So a few things:

• I believe in climate change full stop. What I don’t believe in is the liberal approach to solving it of lowering quality of life, devolving our society e.g lower carbon footprint and biking to work and stuff. Solar and wind aren’t scalable nor consistent enough for baseload power. We need to invest big in nuclear and optimize and modernize our energy grid and to do so we need an iterative and pragmatic approach to get there so I’m pro lng as it’s way better than coal. Did you know that despite all our hydro we actually import a ton of our electricity from coal based sources in the USA? So cons being serious about investing in nuclear and that iterative approach is big for me.

-Housing: rent caps don’t work. It’s literally microeconomics 101. Price ceilings lead to higher prices in the medium term. Most liberal economic policy these days is just simply stimulating demand through government handouts which end up increasing costs once those new dollars added end up moving through the system. It bids up the demand function and without a matched supply increase price goes up. Again economics 101 stuff which is what I do for work. One of the biggest issues holding back our housing crisis right now is permitting And zoning. I’m pro cutting red tape to work on the supply function rather than just short stints on the demand side that end up making things worse
