Cops are not judges, they aren't even required to have an accurate knowledge of the law. Disarm and defund police, put the money into education, healthcare and public transit.
By their nature you can't out-carbon fossil fuels. You're pitting millions of years of concentrated surface carbon against a few hundreds of years worth.
To capture all the fossil fuel we burn in a year naturally we would have to grow and then log a whole extra earth of forest.
The only reason gasoline cars are "cheap" in Canada are the billions in subsidies that go to petro corps. Canada is playing the same game and China but both countries are fucking Canadians.
THERE IS NO AFFORDABLE ELECTRIC CAR IN CANADA The cheapest electric cars in Canada are ~$40k whereas the cheapest ICE cars are $25K. As much as China is a huge economic problem for the world in general the burden should be on the ruling class who created this problem not the people on the bottom.
A better response would be to stop subsidizing oil and put those billions into the development of affordable electric cars for the North American market. A sedan, minivan, crossover and compact pickup that are under $40k to totally pull the rug out from under Chinese competition. I don't know anyone who would take a Chinese car even if it was 1/3 the price, they burned their reputation for safety years ago.
Our car got stolen from out driveway in Waterdown. When we called the police they said:
Why are you calling us, call your insurance company
The neighbour's CRV was stolen 24hrs later. Police don't prevent crime they only punish those that police suspect of being a criminal (or people they just don't like). Cut their funding and put it into education, healthcare or transit.
