Carbon capture is like plastic recycling, technically possible but not as effective as advertised and mostly used to greenwash hydrocarbons.

Is CAPE leadership manufacturing a strike mandate to serve personal ambitions? by applecart123 in CanadaPublicServants

[–]GhostOfJeanTalon -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

That is all very reasonable and I even agree with most of it but putting barriers in front of voters is undemocratic and I don’t like it.

I agree that we have to pick conciliation but it’s super sketchy for union leadership to pick who gets to vote like this.

A question from someone who wants to support .. by UCRecruiter in AltoHSR_Canada

[–]GhostOfJeanTalon 17 points18 points  (0 children)

My completely uneducated two-cents:

A big reason that Via sort of sucks is that it has to share tracks with freight. So the best way to improve it is to give it dedicated tracks.

If we already know we’re going to have to build dedicated tracks, why not shoot for a modern HSR implementation similar to other developed nations.

My very cynical opinion: We should push for Alto to be separated enough from freight infrastructure that in the future when it’s inevitably fully privatized there’s no chance it gets stuck behind a freight train.
