Yeah I always found it funny that the three biggest provinces were all in favour of a Carbon Tax, but they all get most of their power from Nuclear or Hydro. Then the provinces that get affected the most by it are in areas of Canada with no suitable sites for Hydro, so they are forced to use Natural Gas.
They act like it's our fault for using fossil fuels - but we do so because we have no easy source of power.
Alberta has hydroelectric too. Pretty much every good spot has a dam across it already. They just don’t produce a lot of power since the rivers aren’t that big here. They all merge further east in Manitoba where there is also hydro electric generating at a larger scale.
“Use renewables you bigots” is what they say, and when we do, we’re told “you’re not doing enough”. We’re maxed out you fucks.
