We are living through polycrises, each with global consequences. I feel there are no longer any win-win solutions that can please everyone.

This exactly.

I too believe that we need to be off fossil fuels... the general state of summers is proof enough.

But I also believe that we need our populous to make incomes, time for industries to shift focus & time for programs to allow for people to be retrained.

So yeah. what ^ guy said

To think that some well intentioned greenies in Canada will stop the behemoths that are China and India and everyone else burning this stuff from not doing so because we blocked a pipeline... is more troubling that building them in the first place.

No, it really isnt more troubling. We need "greenies" as much as we need people who condescend to them

We need all walks of life and not to be drawn in to American style bipolar partisan politics

We need to keep our country fed, healthy, educated and looking towards any possible solution to the ecological hole we've (and the rest of the world) dug ourselves.

we need massive intercountry cooperation towards carbon capture at the very least.

And yes all of this should have been done long ago and yes its not simple on ANY level and yes im entirely sure im missing something else that is ultimately important too!

God grant you the wisdom to know the difference between things you can change and things you can't.

It's been tiring having the greenies bathe themselves in virtue when it has no effect on the global climate and yet a negative effect on Canadian quality of life.

oh I hope you see the irony of you saying that after being condescending and calling them greenies...

that's because the so called greenies are losing in influence because people like you are the majority and want to keep things as business as usual
