Crickets from the right as premier Ford contemplates use of the notwithstanding clause to …checks notes… rip out bike lanes.

This stumping for the industry welfare state is something else… Marx and Friedman walk into a tequila bar … ipolitics.ca/2025/08/07/poi…

A CDN state-of-play climate policy ramble I had the privilege of speaking with CBC's the House about Canada’s progress to the 2030 GHG target. In preparation, I put a bunch of notes together. I'm sharing here… linkedin.com/posts/dave-saw…

Charter case for bike lanes bad, charter case against forest walk ban good.

Also grifter.

A conservative government forest policy.

No base to compare %. The CoBC realistic scenario is worst case; 2030 curtailment shock is covid deep. Our worst case techno-pessimistic, low EIA oil price has 2030 GDP growth down 1.96 to 1.82% - in the range of ECCC and CER. About $12.6B, or equal to the new value from TMX.

Big number, big. And a minimum, when one considers the long range impact of the smoke on human health, in say Ontario.

The +10% ELEC cost would still be cheaper than dirty, expensive, smelly, and hazardous tank of distillate in the basement. With heat waves, many islanders can flip on cooling. Better outcome than $460 of LFO sitting idle in the tank when it’s 32dC outside.

Supply constraints meet demand destruction…

This. Programs to drive industrial heat pumps, improve productivity, spur CDV innovation in globally saleable advanced manufacturing. Global industry needs to decarb and improve efficiency. CDN can deploy at home, innovate, trade, and decarb along the way.

Dave Sawyer Perhaps not so oddly, one of the places industrial heat pumps could greatly improve energy & carbon efficiency, increase saleable product and increase profits is in the oil and gas sector.

Why is the National Post going after Canadian farmers who supply biofuel? nationalpost.com/news/canada/wh…

I mean, National Post with canola under pressure from Chinese tariffs, why would we want Canadian farmers to benefit from $1.1 billion in Canadian canola-based biofuels sales (2022-23)? Axe the canola taxola has a nice ring to it... canolacouncil.org/about-canola/e…
