Fuck, talking to my father(a man who just described the CBC as too woke earlier this week) about this is going to be rough.

Good. Why do we subsidize companies that gouge us while reporting record profits? Had they done this 20 years ago maybe the country wouldnโ€™t be on fire.

Had the o&g companies published their 1970's findings that their continued existence meant the end of ours, maybe the whole planet wouldn't be, either.

I hate the word "soon".

We've been saying "soon" for decades. Just rip the bandaid off & fscking do it!

Incrementalism will literally be the death of us - by wild fire or drowning.

The Federal Minister making the announcement in the article specifically talks about other ways oil and gas can access other subsidies. It's just not oil & gas specific subsidies.
