“If our only idea to grow the Canadian economy is increasing hydrocarbon production we're all in trouble. Doing so will increase carbon emissions at precisely the time when Canada, and the world, needs to be reducing them.”

Yet you believe that eastern Canada getting subsidized to build machines (read planes, trains & automobiles) that burn said hydrocarbons is perfectly fine?

Why is western Canadian production of oil bad, and eastern Canada building machines that burn that oil (and create the majority of the emissions) good?

Please explain your flawed logic to us in a way that makes sense and is justified?
