I appreciate that.
Eco-warriors and elitist left wingers don’t like hearing counter points any more than those “change my mind…” type of Conservative grifters.
Bro, they want coal cuz they got over a billion people who need electricity. India’s gdp per capita in 2025 was $2,702 USian dollars, with massive income disparity.
Sell em coal, not a course on Western values and environmental concerns of privileged westerners.
I do. It just started one morning organically. It wasn’t always like that…
They can survive and thrive without asbestos in every household in India.
They can’t thrive without electricity in every household in India.
They want coal. Not lecturers on ethics or environmentalism from us. There’s a reason so many developing countries borderline hate us for our concern-trolling, moral grandstanding and virtue signaling. Not us as individuals but our society.
India: hey, I need coal to generate electricity.
PotatoMuncher: Hey. Lemme teach all about potato-batteries. We got all the potatoes you need.
India: I got potatoes. I need coal for my power plants as well as foundries.
PotatoMuncher: We’ve got world’s best aluminum and steel. Produced with renewable energy.
India: I don’t want to rely on you. I got power plants and furnaces. I want to produce my own. Sell coal.
PotatoMuncher: I seek to minimize emissions. I know what’s best for everyone else. No coal for you.
India: Were you dropped on your head? Or just an ignoramus elitist with a colonial worldview?
PotatoMuncher: I got all organic, gmo free, pesticides free, fair market, 100% Canadian potatoes.
Boil em. Mash em. Stick em in a stew...
India: Stick em where the poutine don’t shine.
Yeah.
They need coal. We got coal. They either buy slavery-free Canadian coal or they look elsewhere. Refusing to sell coal changes nothing.
India doesn’t need our elitist, entitled, supremacist lectures. They need coal.
It’s mostly sarcasm.
As shitty and harmful our extraction methods are, they’re still better than some of the other countries. Which isn’t to say “I love clean coal” or some such nonsense.
All our fancy gadgets are using natural resources from “artisan mines” and warlords using slavery to make a dollar and we’re still using them. Some of us line up for hours to get the latest Apple Pod 9000+ every year 📱
No argument there from me.
I’m not saying we should keep them dependent and let our shitty multinational corporations continue making bank selling them coal forever. I’m all for nationalizing it and using the profits to transition to a better solution.
I’m just saying that they won’t stop using the only means of electricity generation they’ve already invested into just because we tell them it’s bad for the environment. Especially since we’re still burning coal for electricity in Saskatchewan.
I thought we had stopped but someone corrected my stupid assumption.
Do they use 100% slavery-free and cruelty-free, all natural Alberta coal?
That poor serf in China or that outcast “untouchable” in India would have a much more difficult life without their shitty government using dirtyass polluting coal to generate electricity. Just 2 countries are 35% of the world’s population.
Wealthy countries agreed that we’ll reduce out footprint first because we are the ones who contributed in destroying the environment more than the global majority. We didn’t change anything significant by the looks of it. That’s on our government and our consumerism.
Those guys over there still need their coal.
Not every country in the world can afford to ditch coal just because you demand that they stop using it this very moment.
We got that sweet sweet cruelty-free, slavery-free, all organic, beautiful Canadian coal. Nationalize it and sell it to the people in need.
voted for Donald Trump in 2024 after believing his promises to lower living costs
No she didn’t.
immigrated from El Salvador as a child,
Implying she had any say in the matter as a child. Her parent(s) made the decision and dragged her along regardless of her feelings on the matter.
Celia Salmerón, 58, accused the Trump administration of bringing hardship
She willingly voted for a guy who said he’ll be deporting her Mexican ass back to Mexico. As well as how Mexicao isn’t sending their best. She thought that the Orange Pedo knows El Salvador isn’t Mexico and she’s special since she’s not Mexican and Trump isn’t talking about her and her totally-not-Mexican family.
only the devil could govern with such cruelty.
He told everyone in the world about his intent to unleash cruelty and she thought it won’t affect her because she’s not Mexican or “black” or Haitian. She’s special and “an American”. Forgetting where her El Salvadorian ass came from.
Many of Salmerón’s clients are undocumented immigrants, including some with pending asylum claims, making her neighbourhood particularly vulnerable to the administration’s aggressive immigration enforcement.
He told everyone he’ll be cruel and you chose to vote for him and his cruelty because you’re too stupid and self centred to realize you’ll be affected and targeted as well.
Tough titties, Celia Salmerón from Not-Mexico.
Trump’s economic promises and immigration policies are alienating voters who helped deliver his return to the White House.
Lol. At least 30% are still singing “aye vil woat for Donol Tromp” and joining ICE to dish out cruelty.
Bon Voyage, Latinos for Trump.
You actually get to take time off and go on trips?!
Lol they’re still crying about the National Energy Program proposal in Alberta.
Alberta loves 1 Pierre unconditionally and hates another Pierre wholeheartedly. Most Albertans get the 2 mixed up. The detestable Pierre is the favourite and the Pierre that cared about the country is the villain.
Okay, lets hunt them here. As well as catch them, take em to an abattoir and export the meat as well as sell it within Canada.
What about farmed horses? Can we get the ban lifted on exporting those?
Police commissioner is a cushy job. I’m certain he can find 1 decent person to replace her with.
Fish rots from the head. He’s not serious about police reforms and community policing if he’s not willing replace her.
What a glorious day for Canada, and therefore of course, the world.
But Mamdani just won’t fucking replace her.
Why not?
No we’re not.
Resource extraction is necessary for human survival and progress. Our country does it more responsibly than lots of other places.
We stopped coal fired electricity generation but various other countries can’t afford to just yet. They will continue importing coal. They deserve the best coal. 100%, slavery-free, cruelty-free, all-organic Alberta coal.
I hope they nationalize the industry instead of letting private corporations making all the profits from Canadian coal.
You didn’t even try to understand what I said.
They can thrive without asbestos. They can’t thrive without electricity.
Your elitist opinion doesn’t even factor into their life or mine.
