As Trump wages economic war to break Canada, let’s go for Canadian energy security and independence. Strategic petroleum reserves must be part of it. The Iran war shows how risky reliance on oil is. As the world shifts off fossil fuels, the challenge is to build Canadian energy self-reliance around affordable domestic renewables.
Your cherry picked article doesn’t contradict a single thing I said. And, of course, Canada should and will buy EVs and renewable tech from China because clearly even people running Canada aren’t complete imbeciles. Enjoy doing a lot of seething and coping in your future. Life is gonna get real hard for people like you going forward.
Also, might want to learn what a dictatorship is before throwing big words like that around kiddo. Pretty sure people actually living in China understand their system better than some angry racist from Canada.
So letting others control your energy is bad unless it’s controlled by China? That’s apparently bad faith posts and comments, @yogthos@lemmygrad.ml
I guess you have reading comprehension problems, what I actually said was:
Seems like @Sepia@mander.xyz is just here to troll and make bad faith posts
Reading comprehension is an issue, just read my comment above. Here again:
As one report, It’s Time to Treat China’s Connected Energy Systems As a National Security Risk, says,
There is ample evidence that China poses a threat to other states’ security, as well as many examples that China uses leverage for economic and political coercion.
What part of bootstrapping are you struggling with here? We can use Chinese tech that exists today, that we failed to develop domestically, and then build our own technology going forward. I will reiterate again, that there is zero evidence for China posing any threat. This is just FUD that you’re spreading here. Every country uses economic leverage, this isn’t exclusive to China. Unless you’re proposing that Canada becomes a hermit kingdom, then it will have to deal with other countries protecting their own interests. Try to put a bit more work into your trolling to make it a bit less obvious.
Also, hilarious you’d link to a report from RAND of all places to base your fear mongering on. A report from a country that’s literally threatening to annex Canada and sees China as its main rival couldn’t possibly have any biases in it. The US would have absolutely no interest in keeping Canada dependent on fossil fuels and prevent it from actually implementing clean energy solutions. And luckily for them they have plenty of useful idiots in Canada to carry water.
Oh, no, there is ample evidence for China being a severe security threat. It’s published in the mainstream Western sources that you read, according to you, “of course”. Just read it. China isn’t a reliable partner, but wumaos have different view.
