Yes, keep this disaster in front of people’s eyes. 👏

Great. So he wouldn’t mind of the EU rearms its defensive capabilities a bit.

While also notifying readers of the caveats of the source. ☺️

OMG, “respectful and firm,” that’s an election-losing rhetoric in the current political climate.

“respectful and firm” vs “will meet after Trump says Canada is a sovereign country”

I’m gonna make a bet today - I think PP will lose the election and by more than a few percentage points.

I explained why. People will not bear the stick and instead beat you with it by electing fossil fuel funded governments that kill decarbonization policies. Policies and governments that ignore people’s material conditions do not last long in a democratic system. I don’t like where people currently are, commuting with F150s in the GTA, but that’s the reality. It’s alright if you don’t buy that but I don’t think my argument is devoid of reason.

You’re confusing me with someone else. Elbows up!

Thanks!

No idea. I’m not suggesting this as an alternative to decarbonization. I’m thinking of the wide socioeconomic costs that the recent inflation shock produced in Canada and abroad. Such crises are often used by political opportunists and large capital to usurp power and introduce more neoliberal policy favouring capital over labour. And capital in Canada still really likes fossil fuels. So from that perspective, I’d like to get a hold of this even if it costs more on an ongoing basis. At the same time do massive investments into electrification. If we don’t control the domestic price of fossil fuels, price shocks put decarbonization policies on the chopping block. Just look at what happened to the carbon tax during the last shock.

I don’t doubt it’s uneconomical in a free market sense. When you’re thinking of the costs of decoupling domestic fuel prices from the global market, are you also considering the costs of inflation during global price shocks? And I don’t mean just the pure economic costs of inflation, I also mean the downstream political and stability costs, such as disruption of decarbonization policy.

Way to go NS!

No, Canada would become a US territory. They can’t be stupid enough to make Canada a represented state.

Can’t wait for today’s episode of What The Hell Canada!

Does demo stand for demolition here?

Fucking hell.

Do you have a link with info on different antennas and pattern characteristics?

Fossil fuel prices in Canada can be decoupled from the global market if we really wanted to. We’d have to move to full domestic supply from extraction through refining to the pump. Then regulate the price in a supply management style. If we did that we wouldn’t have to be subject to price shocks caused by OPEC reducing supply, or remote wars breaking out.

Then obviously reducing consumption makes the whole problem smaller. But I don’t know if we can resolve enough by reducing consumption alone.

So this sounds like a number they won’t be able to easily cover up.

True but Big Social would have many orders of magnitude more lawsuits to deal with. I guess it might still not matter.

Well, luckily many large Lemmy instances are outside the US. 😂

I’d make this optional encouragement instead of requirement. I try to add alt text to the images I post in general. Sometimes I have the time to do it, other times I don’t. If I had to always add it, I’d simply not post when I don’t have the time to add it.
