Canada is like someone who's trying to stop smoking, hits a rough patch, and starts smoking even more because they don't know any other way to deal with stress. Doubling down on fossil fuels isn't the only way to deal with this economic pressure.

Exactly so. The entire world is turning to renewables right now and the oil pressure only makes it more urgent and PROFITABLE. Going into this, new solar and wind were already cheaper than fossil fuels for power generation. Yet we're still beholden to the oil companies who own our government.
