Canada is a major oil exporter, and unlike every just about every other oil exporters they also have massive domestic taxes on gasoline/diesel?
And the oil wealth just goes to fuelling mass immigration and the deficit instead of investing in a sovereign wealth fund?
Typical Canadians.

The Inconvenient Truth About Elon Musk’s New Love Affair With Trump | Once the champion of bold and innovative climate solutions, the Tesla CEO has lurched further away from his green ideals toward something else entirelyBut remember, what really made him Elon Musk—the megatitan who commands the ears of politicians and executives, became a global name with an inescapable suite of companies, and stood distinct from other wealthy founders—was his eagerness to take on a seemingly impossible mission: to weaponize American industry in the fight to mitigate climate change.
It was his hijacking of Tesla Motors in the mid-2000s, for which he raised money, forced out existing employees, designed and kickstarted production of the pioneering electric Roadster model, and secured a hefty government loan, that kept the company going as the financial crisis shellacked the automotive sector. He further invested in the then-burgeoning domestic markets for solar panels and energy-dense batteries, and spoke out about why addressing climate change was a motivator for his business. He even inspired other environmentally conscious celebrities and encouraged them to boost his profile, putting Tesla models in movies and all. Yes, the space rockets, intergalactic dreams, and NASA contracts played no small part. But it was part and parcel of a futuristic goal that also included lots of green tech, including sleek gas-free cars.
…
Even beyond business considerations, however, Musk has gone full-on Republican in the Biden years. He took over Twitter, restored Trump’s account, and turned the platform into a cesspool of hateful content and right-wing propaganda—including, but hardly limited to, climate change denial and disinformation, which he now tends to endorse.
…
Musk may wallow in the fame and power his climate advocacy brought him, but he no longer cares about that pet issue, or the fact that it’s why he’s in his position to begin with.

I suspect I haven't been brainwashed because the things I actually "believe" (that we should be hyper-rationally skeptical to the point of seeming irrationality, that we should believe ~nothing) are completely useless to people in power. Like, look at how I phrased that: "~nothing". I'm so committed to disbelief that I'm forced to leave open the possibility that there are some things we should believe. This basically makes me useless to anyone who is hoping to achieve any sort of goal.
Unless their goal was to make you useless.

Because if that's the kind of half-assed reasoning behind why you post this stuff, then my half-assed schizo rambling is 100% reciprocal. It's just a way to pass the time.
The part I find disrespectful is when you claim I'm saying things I've never said or misrepresent my character.
I'm not trying to save the world by posting news articles, I'm lighting firecrackers and throwing them into a dark smelly pit to see how the creatures that dwell down there react.
I'll try not to take it personally, you just remind me of someone I knew that died.

although i guess in a warped way his antisemitism has an eschatological bent. credit where it's due though: it's impressively recherché for a replacement religion.
Posting the news is activism.

It's not what happens to you, but how you react to it, that matters.
