      Hell yes. Excite the base! I dont understand the people who want all our parties to be centrist nothing entities. Different viewpoints should be represented! Keep moving left while the LPC moves right and keep the Overton window in check.

      But why tho? Oil brought in a great deal of benefits to Canada and its revenues may very well be recycled into more advanced manufacturing. Don’t fight it, leverage it.

      What will he replace the oil industry with? Ideally something even better, for both the economy and climate. That’s what he should be leading with. Otherwise all this does is excite the base while turning off moderates so you never make any progress electorally, which mirrors exactly what Poilievre is doing, ironically enough.

      The NDP leader I’ve been waiting for since 2015. I couldn’t be prouder to have had a part in getting him here on a volunteer basis.

      His positions are common sense and desperately needed in this country. A breath of fresh air.

      I listened to this guy’s interview on Front Burner and read a handful of things and I definitely won’t be voting for him, but he’s welcome to bring some new debates and ideas into the picture. I don’t think he stands a snowballs chance in hell of being PM.

      I’m not a fan of blanket statements. Moving away from oil long term makes sense, but we need to be practical about it. Shifting, yes. Improving how we produce it, yes. But an abrupt slowdown or shutdown doesn’t really line up with reality.
      If our oil is produced more ethically, with stronger regulations and lower emissions, and we can actually get it to market efficiently, why wouldn’t we lean into that? Global demand isn’t disappearing overnight.
      To me, the better approach is two tracks at once. Keep improving and supplying what the world still needs, while pushing consumers and businesses to shift over time. Economics matters here. If demand is still there, someone will supply it. It may as well be done to a higher standard.
      At the same time, we should be investing in where things are going next. Nuclear is one of those options. It gives stable, low-emission power and helps support that transition.
      We need a transition that actually works, not one that just sounds good.
