Reposted by Jeremy 🇨🇦Nicholas Rae @nickrae.bsky.social · 01/10/2026The complete disregard for urban left voters by the NDP is expected and disappointing. Once again the failure of governments to build more housing in supposedly urban places has left the parties to fight over suburban voters who can only be bought by inefficient gas subsidies 2157

The only real way to drive down expensive fossil fule energy costs is reduce dependency on it.

Jeremy 🇨🇦 @jeremy77.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Want to save even more? Use transit, ride a bicycle, get an electric car. Consumer subsidies probably get votes but this isn’t what standing up to big oil looks like. Finding ways to reduce or eliminate oil dependency is! 000
Jeremy 🇨🇦 @jeremy77.bsky.social · 01/10/2026This doesn’t math at all. $175 at $0.10 you would need to purchase 1,750L of gasoline per month! At current prices that would be about $3,500 per month! This is also a deeply lame policy move. Instead of spending money to reduce oil dependency we are spending money directly subsidizing it’s use. 120
