda Channel aka CBC.

Carney in the coal mine...

1. So if someone believes in the long-term reduction of Carbon they should walk everywhere or bike ?  That's ridiculous.   He's the PM.
2. Good for you for recognizing our stake in dirty fuel.  I would think Carney is not involved in Brookfield anymore, or at least is arm's-length from any investment there.
3. I found more than ten pages of stories on coal when I googled "Coal exports" site:CBC.ca

Example:

Good word play on "Carney in the coal mine" btw ...

So, you want them to travel this country and the world by balloon? You are aware that electric vehicles are not made in Canada?

Actually, Canadas biggest export to China is crude petroleum. Then gold is second. Then rapeseed is third.

You are aware Carney has nothing to do with Brookfield now and that they were in business long before Carney came aboard? Brookfield has been in business for 125 years. Carney was there for a few years amongst being board member or chairman of many other companies. Do you even know what Brookfield is or does??

So, it's OK to shoot anyone in the back???

I think you spend too much time on social media and believing it without fact checking.   LOL

[Michael Hardner]

Actually Carney would look good in a top hat, taking off in a balloon to go Around the World in 80 Days...

He's kind of a David Niven type...

1. So he is the PM and as useless as the last one? That makes him what...God? I guess you believe in Kings and Queens thinking they are far better than the people.

2. But he was and made decisions there.

3. Was Carney mentioned in those articles? If not, how convenient!

Apparently you are not very good at reading. I said second biggest export to China, not the first simply because of the link to the article.

1. Yeah, maybe ?   What's your point ?  Did Harper ride around on an electric bike ?
2. The LEAP !
3. Yeah, and your assertion regarding CBC coverage is adddressed.
4. Yes, some of them...

Don't know, but was he pushing Net-Zero? I don't recall him saying so and I have a good memory.

I hate double standards and aren't they always put out by those that have. I remember seeing DH Charles stating "you'll have nothing and be happy". Sure no problem, right after Charles gives up his creature comforts, I'll be right in line. Give up you castles, your cars and get a real job. Effing Monarchy!

The second biggest export is gold and then rapeseed as I stated .

The 2023 report listed coal, but does it matter if it is 1st, 2nd or 3rd or 4th.

Canola was 1st.

I never saw a 2024 report, but then what do you expect from a bunch of overpaid and underworked Public Servants working from home doing SDA.

Funding for electric cars, funding environmental research... I suppose so.
It's not a double-standard if you say "we should do this thing more" and you can't do it for practical reasons...

"You'll have nothing and be happy" is a meaningless nothing, which has been copy/pasted to shock people into thinking that Marxism is imminent, IMO.  You're proving my point by mis-attributing the quote that you remember.

This says someone named Ida Auken wrote it.

Anyway, moving on...

You need to find another angle for the Brookfield narrative.  The fact is that they're one of the world's largest investors in renewable energy.

That says a lot about you....   

[herbie]

Yes and unlike some other hypocrites he's not spending 100% of his time demanding we EXPAND those exports or we'll all die.
Or even a cost efficient way to make steel which is what they're buying the coal for.

I do not have an issue with EVs as long as di*khead Justin Trudeau or di*khead Mark Carney does not come out with an unreal policy that all cars shall be EVs in a few years because both of them have absolutely no background in anything to make that decision.

I am pretty sure he does not know who he dislikes or even likes.

He is like Oscar the Grouch on Sesame Street LOL

He just likes to constantly complain like Polievre and never help to make anything better

[herbie]

Some people are just scared. Change? Akkkk akkk aaaaakkk!

Who gives a shit when you want to go from A to B what makes the wheels turn? Like even if it costs less per trip and equally as convenient.

Specially those who think unless you cross the desert in sandals and row across the Atlantic in 2025 or you shouldn't give the slightest damn about the environment.
