    Right at the start of the biggest energy transition since the invention of gasoline, I might add.

    Canada has the same problem. We’re too closely tied to the USA and our leadership is also doubling down.

    We’re so fucked.

      I am not Canadian, but are Suncor and CNRL really not lobbying hard right now? I would have though they are the large players in Canadian oil sand and would be the force behind those pushes.

        I feel they don’t have to lobby very hard. Kinda got gravity working for them since we’re already a gas station for the USA.

        Not an issue I have at the tip of my tongue, so if that’s a gotcha, consider me got. :)
