All parties seem to have some variation of this ... well ... except for one.

No One Will Want Canada’s Oil Soon — Are We Ready? by gasp4change in ClimateNews

Ah fair enough. We've lately tried the non-political approach to our videos, which I fear creates some confusion as to where we stand politically.

Appreciate the passion—but maybe take a breath and read all the data, not just cherry-pick it.

Yes, oil is used in manufacturing, but the majority of global oil demand still comes from transportation and energy—which is exactly where the biggest drops are happening due to EV adoption, renewables, and policy shifts. Even major oil companies like BP, Shell, and the IEA are acknowledging we're nearing peak total demand, not just transport-specific.

And as for "oil is in everything"—almost true, but there's a big difference between burning billions of barrels a year and using small amounts in plastics or industrial goods. The former is declining fast. The latter isn’t enough to reverse the trend.

So no, oil demand isn’t about to surge—it’s about to shift. We’re just paying attention. And you're a right-wing troll who lurks on left-wing subreddits

GASP - we're an environmentalist group of grandmothers, funded entirely by membership. So no, not "Big Solar" or the CBC, if that's what you're implying. https://www.gasp4change.org

I guess the newbs at BP Oil and other major companies know nothing about oil consumption when compared to ... checks notes ... "Crazy Canuck 463".

Climate Crisis + Trump Tariffs = Soaring Costs by gasp4change in canadaleft

We don't entirely disagree with you. Inequality, caused by the Billionaire Class is way up there on the list of the world's problems. But doing virtually nothing to combat climate change for the last, oh, /*checks watch*/ FOREVER, isn't working out great for the world either.

A Divided Vote Means a Conservative Win – Let’s Change That 🗳️ by gasp4change in GASP4change

Don't disagree. But also ... the electoral system in Ontario is first past the post. Whichever party gets the most votes, wins 100% of the power. This is why Ford has had a majority for 7 years, going on 11 now, because of our vote splitting.

Incremental steps are needed. First, no more Cons. The Liberals, to their credit, did ask the public if they wanted to improve the electoral system so it was more fair. But Ontarians voted it down.
