“This (IEA) report is a stunning rebuke to all the Canadian oil executives and politicians claiming that they can simply slap on some government-funded carbon capture and continue with business as usual in a world rapidly weaning itself off of oil and gas," said Keith Stewart, senior energy strategist for Greenpeace Canada, in an email Thursday.

The housing market is hard enough to break into for the average person. Imagine if you were fleeing war.

Digging through Facebook Marketplace listings and Craigslist posts for a new place to call home isn’t easy for anyone.
