aka the Vancouver principal. Ex: I am totally for something that I poorly understand and feel it doesn’t impact my life. I am happy to vote for politicians that pander to my ignorance, because it makes me feel better.
I didn’t support the NDP doing what they did with coal. Its not because I don’t believe in a green future, rather we need to transition this properly. Alarmism only makes those with vested interests richer.
So we don’t want Keystone? Fine, but Obama can tell you about all the pipe he got built during his term to rich backers. None of it made our lives on earth better. Rather people that aren’t Canadians got richer.
Its sad because the problems the US is facing is a result of this stuff. One side trying to cancel out the other and it’s getting worse. Makes it easy for a Trump to rise and pretend he is the savior.
