Oh whatever. Jesus people really have no idea how things are like in the rest of the country.
Here's my take: If fossil fuels really are going as quickly as people think they are, then the federal Liberals should just say so. They should have let TM2 die.
The Alberta NDP had four goddamned years to say "yup, all of you in the O&G industry should try to find other jobs."
The goddamned BC coalition should have said two years ago "yup, we're turning off TM by X date."
But no. That's not what happened, nor what's happening.
No, Vancouver is not going carbon free by 2030. What a load of crap.
Christ, you might as well believe every politician's goddamned claim that they're going to end poverty.
Stop thinking the politicians you like are telling the truth.
