He lives on forums just like his friend Eddie. They are a sad duo.

Actually I'm not that left leaning or millennial liberal in my way of thinking DKG DKG.

You may think I am but I'm really not. Ie - I don't support transgenders in women's sports, restrooms or prisons. That's pretty much the status quo in this forum including more right leaning people like Dove Dove caskur caskur.

I'm more a 1970s kinda liberal when liberalism made sense.

For example, I've never been comfortable with the LGBTQ movement either. I accept that they exist and are there but with the exception of lesbians I've never accepted their lifestyle. At least with lezzies they live a non destructive lifestyle and don't hurt anyone. But even they aren't comfortable with the transgender alliance.

I'm also fiscally Conservative too & think governments & people should try to live within their means and avoid debt as much as possible.

Anyway jes' my 2 bits DKG!

Sweetie, DKG never even mentioned politics. He said you live on forums and then you reply with something that is not a reply at all to what he said.

This is why everybody except for Lokmar and myself has you on ignore. And for me it's only because you have an adorable little bald spot.

It's part of his dead troll routine.

My honeybunch just wants attention. It's not too much to ask.

He can ask. But, the answer is no.

It's time for your partner to retire from forums.

You're talking about the friction burns around his freckle again, aren't you?

I told JoJo he can still collect his monthly Old Age Security check if he exits forums.

China is turning to Australia to secure canola supplies, dealing a fresh blow to Canada's $43.7-billion industry just days after Beijing imposed punishing tariffs on Canadian canola.

And Conman Carney does nothing while the country he doesn't even live in is getting economically raped.

We have a federal government on auto pilot.

Ontario has traditionally been the economic engine of Canada. But, the largest province that generates something like forty percent of the nation's econonomic output is in trouble due to systemic problems.

I think the Trump tariffs had a lot do with it DKG DKG

But we in the West have decided to help our Ontario Brothers and Sisters in need.

After all, we are all Canadians. We need to stick together.

Trump has caused havoc everywhere else in the world too.

It's not really Ontario's fault that they find themselves in this predicament.

Look at Hamilton. It really aint that much different than any other big city in Canada.

Canadian cities keep electing cunts like this.

Mr. Carney's new pact with Germany to provide critical minerals and more energy is good for the national economy. However, it is unlikely to achieve its full potential because of Liberal deference to Quebec. It's also not a commitment.

The United States Department of Energy recently published a report, which essentially summarizes the U.S. government's rejection of the 30-year-old, United Nations-centric, climate-alarmed consensus worldview. This has many implications for Canada.

The report also, not surprisingly, diverges from the UN-climate-alarmed consensus idea that the solution to climate change risk is global greenhouse gas (GHG) emission suppression. Rather, when it comes to policy, the report comes down firmly on the idea of adaptation to potential climate disruptions, regardless of cause: "Technological advances such as improved weather forecasting and early warning systems" have substantially reduced losses from extreme weather events. Better building codes, flood defences and disaster response mechanisms have lowered economic losses relative to GDP. Further, heat-related mortality risk has dropped substantially due to adaptive measures including the adoption of air conditioning (which relies on a robust economy) and the availability of affordable energy. "U.S. mortality risks... even under extreme warming scenarios are not projected to increase if people are able to undertake adaptive responses."

What does this mean for Canada?

First, one must assume that it portends a continued U.S. movement away from GHG mitigation efforts and programs involving direct emission suppression from sources such as power plants, manufacturing facilities, vehicles, commercial and residential buildings, and so forth.

It will also likely mean less intrusive efforts to suppress GHG emissions indirectly with various energy efficiency standards, agricultural practises and the mandated replacement of GHG-emission power production with lower/less-GHG emitting wind and solar technologies. Oh, and once again, the much-ballyhooed transition from internal combustion transportation to electric vehicles is likely to take it in the neck, at least in the U.S. for the next four years.

Again, what does this mean for Canada? In a nutshell, it means the U.S. will cut a fairly large amount of spending on GHG suppression measures while Canada (Carney government, et al) plans to increase such spending. And the U.S. will also cut spending—and consumer costs—for electric vehicles while Canada will increase both.

Because virtually all of the U.S. focus is about lowering the costs of energy and the technologies that use it—and energy is the foundational input of developed economies—all of that will likely make the U.S. more economically competitive, from the individual to the firm, compared to Canada.

The more Canada elbows up and doubles down on joining the UN's GHG-suppression regime, the less competitive Canada will make itself compared to the U.S., which—Trump's tariffs and current politics notwithstanding—remains the most relevant touchstone for whether or not Canadian policies are economically rational.
