There is a quick simple solution to global warming and climate change. It is called Muon Catalysed Fusion. As worked on Star Scientific. NO CO2. NO Greenhouse Gases. NO Carbon Tax. NO Toxic Waste. The source is dueterium from the World's Oceans - virtually limitless. It is cheap to produce. WE NEED IT NOW.

Subsidizing the fossil fuel sector is an awfully misguided way to create jobs. Dollar for dollar, investing in renewables creates far more jobs. Canada is at significant risk of losing out on the renewables sector as a competitive market.
I suggest we invest in renewables AND education simultaneously by lowering barriers (such as student debt) to those who wish to study an innovative industry. Conventional tools like debt ensure graduates stay out of innovative fields.
Actually, soul piper, you are bitching and complaining right here in the comment section. When not spend a little bit of your time trying to deal with real problems? You might enjoy it.
Reality sucks. I'm a student. But I don't bitch and complain and expect others to pay for my education. We are not living in Denmark as much as many of these liberal hipsters seem to think we are.
If students goof off in university, I don't want to give them my taxpayer dollars. Let them pay those loans back on their own.
However, I would gladly give money to the hard-working students, who work hard and share unconditional volunteering as I see some of the real student leaders contribute.
Giving $1.4 dollar/year to an industry that made $8 billion in profits, but then cuts $1.7 billion dollars to air quality and climate research.
As a taxpayer, I don't want to underwrite oil company profits instead of protecting our air and climate.
Some day, there is going to be a day of reckoning for all the bystanders who remained silent while the climate and ecosystems were collapsing. What are you going to say to your grandchildren?
Not taxing the hell out of a business is not giving them money . There seems to be a movement by some left wing students who don't want to pay their school loans to demonize bif business . Nobody made you take those loans so quit your crying and pay them .
The Big oil producers in Canada are US Based. As such the US Gov't taxes them at a rate of about 35%- less the tax they pay in the 'Foreign Countries' in which they operate (CANADA).. This means when Harper once more cuts their Tax rate by 2% to say 18%, there is no job creation as that money gets sucked up into the US treasury as a 2% windfall. The US then benefits from our resource & Canada's lifeblood( her youth0 are left struggling when they need not in a Country as rich as ours.
@Gillhoolee The tax cut actually does employ more Canadians. I'm not sure where you came up with 18%, but either way, I agree it would be nice if Canadian companies had more control over Canadian Resources. That said though, if the cost is too high, our market will go elsewhere. Like it or not, we use things like plastics and need to heat our houses, so if we are not selling to a market, someone else is.
The money that the government gives out gets spent by whomever receives it, no matter where it starts.
The biggest issue I have is that the oil companies make money hand over fist, yet students have to pay thousands to get started in the world.... And money leaving the country for a foreign oil company's bank account. You make peanuts compared to the top dog where you work. So saying it should start in your hands, because you work for a billion dollar oil company.
maybe more education on your part might allow for a more accurate understanding of the importance of school.
I'm in my mid-30s and have gone back to school for renewable energy, which is a trade based program geared towards sustainable buildings.
I've spent the last 20 yrs working, and understand hard work (forest fire fighter, amongst other jobs...) Electricians, plumbers, brick and stone masons... all necessary for the buildings you live and work in and all educated at college.
@canuxforryan I don't understand if you are commenting to me. Frankly I am a strong supporter of trades, as I am in a couple of them right now, while being a part of the Oil Industry. Frankly I do not know what you are saying.
Oil companies create jobs, and all those workers spend big money in stores (trust me I am one of them). Because I'm employed, with the money I spend, I also employ others. Get how it works?
Also, the government, nor any business wants to pay off debts accumulated by self absorbed children that have no future. I'd really like to know how many of those student debts are toward the bogus classes that don't lead to any employment, or change.
I do agree its not a great industry, but I'd rather take the side of scientists and students making an actual difference in technology then 'talking about it' or 'complaining'. There is too many activists and too few inventors and science people.
@walperstyle What a shallow view of the importance of education in society. You suggest that the only value of education is to be able to make a lot of money at your job and "spend big money in stores", which will then trickle down to the employees that fetch your new flat screen built in China, or cook your hamburger. What a "great" society we would have if that is, in fact, "reality".
@MrBubbleNutz Education in any society is to help make a better tomorrow. My point was that there is too many bogus classes that don't help make a better tomorrow. If you cannot have a plan to pay off your school after you get out, then why did you take the classes in the first place? I'll always take sides with Inventors and Scientists then keyboard activists. Its one thing to learn something, but great, now what do you do with it? self enlightenment is selfish.
How are those gov't backed renewable companies doing?
