$9.8 B deficit due in part to $7.3 B subsidies to #electricity users for high cost #nuclear and gas. Wouldn’t you rather fund #health care? #onpoli #fordnation #triplewindandsolar @spaikin tvo.org/article/why-should-t…
Why should the government send me $9 a month to help me pay my hydro bill?

Why should the government send me $9 a month to help me pay my hydro bill?

People living on a lower income should keep their subsidy. Those who make higher incomes don’t need it — and the money could go to far better use.

Alberta has put a moratorium in wind and solar?! And will require mandatory end of lied bonds?!! Is this a joke? There 97,000 inactive oil wells not properly closed and 71,000 abandoned wells requiring clean-up. How about bonds for oil and gas?!!! #cdnpoli theglobeandmail.com/business…

While Sweden's switch to #HeatPumps reduced their emissions from the building sector 95%, in #Canada heat pumps supplied only 6% of residential heating in 2021. Sweden's ace was a carbon tax that raised the price of heating oil. theenergymix.com/2023/05/07/…
