Canada emits way more per capita than China. And China is a world leader in electrification and renewables. Again, things that we should be doing instead of glazing oil and gas. Roll your eyes all you want, but Canada's 1.5% of global emissions, when we are 0.5% of the global population is an atrocious climate crime.
Your precious incomes will soon be worth squat by the way, the way the climate crisis is unfolding. How many times does your house have to burn or flood before you realize that? My own insurance premiums have gone up because of shit like this and my municipality here in Montreal has to completely rethink storm drainage with sponge parks everywhere. Who pays for that I wander? Look beyond your nose... Climate crisis resilience is something we all pay for. Plank in my eye, get off your high horse and face the music, buddy. The petro-state lifestyle is almost over.
And like I said, against regressive sales taxes. I want to tax capital gains, corporate profits.
It's also ridiculous how you keep touting your life being better because of your wallet. I guess education for the next generation isn't among the things that matter for a good life over there. I guess I'm too Greek sometimes and too stuck up on ideals of education. Who needs ευ ζειν when your taxes are low. Somebody tell Aristotle's ghost the barbarians have other ideas.
Yes, we barbarians in the west hate education. Thats why I have 7 years of post secondary with two degrees and my daughter is not only a Ph.D but an MD. Her husband is an MD. And my son is a school principal with his Masters. We're all just dumbies over here in lala petroland.
Since WHEN does the climate care about PER CAPITA emissions? Emissions are a GLOBAL problem which means the climate does not look at every person's output, it only matters what the TOTAL emissions are. And even if we totally shut down the oil patch it wouldn't make more than 0.5% difference. Thats a margin of error considering this is all based on computer modelling and the data inputs are what makes the most difference.
Lovely that China is actually trying to change its horrid practices. They are still 30% of the worlds problem. From ONE country.
The petrostate is here for another 50 years til there are better affordable, reliable alternatives. Get used to it. (The first time I heard oil and gas was in decline was in 1970. Yep. Still waiting 55 years later)
Pay your teachers.
