  • Albertan oil has displaced a massive amount of coal, which has actually lead to a reduction in c02 emissions.

    If you want to fight climate change more effective actions would be rezoning housing federally for unlimited density based on a total free market like Japan did, and investing in mass transit. We do still remain the only country in the G7 without high speed rail.

    The problem is climate change is used as a political grift to attract votes, they dont actually care about fighting it, if you did you’d also be cutting off Chinese imports and dealing with a tidal wave of mortgage defaults from inflation and higher interest rates.











  • Well your country may have been on stolen land, what if you had a group of people near you that wanted to take the land back by force; are you willing to give up your own house?

    The whole question is absurd, you’re not going to, and you’re also not going to let them continue attacking you, because your desire to save your family from rape and murder is greater than your empathy.


  • These Gazans are going to get eliminated, nobody wants to help them, just ask Kuwait and Lebanon. Israels tolerance for terrorism was the only reason they were still alive to begin with, and the murder spree has broken that tolerance.

    Imagine if you were an Israeli citizen and there were religious fanatics coming into your towns and murdering and kidnapping everyone, what would be your response and expectation of your government?





  • Why stop there? Clean water is a convenience isn’t it? What about fire departments? That’s a convenience. People could do these things on their own. They should be rugged individualist and always take care of themselves right? Why do we need roads? People should just pave their own roads right?

    I believe water is done privately, as are utilities. Roads are obviously difficult to do when managing the various tolls, and eminent domain, an issue package delivery would never run into. Fire department I think you’d run into issues with housing density, given you can just let peoples house burn down without affecting others.

    But I can understand the desire I suppose, I just feel like we are subsidizing private corporations. I’d at least like a law that required it was free shipping only for Canadian companies or maybe Canadian product.
