@mark-carney.bsky.social needs to realize it’s not just about economics - it’s also about values (something he wrote and used to care about). The PQ government will be a challenge - to date he has rolled over in his dealings with the provinces.

States who suspend their gasoline taxes are doing it for one reason, votes. It doesn’t fix a thing and exacerbates the problem. Lowering fuel prices when supplies are low creates more demand which lowers supply (basic supply/demand). H/T Mr. Global 🌎

Carney carefully weaves in his shock doctrine narrative, telling us why we have to do this NOW so “we can continue to live our lives as we choose.” The implication being: no oil pipeline, no sovereignty. Which is an unhinged thing to say, actually!

Suspending gas taxes is the easiest move for politicians to make when gas prices are high and it's also the dumbest. It does very little to alter the material conditions of constituents, but costs a shit ton of money while slightly diluting the market signal that high gas prices should send.

I don’t mind this - my understanding is that oil from Alberta coming to Ontario uses a pipeline that goes through the U.S. - this is a big risk exposure if relations got really bad, best to take this risk off the table.

Canada is preparing to spend tens of billions building a pipeline the oil companies themselves won’t finance. If this project made economic sense, industry would be leading it. Instead, the public is being asked to take the risk while foreign-owned oil companies collect the returns.
