Ban new nuclear development and direct federal investment exclusively to proven, cost-effective renewable energy solutions

Banning the most green solution while pushing wind and solar, which require expensive investments into backup power like coal to deal with brownouts, is a foolish idea. That makes me rank you a 0.

Why should the poor fund the rich to replace their 3 year old Lexus with an EV, surely funding mass transit makes far more sense?

Why do we even want to push car centric urban sprawl in the first place during a massive housing shortage where everything should be being rezoned for density, or the fact we are borrowing public money that we then pay perpetual interest on to gift to for-profit corporations. This whole thing is messed up, and its no wonder Canada has so many problems when our politicians are this corrupt.

Shrinkflation you say?
