A pair of researchers at the Fraser Institute wrote a ridiculous column about federal climate policy (in other words, the sun rose in the east) and actually managed to get it published in the Globe and Mail. Let's take it apart.

I've been saying this for years. Democrats have wasted billions of dollars renting airtime for ads that everyone hates. Instead, buy the stations. Fund the podcasts. Own the newspapers.

"In the current media ecosystem, Republicans own and Democrats rent. Democrats pay for seasonal access to the networks, stations, platforms, and newspapers owned by Republicans or right-wing entities, to advertise and communicate with voters."

Optimal climate policy shifted dramatically with technological advances in renewables and batteries. Unfortunately a lot of climate advocates didnāt pay attention to this, so weāre still stuck with advocacy thatās either outright ecofascist or treats electrification as an weak second place.

From Don Braid's latest column, in which he essentially admits he has no idea what he's talking about. Sorry, Don: $170 per tonne was "designed to kill an industry" but $130 per tonne is going to revive said industry and lead to decades of economic prosperity?

Anyway... I just think maybe we might collectively be spending a little too much time talking about a hypothetical pipeline that no company is proposing to build, along a route that no one has identified, that's almost certainly never, ever going to get built.
