Son: why does Canada import oil when we have so much?
Me: Because producing oil is bad for the environment.
Son: but isn't it worse to ship it from so far away?
Me: Yeah
Son: so why do we do that?
Me: its called virtue signalling son

The group you keep hearing about in the media, Coastal First Nations, isn't a band.
They hold neither rights nor title.
They're a not-for-profit based in downtown Vancouver started with money from American foundations opposed to resource development.

The Liberals want to ship LNG to Germany from Canada’s Pacific coast through a longer, more expensive route.
Instead of shipping Canadian energy directly from Eastern Canada across the Atlantic, the fastest, most affordable, and most direct path to Europe, the Liberals want Canadian LNG to travel all the way through the Panama Canal or even around the southern tip of South America. Why? Because the Liberals killed all three East Coast LNG projects that could've delivered Canadian energy to European allies.
How does that make any sense?
Ok so I did some digging on heat pumps and what the costs would be to install, and run in northern Canada where winters see many -20 days. Here's the breakdown:
1600 sq ft. house with a full basement.
First off you would need a dual fuel system, i.e. forced gas furnace plus heat pump.
Costs for installation and pump:
Usually needs a 4–5 ton variable-capacity cold-climate unit.
Lower end (~$14k–$18k): Good existing ducts, no major electrical panel upgrade, straightforward install.
Higher end ($20k–$25k+): Duct modifications needed, electrical service upgrade (common in older homes), or more complex basement/main-floor zoning.
Typical range: $14,000 – $25,000 CAD (all-in, including labour, permits, and minor duct/electrical work).
Cost to run:
Effective all-in rate (with delivery, transmission, etc.): Usually 14–17 ¢/kWh during high winter usage.
Running: $350–$650/month in peak winter months on electricity. Hybrid i.e. gas furnace plus heat pump keeps annual costs lowest.
Payback vs. keeping/replacing just a gas furnace is usually 10–15+ years unless gas prices rise sharply or you get strong incentives.
So lets look at this realistically:
Cost for install 20K+
$400-650 a month in winter to run it + gas costs.
Payback 10-15 years.
These are real world costs/numbers not some bullshit propaganda the government or online idiots are spewing.
Is it worth it in cold climate Canada or better to just keep and run your natural gas furnace ?
You be the judge.
How long before headlines declaring that while burning coal, oil and gas for data/surveillance centres does no harm - cars, central heating and air conditioning systems are catastrophic for the planet?

Gas prices are nearly 20% higher in Canada than in the United States, but they don't have to be.
Mark Carney's Liberals can remove their taxes on gas, and save drivers 25 cents/L at the pumps immediately.

Mark Carney is seizing a costly Liberal majority that voters denied him, and doing so through backroom deals.
In January, MP Gladu said that floor crossers should face voters in a byelection to give voters the final say. I could not agree more.
She should do so. The people in her community voted for our Conservative vision of a Canada that is affordable, safe, and strong at home, not for the costly Liberal government she has now joined.
She should honour her word and let voters decide.
Mr. Prime Minister—you are getting up to $9 billion in windfall revenues from high oil prices. That money does not belong to you.
Give it back.
Stop taxing gas. Save families $1200 at the pumps this year.
The Liberal finance minister claims he recused himself in September 2025 of the $90 billion Alto project, for which his wife is the vice president.
Yet here he is promoting the project in Senate testimony 6 months later. And here he is voting for it in the House of Commons. There it is in the budget he presented. And there is no recusal record on the Ethics Commissioner’s website.
Nothing adds up.
$90 billion is at stake.
Tell the truth, Minister.
