Beschrijving

Canada’s top leaders are betting big on carbon capture to slash emissions while ramping up oil production — but the science and history say otherwise. With a $16 billion pledge to bury carbon beneath Cold Lake, they’re calling it the world’s largest project and positioning Canada as a clean energy superpower. Yet experts warn this tech is plagued by sky-high costs, frequent failures, and minimal real-world impact — capturing less than 0.1% of global emissions. Leaks, inefficiencies, and even induced earthquakes threaten the long-term safety of these buried emissions. As billions vanish into failed projects, the real solution may lie in cutting energy demand — not burying it. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.

aflevering Trade War Wears On Both Sides | Vancouver News artwork

Trade War Wears On Both Sides | Vancouver News

Trade tensions are boiling over on both sides of the border, with new polls revealing widespread frustration in Canada and the U.S. Canadians are split on how to respond—most favor hitting back with tariffs rather than negotiating concessions, while trust in the U.S. administration is low, especially among Liberals and NDP voters. Americans are equally unhappy, with over half disapproving of the tariffs and many noticing higher prices. Confidence in Canada’s own negotiating team is also slipping, showing how volatile public sentiment has become. With no clear winner and consumers paying the price, the path forward remains uncertain and tense. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.

Council Tries Again to Balance Fees | Vancouver News

Clark County councilors are stuck in a tough balancing act: funding vital health and safety services without crushing local businesses already drowning in fees. Two proposed fee hikes—either a capped 5% increase or a mix of freezes and cuts—both fell short. Now, they’re seeking a third plan that recovers full costs but caps increases at just 2%—all while businesses warn even small hikes sting. Final decision? September.

Mercedes Crash in Vancouver Ends in Fine | Vancouver News

A Mercedes SUV tore through downtown Vancouver two years ago, smashing cars, a bike rack, a street sign, and splitting a tree in half before the driver fled. The 53-year-old, Soyoub Kim, initially charged with dangerous driving, ended up pleading guilty to a lesser charge — driving without due care — avoiding a criminal record. He received a $2,000 fine and a $300 victim surcharge. Police considered impaired driving but dropped it, likely due to his clean record. A wild crash with a surprisingly light legal outcome.
