Other than selling mediocre coffee and McMansions to each other, Canada has precious little else. That's why we cling like limpets to extractive industry: without it, we've got nothing because our governments have comprehensively failed to develop much of an industry, preferring to give tax breaks to oil barons and house traders.

I'm being a bit cynical here, but is it because the coal comes from BC?
No. If you want to be cynical, ask if they are still burning natural gas.
The natural gas comes from Alberta, the coal comes from BC though, no?
I think they are coal free ( regardless of source ). However, they are not “fossil fuel” free as in believe they still burn natural gas to generate electricity ( more than ever I think ).
Better but maybe not what people think when they boast about being “coal free”.
The walrus got two things wrong, right in the headline:
Canada
Alberta
On for dear life
..the rest of Canada hostage
Other than that, good title.
Canada is run by oil companies. They need to make hay while the sun shines. When the price crashes, their whales will already have quietly moved their assets elsewhere, and the people who actually use Canada as a place to live instead of as a colonialist state that exists to serve corporations will just be fucked. Tell me that's not the actual plan.
Don't worry, we can fall back on our #1 driver of GDP... real estate!
Not relevant, but am I the only one who sees that preview graphic and hears the "Level Passed" music from Super Mario Bros?
