CBC will have us dining on pie in the sky till we die

Back in the pre-digital era, a crazy power-mad empress in France once advised her subjects, starving due to a bread shortage, to eat cake instead. That's a quote that has ever after served as a marker of elite detachment from reality. CBC today offers some hope for this world. Just after a spot of bad news about some youthful gangbangers shooting up the Toronto Salsa Festival, they sprung a good news story about how we are destined to get yucky stinky diesel engines off our highways. Yup, Canada is a world leader, or at least maybe not too far behind the actual leaders, in the race to replace diesel with anything but diesel. According to the CBC, once the world comes to its senses, Canada will possibly maybe be a world leader in providing clean and ridiculously virtuous hydrogen to replace diesel! That's a beautiful story, but try this little experiment. Next time you're out on a road trip, and you pass a truck stop, cruise through the acres of trucks parked and count the number of hydrogen-powered trucks. I'm guessing you won't need more than the fingers of one hand to keep track. Meanwhile, the same CBC home page barely mentions that USA and Iran are "exchanging shots." Oh ya! Not only that, but the Towelheads 'o Terror have closed the Straight of Hormuz! And while CBC is not keen to trouble you with the details, this time round we're on the cusp of global shortages of everthing from fertilizer to helium to sulfer to diesel. As Canada's official propaganda network, it's their job to keep us entertained, distracted, and ignorant. Once all those diesel trucks are permanently stranded at Irving and Husky truck stops all along the Trans Canada Highway, no doubt they'll hector the truckers about why they didn't switch to helium sooner!
