Oh Canada ...

Just what is the government's plan for vehicles for the Canadian North? Where are their voices heard in all this?

For a large part of our Canadian map, the sun barely pokes above the horizon at this time of the year. In some places, it doesn't even come up for months, and most of winter is spent in an extreme cold, dark, and windless condition, like deep space. So what's their plan for energy for these areas?

The idiots consider the entire country of Canada to be a narrow strip of land running parallel to the US border.

Are we really going to abandon the North by cutting them off from oil, force people to get around using electric snowmobiles they can only charge in the summer sun, and have them burn seal and whale oil for heat? What about the opening up of the Northwest passage? Do we just walk away and give everything lying north of Edmonton to Putin? All this for a futile attempt to reduce Canada's 1.5% of global emissions by half of one percent, while China brings on two new coal fired power plants a week?

This is not even a plan that looks ahead into a warmer future for the North. With warming, the summers will still be short but warmer.  Winters don't change. We will be able to grow crops further north. We will be able to open up land and develop and settle further north. Vast areas of the country previously of useless tundra and permafrost, will turn to boreal forest. So what's the plan for this future?

Fortunately, the Liberals will be phased out long before ICE vehicles will.

However, if the current plan goes forward, we will certainly need to change the lyrics to reflect a more Liberal national anthem:



O Canada. Our home and native land.
Treasonous love, the eco nuts command.

'With saddened hearts, we see thee cry,
our True North left to freeze.'

From far and wide,
O Canada, we make life hard for Thee.

God keep our land, fossil fuel free.
O Canada, we make life hard for Thee.

O Canada, we make life hard for Thee.



Got oil?

Great post Migraine!  In a worst case scenario, we have 2 years left to listen to the Liberals rant about climate change and phasing out ICE vehicles. If we have a true democracy, then Canadians should be allowed to vote on these matters without an authoritarian government forcing a shutdown of an entire industry. Let's make the strong survive and let the people decide without

Jay...You and many others here talk about this wonderful brave new world assuming that Trudeau gets turfed in the next election. While I have zero regard for Trudeau and will be very happy of he gets voted out, there are two thinhgs that have to happen. One is that the Liberals actually get defeated.  My Liberal Party friends say that between now and the next election there is a strong

I loved this! I couldn't agree more.    I'm one of those people who took the leap and lives on solar, had to try it. It works great... All summer... However my 27kw propane powered Cummins generator fires up ever day or two from Mid November to the end of February. I'm not even that far north but couldn't imagine having to choke down and EV. I couldn't charge it
