Well you see peak oil is a myth by pseudo intellectuals trying to push a narrative. Global energy demand will continue upwards for the foreseeable future, because greater energy per person means a higher standard of living.
Renewables are also fully dependent on China, who refines the bulk of metal on the planet, since they have no environmental regulation; and its a very energy intensive process where they can undercut others by generating over 60% of their energy from coal.
Its also intermittent so requires batteries and backup energy sources, unless its something like nuclear or hydro, which is either messy or geographically limited. Somehow France could do nuclear in the 60s but we cant do it now, as many climate zealots try to convince us nuclear isnt green, so government bureaucracy inflates costs.
Armstrong’s bill was motivated by a recent $750,000 fine issued by the BC Human Rights Tribunal against former Chilliwack school trustee Barry Neufeld over his comments about LGBTQ people.
This seems pretty complicated and messy, as it does seem someone is being fined 750k for their speech, which sounds like the bill being revoked is the thing removing free speech rights. Given this article lacks any detail or nuance does anyone have any real specifics?
When he kept all the same ministers and appointed Gregor Robinson as housing minister, after he destroyed Vancouver's real estate sector, it was immediately obvious. He's a Brookfield shill.
Even Mark Wiseman of the century initiative is there, after his hair brained mass immigration scheme decimated the poor.
In 2023, he retweeted a Globe and Mail column calling for that dramatic increase in immigration levels to become federal policy “even if it makes Quebec howl.”
Japan had the same problem as Canada before they rezoned housing federally for density, wiping out hundreds of miles of single family homes to build highrises.
If you see a aerial view of Toronto there really is no city, relative to most metropolis in the world. The problem is entirely government created.
If anything it seems more like crony capitalism, when the CPI is understated and all investments are excluded it drives down borrowing rates and bond yields, which raises stock values and provides a stream of revenue to those with access to the most credit.
People like Elon Musk who avoid paying taxes by borrowing cheap debt, which who would lend to him their own capital when his collateral is Tesla stock and silly ideas like space datacenters. Which is entirely built on speculation and pumps to new all time highs whenever QE is unloaded into the market; they would be taking the risk that Tesla doesnt go to 0 for a small fixed income payout, if it was their own money and a bailout wasnt guaranteed.
Late stage capitalism just means late stage fiat currency doesn't it, since all the money flooding in is debt and QE, and every dollar created and placed into the market is new cheap debt issuance?
Then we bail all the bad debt out when it fails, so the perverse incentive to issue bad debt is always there, because its not capitalist and nobody would backstop this mess if it was their own capital.
The Federal government is currently buying half of all mortgage bonds to inflate prices with cheap debt and printed money, as new housing minister who ruined Vancouvers housing market Gregor Robinson says housing is an investment.
Don't elect liberals if you don't want the poor to be destroyed by a regressive home prices.
Perhaps Russia is now justified in doing whatever it wants, does that mean we stop hearing people like Carney call out "Russia's illegal war on Ukraine" when we dont stand by international law ourselves?
I'd guess things like tariffs from the country holding the world reserve currency are also now justified, even though it causes crisis in countries that utilize it for global trade. Everyone gets to just do whatever benefits them and we stop attempting to harmonize or maintain some semblance of law and order as we embrace economic nihilism.
Well that's succinctly put, I didnt really understand the gravity of Carneys action. By supporting Trump hes supporting the exact same thing his speech was supposedly calling out, US hegemony and a disregard for the international order, which makes it seem more like sloganeering to attempt to garner a majority than actual principle or good faith.
