I keep seeing Carney stans saying building fossil fuel infrastructure is a way to deal with Trump's threats. Really? Canada has to build infrastructure that'll last decades and won't even be finished for years to deal with a threat that'll be gone within 3 years? Your fear has made you very stupid.

Shell pre-empts the Prime Minister of Canada, announces expansion of LNG Canada overnight. TC Energy also announces doubling of Coastal Gaslink fracked gas pipeline capacity. More pollution, whale-injuring tanker traffic, flaring, conflicts, profits for foreign corps, fracking. Good for who?

(German for "Well done!"). AfD candidate Ulrich Siegmund replies: "Thank you, @elonmusk, for your support and for your clear and highly important perspective on the political developments of our time... If we take responsibility here, I would very much welcome the opportunity for strong and constructive cooperation. Germany would once again be a place worth investing in.
