Canada built its nuclear industry around Candu reactors supplied by a made-in-Canada supply chain. Ontario is building, and other provinces are considering, SMRs that require foreign uranium enrichment and fabrication in an abrupt departure from decades of self-reliance.

One out of every 10 emergency physicians in Canada have left their specialty, while the vast majority of others are reducing their hours or taking time off to manage burnout.

Canada's indigenous nuclear industry, homegrown tech, use of heavy-water reactors producing plutonium and tritium, and abundant domestic supply of uranium all position this country as a prime candidate for developing a nuclear weapon. The government now faces a big decision over whether to enrich uranium for use in new small modular reactors, the one missing piece before it can produce a modern, two-stage thermonuclear device.

I really hope the following happens despite Carney and the Conservatives.

We should already start the phasing out process.

  1. Ban non-commercial vehicles sizes by a huge amount.
  2. Ban highly inefficient vehicles.
  3. Create a much wider ban on obnoxiously loud vehicles -- all of them, including sports cars, trucks, motorcycles, so people replace with vehicles that don't disturb the peace.
  4. Incentives folks to buy bikes and e-bikes.
  5. Carbon incentive was a good idea, but did get the good momentum it deserved.
  6. The climate is becoming much worse, drastic measures are needed to be taken. And its our responsibility to bring them. I have no sympathy for any of these gas guzzling folks.
