I mean, we knew this. A *majority* of Canadians benefitted from the federal carbon pricing scheme due to how the rebates were structured. Mark Carney didn't just hurt the climate fight, he took your money.

Japanese engineers have developed a new method to recover 90% of lithium from used electric vehicle batteries by swapping standard sodium hydroxide for recovered lithium hydroxide in the chemical refining process. In America, we are making it impossible to afford learning the skills to do this.
