By focusing on more #pipelines we are leaving our energy security to other nations, with Ontario having to import power from the #UnitedStates this winter when they should be able to access all the power they need from other Canadian Provinces.

Instead of spending tens's, if not hundreds, of billions on the Pacific Link #pipeline #Canada should be building a coast to coast HVDC transmission line that can facilitate the transmission of #GreenEnergy between Provinces.

It would enhance Canadian energy security, enhance Canadian sovereignty, and when built with the free, prior, and informed consent of the Indigenous Peoples whose land Canada occupies would provide a template on how responsible infrastructure can be built.

If a service (or product) is essential to full participation in society, then it should be publicly owned and operated as a #PublicService

If that public service requires a limited resource, at the global level, then that service should be administered at the #UN to ensure equitable distribution / access globally

We are currently witnessing the consequences of allowing services, like the media (both traditional and social), that are essential to full participation in society being left in the hands of private individuals and seeing those individuals manipulate them for their own benefit.
