why is Alberta so loving convinced this is the only thing they've got? how is oil extraction literally the only industry in the entire province?

self-fulfilling prophesy

loudly tell yourself it's all you've got for 40 years and you raise a generation of people who legitimately don't understand that there can be other industries

Oil and gas is only 7% of employment in the province, per one of their local "government advisor / frequently quoted in media" economists, Trevor Tombes.

this rises to 100% when you include all the people whose jobs depend on selling hamburgers, lifted pickups, and mcmansions to oil workers

I wonder if the 7% includes the people who fly in and out every couple weeks since they spend basically nothing in the province unless they're dodging PST/HST on larger purchases. (Presumably there are a lot fewer of those than a few years ago, but)

I'm forcibly reminded of a terrible milk ad the internet insists it's never heard of. Some kid of Middle-Eastern descent is spinning a globe in a classroom, a kid asks him what he's doing, and he answers "I'm watching the world go round". The video cuts to scenes from around world, and at the end, globe kid, question kid and some other kid all have tall glasses of milk for some reason. Then one of them toasts the others with "Here's to you, me, and Chateau milk" :wtc::wtc::wtc:

So yeah, they've been "starting us young" for a long friggin time, and this current campaign is absolutely an improvement.

4C vs 5C are both firmly in the nightmare future-scenario region so in that respect there's not much difference between Canada and the US. The point is that the centrist trope that "things are getting incrementally better" is flatly contradicted by physical reality, as the current political consensus is launching the world straight to disaster. In the Canadian context the federal carbon plan is just no-where near enough.


Hmmmmmm


edit: Snarking aside several provinces have significantly reduced emissions per capita over the past couple of decades. It's just not fast or universal enough.

see im not allowed to post in d&d because of the fascists mods but this graphic just prove what ive been saying all along, Quebec is a carbon sink, any coercive/authoritarian measure to fight global warming is a scam and we need to GTFO out of this piece of poo poo racist rear end involuntary union
