Peak oil for electricity generation was last year. Peak oil for transportation is soon, and the Iran war has hastened the timetable since ending dependency on oil is now strategically imperative for every country in the world.

You keep banging on about the fact that some gas is still used, trying to cling to some "hypocrisy" narrative. The fact is Alberta is trying to cling on to a dying industry and there is no hypocrisy to say that they need to transition from a dying industry. People still own horse and buggies today, that's not evidence that it's not obsolete technology.

We are in a national housing crisis, and we aren’t building homes/neighbourhoods/cities ready for the fossil fuel free future.

What are you talking about? We're spending billions on transit. We're building high speed rail. We're expanding electricity generation. There are tax incentives for converting to a heat pump. See here: https://natural-resources.canada.ca/energy-efficiency/home-energy-efficiency/canada-greener-homes-initiative/canada-greener-homes-initiative

Everyone in my family has converted to heat pumps. Considering the rebates the government provides, it doesn't take too long to pay off an investment in a heat pump.

Though maybe Ontario sucks at this because of Doug Ford sucks.

Doug Ford sucks because Ontario sucks.

And Ontario sucks because Doug Ford sucks. It's a vicious cycle that needs to be broken somewhere.

Doug Ford did not take over Queens park in a coup d'etat, he was elected in, twice. Doug is not the disease, he's a symptom.

Good for you. Provincially no one is ready for the post fossil fuel world.

I can see you're very attached to this false narrative and no amount of facts will make you let go of it.

That's barely an opinion let alone an argument. Saying "na anh!" isn't the discussion you think it is.

and no amount of facts will make you let go of it.
