Random thing 2: Renewable energy supplies 91% of electricity in Portugal

Kinda. The rate of expansion of China's electrical consumption has still led to some new coal-fired plants, but that isn't the long term goal. China to head green energy boom with 60% of new projects in next six years
China is a the world leader in renewable and clean energy. While we may not agree with our local approach I will never understand why anyone would want China to just own this... Yes they also still generate A LOT of dirty electricity but they understand that it is not sustainable in the long run while also understanding you can't just flick the switch overnight.
This is the risk the USA runs by NOT embracing the clean-energy revolution. Finding excuses for not doing it needs to get replaced with asking how we can do it.
China is doing whatever it wants to these days.
I think the word you meant to use was stench. I was so glad to see the end of that nutter.
I think he did a great job representing Canada globally among other things. I don’t think you can say the same thing about Justin Trudeau. What is it that you didn’t like about him?

Here is my beef with Harper: Canadian Scientists Explain Exactly How Their Government Silenced Science
This was widely reported. If you don't like that particular article about this situation, there's lots of others from other sources back in the same timeframe describing the same situation.
That sort of thing should not happen, and it is not acceptable AT ALL.
Prediction: The same thing is going to happen, on an enormously greater scale, just to the south of us, in a couple of months.
He promised 3E senate reform and to be very transparent. Then bailed on the triple E and shut out the media to become the most secretive government ever.
Like @Brian P said he gagged Canadian scientists and wouldn't allow them to speak freely and specifically forbade them to use the word climate change.
Tried to gerrymander our elections by making it harder for First Nations to vote along with other aspect of the elections.
His changes to the Navigable Waters Act.
Screwing veterans with his "lump sum" approach.
He was racist - "Old stock Canadians..."
I could go on.
Your assertion is wrong. "Old stock Canadians" includes people who's great great grandparents emigrated here via the underground railroad. It's a term to define people that are multigenerational Canadians, not white. Trudeau likes to pull that buIIshit false flag narrative too.
Our riding tends to be more potato, less rice. When a house sold across the street an elderly neighbour asked me if I knew anything about the buyer. I think he meant colour.
The NDP candidate, with the potential of a snowball in a blast furnace, commented at an all candidates dog and pony show "People keep asking for a return to traditional Canadian values".
To me the phrase is exemplified by our troops on D-Day storming Nazi Europe. I think she missed the comments as meaning "Less rice"
I'm happy if the term "Old stock" includes newcomers as well, as long as they are here to help keep Canada a peaceful progressive country.
What else you got?
You do know the correct (read: Liberal) way to spell racist is RACIST!!!, right?
They added 324 more today that they forgot. They are spending a ton of time on something destined for the shredder with nothing to show for it other than more tens of millions burned.
Canada expands list of banned firearms to include hundreds of new models and variants
The Canadian government is expanding its list of banned firearms, adding hundreds of additional makes, models and their variants, effective immediately.

Nice, but still behind Canada.
Stephen Harper had a masters degree in economics and we got sound economic policies. Justin Trudeau was a drama teacher and all we’re getting is drama, go figure.
The last responsible government was Paul Martin before Harper everything since then has been debt

Some debt is necessary. I’ve read numerous times and I believe it to be true that this current Liberal administration has spent more money and incurred more debt than all other administrations COMBINED. I’ll say it again, the current Liberal administration has spent more money and incurred more debt than all other administrations in the last 157 years COMBINED. Think about that. If that doesn’t scare you I don’t know what will, this budget is not going to “balance itself”.
… and during those 157 years there were also two world wars to pay for and a pandemic in 1918 that was far worse than the one we just had.
