All over the world, voters should beware, that whenever politicians talk about immigrants, it is because they have no solutions to the problems that matter most.

Healthcare crisis in the UK? Talk about immigrants.

Children getting shot because of idiotic gun laws in the US? Talk about immigrants.

"Look over there! Someone is coming to eat your cake!", is the oldest trick in the book, and politicians use it for the sole purpose of moving attention away from their own political incompetence.

You can add "housing crisis in Canada" to that list.

"Carbon capture" too expensive to run:

"Edmonton-based Capital Power Corp. says it is no longer pursuing its proposed $2.4-billion and storage project at its natural gas-fired power plant.

The company says it has decided the project at the power plant west of Edmonton is technically viable but not economically feasible."

Carbon capture always gives me "free energy" vibes.

"Given the spiralling costs of deadly heatwaves, droughts and rising sea levels, the new target is expected to be far larger than the existing U.N. commitment of rich countries to spend $100 billion per year from 2020, a target they failed to meet on time.

A draft statement for a meeting of foreign ministers later this month showed the 27-nation country bloc will argue the oil and gas sector should also contribute."

Exxon has known about climate change for nearly 50 years. Them and other companies have spent that time spreading misinformation, resisting any climate legislation, and continuing to make the problem worse.

So yeah, I think they owe the public some compensation for that.
