But it gets more complicated! You could also argue world overall positive.
World not having Canadian oil means world buys Quatar oil. - More money for Hamas. Saudi Oil - bad for human rights. Russian Oil - Ukraine war/eastern Europe war....
We need money to fund the radically insane budgets currently being pumped out by government or at least cover the 46 billion/year in interest alone from Trudeau deficits.
No more oil/drilling is also a simplistic radical solution.
NIMBY when Quebec blocked pipelines - they still get their federal transfers, but grow separatism in the west, anger. History is not good when people are economically angry.
Please don't take that as a "drill baby drill" statement. Only to say, the world is incredibly complex and everything has impact, and nobody REALLY knows how it will go. Just meant to show more sides to a coin and overall complexity.
I AM pretty sure that my next bike will be at least 0.5 degree slacker and a couple of pounds lighter. But who knows what that will do to my riding.
