There is a giant coal loading dock just outside of Vancouver called Roberts Bank… the coal mostly goes to China. Some of it comes from Canadian mines and plenty from the US through Blaine WA. How do you stop a juggernaut like that to satisfy someone’s idea of Net-0… side note.. Mr Carnage mentioned to Mr Trump in a phone call that he would be very critical of Mr Trump as a campaign strategy… the liberal boomers fell for it like kittens to a saucer of milk,
Canada is still under the English ideas, the Queen, Parliamentary procedures, and European ideas. The people keep voting the same socialistic behavior year after year. Trump should not have opened his mouth about the "Canadian statehood", but I support him totally for what he tries to do. Europe is a failure, but I guess the Canadians do not care. Get rid of Carney. You can do it. Revolution, folks! We are trying here in the US to do the same with the Democrat crowd.
I agree. But the guy just got elected — so he’s not going anywhere anytime soon. Carney’s main qualification was being the most anti-Trump candidate. He basically ran against Trump. And that was enough… Canadians turned a blind eye to the insane policies he’s been pushing.
From a Canadian living in the People's Republic of Canada.
Most of us do not want net-zero, heck most of us don't even want Mark Carney. I live in a traditionally socialist area of Canada (most people have traditionally voted for the pro-union NDP), however, in the last election, all 5 counties went conservative because of fear of the horrible policies of Mr. Carnage. Quite the flip flop, but it tells you what you need to know. How someone who has never been elected to anything became the leader of our country, I'll never know, but Alberta looks like they're voting with their feet. Saskatchewan and BC will be next. Quebec might go too, but nobody really cares if they do.
It's my understanding that until early April, Pierre Poilievre was poised to win in a landslide. But then the sentiment changed and you ended up getting Mr. Carnage.
Trump's trade trash talk allowed Carney to get his media (the subsidized media is partnered with the Liberals because the Conservatives would likely defund them) to pimp hysteria with Carney as the tough guy to stand up to Trump (with an empty hand) and that managed to persuade the mindless mushy middle to flip their mercurial support from Poilievre to Carney. As in most democracies at end stage (see Alexander Tytler on how all democracies die), the mindless mushy middle determine election outcomes in Canada. Carney now must rely on the Quebec separatists in Parliament to support his minority government in pursuing his green Jonestown cool aid (AKA net zero) and in fighting the Alberta separatists. Canadian politics is a Bizarro world.
Correct. Some say Mr Trump’s comments swayed the vote but sentiment for him is not particularly strong up here so that doesn’t compute. They’re now recounting votes because they believe the Liberals actually won a majority.
I’m not sure what you mean by nuclear being expensive and inflexible. I would say it’s expensive largely because it is politically charged, but a lot of that’s astroturfing from the nut zero crowd. Not inflexible at all, just use it for base load and get dispatchable power generation (gas, coal etc) for the rest. France has no problem using nuclear. Ruinables are truly inflexible and that’s why grids are getting more expensive and brittle.
Thanks for the comment. This wasn’t a knock on nuclear—I’m very bullish on it and hate what they’ve done to it across Europe (outside of France). That said, in this context, I was highlighting a few factors that make coal more viable in certain situations: it’s cheaper, quicker to ramp, and politically simpler in much of the world. That’s why it hasn’t gone away, and isn't going away any time soon.
Agreed on renewables, of course. They’re the real inflexible source—and a big part of why so many grids are becoming so fragile. Case in point: Spain.
more coal..... put the coal plans toproperty owned Global elites... spit them.......let them eat coal dust instead ofus eating the crickets they want to serve us

I think you nailed it, John... especially the part about the 'mindless mushy middle.' Appreciate the take.
