Canada would be uninhabitable to all but the hardiest few -- those who are willing to chop wood -- or who have the land and resources to build "earth ship" style houses or other types of architecture which blend massively thick thermal mass with passive and active solar and other forms of alternative energy. Alternative energy, by itself, isn't going to support Canada's current population. There will be a massive migration to warmer climates, or a massive die-off, or a bit of both. But there is a resilient core of pioneer types who will roll through the end of fossil fuels just fine -- Canada post fossil fuel will once again resemble the Canada of the 1800's. On a more positive note, all the gibme's and rapeugees will leave.
Nickola Tesla invented free energy for the world, died a pulper, and his formulas vanished. He was one, the most well known, but there have been others, their discoveries all suppressed as well. There shouldn't even be a discussion of fossil fuels or not.
Holy Swiss Cheese of nonsense you’ve posted here! I can hardly begin, every paragraph has an unsupported claim. But, this is the sexiest: “The first hydroelectric generating station was built in Quebec in 1885. Canada is the third largest hydro generator in the world. Dams, water, and turbines supply 60% of the country’s electricity. Manitoba has great hydro resources from Northern regions, the province’s portion of the Canadian Shield. But where the land is flat, like Alberta and Saskatchewan, hydro only supplies up to 5.5% and 13% respectively.”
Really? Are you very sure about that? I’d say NO WAY!
Let's start with so called fossil fuels have zero to do with fossils. Canada is in a CO2 deficit so we don't have a problem, but are the only ones paying extortion taxes. That are doing what? No one has answered that. It's time this madness ended. Way to destroy a country! Oh, right, that ship has sailed.
people take "power" for granted. I mean power in every form, from that which we gain from breathing to that which we toy with while self-harming with microwaves. Perhaps power is the number one human obsession. Our lust for manipulating power, be it petro chemical solar etheric hydro magnetic,,, doesnt matter, they all come with a price, and a burden of care, lest we harm ourselves or everybody/thing else on our spaceship. Yes. we are on a spaceship hurling through space/time. To get past the pollution of power production/consumption, I suggest decision makers slow down, conserve, eliminate the profiteering motivation, unleash the brightest minds on the questions of subtle frequency harnessing, water structural enhancement and interference. surely the bonds of water molecules hold enough mystery to satisfy our energy fetishes for, perhaps ever.
In land-locked AB with our long, cold, dark winters, I can't see solar ever being an option. Even though we can have some powerful winds, Windmills kill birds and cause people to have headaches, we have nothing here that can produce hydro power. Where I live we are sitting on a very large natural gas deposit, very close to the surface and very easy to access, with meeting all clean energy targets. Yet, our woke Town Council has spent hundreds and hundred of thousands of dollars exploring geothermal option. While our Oil and Gas industry suffers. The source for geothermal is too far from town, and cannot maintain heat this far. So much for "green" energy scam, however, the NGOs and the companies doing all the research (two or three "studies" now, is laughing all the way to the bank on tax payers $$$$.
We need to use the gift of those resources to live and work in this climate and for reasonable trade and commerce. But, in an ideal situation that use should not be exploited beyond reasonable need and reason, that is, not let uncontrolled greed exploit the opportunity at the expense of people and the environment. Unfortunately, increasingly, one wonders who of those with power truly cares about the country and its economy.
Canada and in particular BC is the home of one of the best hydro-electric systems in the world. It's expensive and wouldn't take too many EV's per family to turn it into a routine blackout situation come summer heat spells and winter cold spells.
Energy is what provides many sustainable products which raise the quality of life and in general make life easier. That being said, it's definitely possible to 'survive' the temp extreme's in Canada, but there are definitely better options including energy sources of fossil fuels and to give credence to the needed research in the cleanest energy production through fission.
I'm definitely someone who enjoys a balance of living in an ecosystem that supports and maintains many creatures and lifestyle also... there is ways to make a balance.
I lived in Red Deer when I was 19-20, so in 1977. It was -40 (with wind chill) for two weeks. I had a powder blue down filled ski jacket that my aunt had given me for Christmas, I thought powder blue was gay but at -40 I got over it.

It’s a yes/no answer.
I believe it is possible to live anywhere in the world.
But would you really want to?
Most people today would not be able to withstand the harsh conditions and be forced to move on.
