    Canadian cities are centered around cars.

    …currently.

    Winters are harsh, summers are plenty hot.

    Insulation is neat.

    Most power is supplied via 80% non fossil fuels and trending in the right direction.

    Woo!

    Obviously theres room for improvement but Canada is just not positioned to have low per capita emissions, it will always be lagging on this point.

    Especially if we tried nothing else and got nowhere.

    Look; I agree we’re not gonna get there with a red government; we certainly aren’t getting there under a blue one with their love of selling dinosaur juice and dinosaur farts.

    But we can’t get a happy shiny gov when everyone’s fear-voting to avoid the racist ponzi-schene alternative; or fear-voting to avoid losing grip on the dream of just one more tax break for the rich-bitches to start that golden trickle-down.

    So my thing is, get a new voting setup. I like the simplest, because the rest are too hard for people to care about, but yeah. And while we’re already 10 years out and even more fucked than now, at least the rich bastards will be dead and we can kumbaya around the burning husk of civilisation (because everything’s burning) knowing we’re maybe on a better path.

    When our descendants revert back to conservatism and invade the surface world, at least we’ll have left them the seeds of a better world to grow up here while they’re down there hiding from the radiation.
