Quote As the efficiency grows and the costs tumble, renewables and and nuclear etc...will replace fossils. Not years but a few decades. That will probably happen but to replace fossil fuels we will need new technology we just don't have yet. But that will probably come too, they're working on it and they're getting closer all the time to Technologies that actually would provide the power we need in a fashion that we can use it affordably and effectively as we currently use fossils. There's no real doubt in my mind that just as we went from wood to coal, and cold oil, and oil to natural gas etc that the day will come when we move from oil to the next evolution which will almost certainly be mostly green We can all hope that it happens sooner rather than later. 1 Quote "That which doesn't kill me...

Why do you ignore facts? You don't seem to believe the oil industry contributes billions of dollars to the Canadian economy. What kind of alt reality do you live in? Your postings don't make sense at all. I reply, not because you will listen. I know you won't. I reply so others reading your nonsense don't accidentally believe you. The oil industry in Alberta creates thousands of jobs and brings in billions of dollars in royalties and taxes. How do you think Alberta has been so rich and provides billions of dollars to Quebec in equalization payments? Where do you think that money comes from? The oil industry. You don’t understand economics, because the royalties we receive from oil exploitation come out of your own pocket. Corrupt people made you believe you could benefit from it, but in reality, you’re only getting back a tiny fraction of your own money. Exemple: The company extracts a barrel worth $60 from the ground, sells it to the consumer, and returns $10 to the government, which uses that money to fund public services. So in reality, you pay $60 and only get $10 back — meaning you lose $50 Edited October 31, 2025 by Gaétan 1 Quote

Liberals would be asking for MAID in record numbers....drug use would spike so liberal's could cope.... and lets not even get into the PP haters....crap they would be falling from the skys with no parachutes....in the cities....we would be up to our bellies in crap.... But the next day after the clean up, conservative polices would start to undo the liberal mistakes over the last 10 plus years.....Justin would be locked up, in a semi trailer with glass walls that would tour the country so conservatives could throw rotten vegetables at him for 10 bucks a throw...we could solve the deficit with just one cross country tour... It is just to much work right now, maybe next year when we are all ready for the parting and round up... I love the idea of arresting Turdeau and then be able to put that pos in a glass trailer and take him on a tour across Canada. Geez, i would pay a hundred bucks just to be able to throw anything at him as the little weasel and coward crouches down on the trailer floor and hopes that the glass does not break. That slim ball needs to pay for his crimes that he has committed against Canadians and crimes against humanity for what that slim ball has done to Canada and Canadians in the past ten years. I say keep him in that trailer forever as far as i am concerned. That is the least that we could do to him. Works well for me!! PS: There is nothing more for me to hope for than for the conservatives to win the next election. What i fear the most is that many of those millions of lieberal lovers and supporters out there will once again vote for the lieberals again. Those lieberals are not well known for being very intelligent. Those same lieberals seem to love taken it up the arse all the time. They not only hurt themselves but they also will hurt them selves and the rest of the intelligent conservative people out there who are smart and wise enough to not want to have another four more years of lieberal Marxist WEF globalist years. The conservatives should be offering a lot of goodies for Canadians if they want to get elected, like getting rid of the GST, no taxes on tips, no taxes on overtime and especially no taxes on Old Age Security. That would be a big YES for the old timers. I am pretty sure that would be enough for everyone to win over and want to vote for the conservatives, especially for the old timers, which should get their vote for the conservatives. There is nothing more that we old timers want to hear is that the government is going to finally give me a few more extra bucks in my pension check. Hey, we could get that money back by cutting foreign aid and no more money for illegal and illegal asylum phony refugees. If you enter Canada illegally, you should not have any access to Canadian taxpayer's tax dollars. Just pick them all up and ship them all out. It is time for some tough love here in Canada No more wussy-**** stuff and nonsense anymore. We must all think Canada first. 👍😇 Edited October 31, 2025 by taxme 1 Quote

Again that's not really accurate. It would be more reasonable to say he's acting like a bully or possibly a slum landlord. Thanks to 10 years of liberal mismanagement he now has us by the short and curlies and he's leveraging that to get what he sees as best for his country.

Batteries are effective for urban use but pose ecological challenges. Oil, though dominant, is incompatible with climate goals. Critical Perspective Batteries are sold to us as a miracle solution. But their production pollutes, exploits children in mines, and depends on limited resources. Oil? It destroys our health, our climate, our future. Hydrogen, on the other hand, emits only water vapor. It refuels in 5 minutes. It can be produced locally, without dependence on multinationals. So why not invest massively? Because oil and battery lobbies deliberately slow its development.
