Well thats great to hear about housing, thank you. I've believed Eby was the only true progressive in Canada for a long time.

As far as lopping off one of our main exports, thats pretty reckless obviously. Maybe prove the feasibility of green industries first, before we bankrupt ourselves attempting it. All that will happen if living standards fall is you'll get a MAGA style populist government to replace them, as oil jobs are one of the highest efficiency per worker jobs in the country.

There's no talk on halting oil&gas exports. The talk is about redirecting the public money for expansion of these exports (e.g. 40B for new pipelibe) into non-boom-and-bust industries. Again I'm sure you'll catch more of this in the months to come. I find it's better to listen to what he says, not what someone said he said. Which I guess includes myself. 😄
