I'm more motivated to finish PM Carney's book, "Value(s): Building a better world for all", and came across this section:

❝An advantage of the subjective approach to value is that it is neutral. Everything that is priced can be compared by means of a common, widely available standard, the market price. But from the perspective of welfare, it creates several issues.

First, whereas economic infrastructure and economic capital are usually priced, social infrastructure, social capital and natural capital generally are not. This can lead to underinvestment in what matters for wellbeing. In standard GDP accounting, government contributes no value added beyond public sector salaries. Measurement of (unpriced) outputs would better reflect both living standards and economic per-formance. What captures performance during the crisis? A healthcare worker's salary or their heroic efforts at saving lives?❞

So we know he at least understands the problem. #CanPoli #CdnPoli

Carbon capture is NOT a climate mitigation technique. It's a method of hiding emissions in such a way as to leave behind ticking time bombs for future generations that will then have to be maintained and monitored forever.

Unless their goal is basically to let it all leak out anyway, of course.

Blame Canada - Fentanyl is the excuse for annexation.

#Canada is Trump’s Poland or Ukraine.

“ And again, it is important not to confuse politeness with weakness.

I once visited a Canadian resort town where everything aboveground was perky commerce and skiing fun.

And then underground was a place where you went to throw axes. “ #cdnpoli #elbowsup

Who loves freedom! Lets all join together then so we can collectively protect and enjoy freedom. Mexico should be invited along with some other countries like Japan and South Korea that enshrine democratic values (India will have to make big changes first).

EU + Commonwealth + Mexico + Japan + South Korea = New World Order
