More baloney than not. Many smaller places like Taiwan and Finland have healthy competitive manufacturing industries.

I'm not sure if this has been posted but 750 miles on a 10 minute charge is a game changer for a country like Canada. Imagine where technology will take this kind of thing in 20 years.

Of course climate is always changing. The Milankovitch cycles guarantee that. It has been hotter. It has been colder. But that doesn't mean that what we are in now is natural. The vast, vast percentage of scientists involved with anything to do with our climate agree that our reliance on carbon fuels is affecting our climate adversely. And it's the speed that it is happening and the fact that it is a global phenomenon that will be the ass kicker. When there has been rapid climate change in the past the effect on local societies has been devastating.
As far as changing shorelines don't forget alot of that is from erosion. But if you are talking changes over thousands of years it's different .It allows time for societies to adapt. The isostatic rebound you see in Manitoba for instance will eventually move Lake Winnipeg down to the city of Winnipeg . But the time line is about 10,000 years. What we are doing now world wide would be the equivalent of waiting till the Lake is flowing over the perimeter to react.
I'm not a huge fan of the carbon tax at all but thats because I'm not sure we are getting the best bang for our efforts . But I suppose it's a start. I'd prefer to start with removing the up to 15 billion dollar subsidies Canada is giving to the oil industry. Pour that 15 billion directly into green initiatives. I'd rather have seen the rail lines that are vastly more efficient have remained in place. I'd rather see an better effort to get cars off the roads in our cities. I'd rather see that money go into educating people on their personal responsibility for climate change.

I don't think anyone can actually tell how bad this is going to be.
We are really just getting started.

We are ruled by a handful of corporations and this gov't has done nothing to help. They could have blocked mergers and introduced new measures to protect consumers. They have chosen the opposite. Even this is siding with a couple of mega-corps over other mega-corps.

Poverty, broken families and communities, lack of education, poor housing, poor diet.
