“The U.S. wants to achieve energy dominance. We support you in that view,” Hodgson said. “We will win this race.”

Hodgson told POLITICO that energy dominance could be achieved if the U.S. and Canada work together as “Fortress North America.”

Are you fucking serious??

EDIT: Ok so... to add to my reaction (I was on my phone and didn't want to type a full paragraph), we're basically endorsing the U.S. attacking Venezuela and kidnapping their country's political leader, bombing Iran and killing innocent people, and essentially endoring their previous wars in Iraq while we're at it because we all know what those were for. Like, how can Canada support this? Is it to appease Alberta with their threat of separation? Is the federal government so fucking spineless that they'll support genocide and murder, instead of growing one and telling Alberta to sit the fuck down and shut up?

We should be accelerating alternative energies to get oil out of the fucking equation as much as possible. We should be moving towards increasing electrified public transit infrastructure, electric vehicles and I'm not talking automobiles, but delivery trucks, vans, trash collecting vehicles, buses, etc. And investing in solar and wind power generation. Also reducing the use of plastics and a whole bunch of other petro-products.

We have a fucking banker with no fucking vision for a prime minister. He's still using the same old formulas and the same old ideas with the same old markets like those things are still going to save "the economy" (read businesses, not people's ability to purchase) with no regard for the environment because "it's not profitable" or whatever the fuck,
