Love David Frum commentary...from Arizona, USA.

This Bill is profoundly unserious. Comparing fossil fuel use to tobacco use is vile. The former has made the world wealthier and healthier my magnitudes. And Canada is at the heart of ongoing economic prosperity for us and the world. This Bill should be treated with scorn given its target is lower income Canadians who rely on low cost energy to survive.

Whaling also was a major contributor to prosperity and economic activity. Should we have mindlessly ignored its impact and continued whaling until whales went extinct like the dodo? And for all your fake populism, you ignore the fact that lower-income people are disproportionately hurt by climate change, conventional pollution, wars with oil regimes and their terror proxies, and oil price shock driven economic downturns.

Thank you for this video. RS. Canada

...."the farming sector is the major producer of obesity". Outstanding....standing O!

It's a phoney argument, as fake as the original mischaracterisation of the proposed oil legislation. Public education around nutrition might very well be a sensible approach to obesity -- and would not be any attack on farmers.

Frum talks & enjoys listening to himself talking.

Costco buffalo run is 1.09 per liter. it is 20 minutes away. my closest fuel station is 1.40 per liter. I'm going to Costco

Though it is implied, Mr.Frum makes no direct mention of Wilson's role in the creation of the League of Nations.

Stop subsidizing oil companies! No tax breaks or incentives to drill, nothing!

Nuclear power.i know that won't help transportation, but we are going to need massive amounts of power, wind and solar will not cut it.

Solar power arrives at the rate of roughly a horsepower to the square yard. I can't imagine a civilization at our current level of technology using remotely that amount of power.

Nuclear power CAN help transportation because it can help charge electric vehicles. Having said that, solar and wind (backed by battery backup storage) CAN provide all the power we need.

"In a previous life," as the expression goes, I had to spend a lot of time researching in patent offices in Europe. I knew my way around. But one day, I was curious about a certain room not far from my own seat at a research table, so I simply asked the staff: What are these guys up to over there? A.: "Oh, that's the Army." He then explained to me that every single patent application had to go through the Army's office. So, of course, I had to ask why. "Well, just in case a new invention would be of interest to the government." Like what, I asked? "Oh, new explosives, propulsion systems, stealth technologies, that kind of stuff." What happens if they find something of interest? "It's confiscated." Really? How often does that happen? "It's very rare, but it does happen." I completely forgot about that conversation until... Many years later I saw a documentary from Dr. Steven Greer on UFOs, where he mentions that 5,000+ U.S. patents related to new forms of energy, anti-gravity systems, etc., had been confiscated by the U.S. government...Thinking about this film over a period of several days, I finally made a connection with that patent office where I was working in Europe years before. What are they trying to hide? Fast forward to July 2023, the U.S. House Committee on Oversight and Accountability heard explosive testimony _under oath_ not only about the mysterious craft that was beyond any known technological capabilities but also eyewitness accounts by former U.S. military personnel. The hearing entitled “Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena: Implications on National Security, Public Safety, and Government Transparency,” heard from: Ryan Graves, Executive Director of Americans for Safe Aerospace; Commander David Fravor (Ret.), Former Commanding Officer United States Navy, and David Grusch, Former National Reconnaissance Officer Representative, Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena Task Force Department of Defense. This is serious stuff! We're not talking about "conspiracy theories" here. Spoiler: Fossil fuels have been obsolete for many decades. For geopolitical reasons, the new technologies are not used. You go from there. Don't get sucked in by the climate change canard. Ask the tough questions and don't accept any gaslighting as answers.

There is no rank of "commanding officer" in the Navy. 🤣🙄Climate change is not a canard. Kooks of every kind (climate denial, UFOs, ancient aliens, quackery, ESP, Scientology, "Afrocentric" history, Holocaust denial, you name it ) cherry pick and over-emphasize seemingly credible or authoritative sources and claims while stubbornly ignoring both common sense and the overwhelming crushing massive evidence refuting their beloved conspiracy theories.

PLEASE do some more research on this subject before discussing it

What could be more infantile than David Frum's personal attack on a Member of Parliament as "childish" rather than addressing the issue? There is a big issue here, what to do about carbon and the heat-health of our planet, and there is a proposal which is clearly intended as a gentle way into the thicket that issue represents. Poor Frum has chosen not to enter the thicket, opting for school-yard name-calling instead. David's wise and excellent parents, both public intellectuals, would crnge for him were they able to see this video.

nope. He did address MULTIPLE issues, he didn't oversimplify it and he didn't fixate on the moniker as a defending justification in its own right.

Great episode! Hoping for hydrogen!

Hydrogen is a will-o-wisp, a mirage. Anything it can do, other solutions can do better. It costs a fortune to make, and is extremely difficult and dangerous to transport, and store, and use. Far better to use alcohol fuels like natgas-derived methanol or much-maligned biomass-dervied ethanol in internal combustion engines, in some mix with EVs.
