@kerriclaireneil@DesSullivan3@bmadorevocm Tims is a service industry. The money used to buy those services needs to be generated from somewhere else. Cut those other sources and Tim's will go away (or shrink) correspondingly.
@DesSullivan3 I'm having trouble accepting the argument that NL needs to bear a significant impact to our economy when we know that if it isn't our oil being burned, it will be someone else's. Combating climate change means reducing demand. That's what should end the NL industry down the road.
@JacquiKJanes @Foxtrap_Burrows @jennwicks Its a normal struggle for me. Some jobs are just too small to attract a viable, above the table tradesperson. I've learned to learn from those around me. Team up with friends and YouTube. Hint- make your mistakes on someone else's place first π
@drlorileeoates Isn't the goal to reduce demand for oil? E.g. carbon tax as one lever. Then supply the remaining demand with lower emission sources as we continue to reduce the demand?
@sclift1980@edhollett@AnthonyGermain I have a loved one that has been denied access to a specialist because of all of this and is suffering because of it. I am sure there are many others. I get that there are risks but balance is needed. Geesh, I hate it but I agree with Ed on this one.
@DamnAnimals @heidi_am I dont know if they are corrupt or not but weird things come out of that section of government. I do know that there are SOME good people working there.
@rwhelanpsp @CityofStJohns Agree. We should easily be able to keep a social distance on site. It's set up that way anyway and there is a whole lot of spring yard work about to be done...
@drlorileeoates @RussAlanWill Except for a few, most professionals in NL gov know they are on a sinking ship. There are no legitimate career development opportunities. Appointments are peppered throughout the service. All while their purchasing powers shrink. Yeah, it can be demoralizing.
@NickMercer2 @drlorileeoates I get your point but it's also worth noting that most of NL electricity (approximately 80%) comes from renewable hydro power. There's an argument in total cost accounting approaches that the user of that offshore oil accounts for it. That's not NL.
