Precisely !
And one might be forgiven for expecting that our media - the G&M included - would be all over this debacle with screaming black headlines !

Instead we are treated to propaganda articles extorting ever cheaper solar and wind energy - or Liberal vaporings about jobs.

News flash: the only ( high tech ) jobs created are in China making solar panels, or the likes of Siemens  designing and building wind generators. All worthy activities - but reality on the ground is that we ( as is usual ) get to dig the holes for foundation concrete and then pay subsidies to apparently lower CO2 .... Well - Canada's contribution to global CO2 is entirely minuscule, irrelevant. Never mind that this particular green technology makes an insignificant contribution to our electrical (base load) capacity. All this after spenging $$ billions and counting.
