With the rallying cry “make polluters pay”, do hope that Folks can appreciate this applies to ALL of us? Far more than gasoline comes out of a barrel of oil, every part of modern daily life REQUIRES various components of that barrel, which ‘Clean Energy’ simply cannot replace. Research helps.

We need to remember, it is not ‘Us’ or ‘Them’. We are all in the same boat. There is no ‘Off’ switch, it is more than an addiction, it IS part of every day life. www.linkedin.com/posts/justin...

Avi raises an excellent point. It’s not about addressing a Conservative in the running, it’s about progress and energy. Other Ridings are facing a Liberal/Conservative choice, and the answer is clear, Mark Carney. After 30+ years with declining engagement, Van Center needs vigour and drive.

Please Canadians, remember about Smartvoting.ca If we vote for the strongest candidate who is not a Conservative we can ensure Poilievre does not form a government. Even Pierre's own riding is vulnerable. Please get the message out 🇨🇦

Global Shipping represents just three (3%) of Global Emissions, yet carriers more that 90% of ALL Food and Consumable Goods worldwide. Try going after the other 97% BEFORE breaking the back of Shipping. This is like DOGE ‘fixing’ Social Security, it WILL bite us in the a*s.

I started out ‘Blue Collar’ in the Maritime World and worked my way up to the very top, becoming a Master Mariner. To this day, the foundation built upon my time ‘Working on Deck’ has served me well. When you’ve ‘Been there and Done that’ NO ONE can take it away from you.

Yes, it does. But, if alternatives were viable, why would they would simply be ignored? My point is we have to move from today’s reality to the a better solution. Phased change is required, not amputation of source materials immediately. Imagine the starvation death tolls.

‘Oil’ is far more than gasoline, it actually provides for so much of our daily lives, that cannot easily be replaced. Medicines, Fertilizers, I could go on, but it is essential for people to do their own homework. Once people realize we are in the same boat, we will all be better off.

Canada had a less severe recession in 2008-'09 not only bc we have stronger banking regs but thanks to PM Carney as Governor of the Bank of Canada. I trust Carney's economic expertise to keep our economy strong & avoid the economic ruin Trump threatens with his tariffs. Poilievre has NO expertise.
