Canada has only specified Meta and Google as targets for the law.

This is actually not true. The US has contributed almost double the total emissions of China.

So, you really don't have an argument, huh?

I don't think the US has the best track record, exactly... Afghanistan was a fucking mess.

That's why they need Africa lol

TheHill is propaganda? I guess any article that you don't like is also propaganda, then...

Gaming and HFR support.

Good old immigration fear mongering.

In a statement released Saturday, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith criticized Guilbeault's comments around a net-zero electricity grid by 2035 and the emissions cap on oil and gas, which she calls a "de facto oil and gas production cut."

Gee I don't know, maybe if these companies would invest in carbon capture they wouldn't have to deal with a production cut?

MAID prevents messier suicides.

The fact that it's necessary is a disappointing condemnation of our healthcare system, but it's better than blowing your brains out or jumping off of a bridge.

Oh, yeah for sure. I do imagine that this deal looks more promising to Africa (than any Western one) solely because of China's lack of hard power in the region. China can't project power because their navy is tailored specifically for operation in the South China Sea. China's blue water fleet can't do shit. China knows this and Africa knows this. China only has soft power in Africa, so there's a strong incentive to keep everyone happy because they can't just pull an Iraq if someone doesn't pay.

Does that make the news... False?

Sure, DeSmog isn't the most well-known site, but EUobserver has also reported in this: https://euobserver.com/eu-political/157247

Is journalism biased because it doesn't agree with your worldview? That's one hell of an authoritarian take.

Edit: For context, EUobserver is one of the most influential news sources for EU officials. It's widely considered to be reputable and fair in its journalism.

Articles from Al Jazeera? What exactly is your standard for journalism that even Al Jazeera is considered to be too biased for you? It's not like OP is posting FoxNews articles or anything.

Turns out a weak regulatory environment leads to more environmental impact, I guess.

I mean, thehill is still a pretty reputable news source, so why does it matter who posts it?

Canada has no core industries with a competitive edge except for resource extraction.

Bombardier tried and got fucked by the US.

Nortel tried and got fucked by China.

Blackberry tried and got fucked by itself.

Canada does have the potential for innovation, it just requires far more economic protectionism than most governments have the stomach for.

Today? I think Canada has a ton of potential if a few key categories without competition: agricultural technology, forestry technology, fisheries technology. Canada is also investing heavily into emerging fields like quantum computing and nuclear fusion. What's missing is support for fields that are popular today: robotics, artificial intelligence, and skilled heavy manufacturing (trains, planes, etc.). That's a problem.

Canada needs to better isolate it's technology from competitors in the US and China. We can't let them tear our companies to shreds.

The main purpose of CPI is to see if Canadians can still make ends meet. It's not supposed to express price increases, but cost of living increases.

People change their habits as prices change. That's well-known.

so... you really do have no argument, huh? You claim that taking state subsidies makes a company state-sponsored.

I claim that that's stupid, because it means that Intel and Microsoft would be considered state-sponsored enterprises.

track record from instances is poor

lots of tankies that just so happen to be whatever nationality that want to be

Didn't she do that by literally running legitimate tests in the background?
