"We have a great portrait of FDR that I found in the vaults that was missing for years. I found it and I put it up. He's a Democrat, to the best of my knowledge... And when the mayor saw that portrait, he said, Sir, do you mind if I have a picture taken by that portrait?' It's an amazing portrait."

Iโm a broken record on this, but Peter Drahos predicted this outcome in his 2021 book Survival Governance: The US (Canada even moreso) are simply too embedded in a carbon economy to resist the all-encompassing political and economic pressures. And so we get short-sighted policies and politicians.
