India: hey, I need coal to generate electricity.

PotatoMuncher: Hey. Lemme teach all about potato-batteries. We got all the potatoes you need.

India: I got potatoes. I need coal for my power plants as well as foundries.

PotatoMuncher: We've got world's best aluminum and steel. Produced with renewable energy.

India: I don't want to rely on you. I got power plants and furnaces. I want to produce my own. Sell coal.

PotatoMuncher: I seek to minimize emissions. I know what's best for everyone else. No coal for you.

India: Were you dropped on your head? Or just an ignoramus elitist with a colonial worldview?

PotatoMuncher: I got all organic, gmo free, pesticides free, fair market, 100% Canadian potatoes.

                           Boil em. Mash em. Stick em in a stew...

India: Stick em where the poutine don't shine.
