why should they? It isn't as though it won't get done unless they pay for it. The battery plants in Ontario are proof of that. Although perhaps if it didn't cost them decades of time and millions of dollars to get an approval they might be more willing to pony up. In fact they would because they would get it done faster and cheaper and be reaping the benefits a whole lot sooner.

They have already driven a wedge into our lives. Let’s not throw the door open to them. Nothing good comes from communism.

Failure to fulfill the arbitrary desires of governments in the face of their equally arbitrary decisions which impede free market behaviours is not a failure of a free market. Governments impose the structures which provide some of the incentives which drive behaviours.
Regardless, putting private enterprises to task would be closer to fascism than socialism.

If you want something done "properly", which is to say "your way", with any attendant costs that might incur, then do it yourself.
Others may not value costs and benefits the same.

A 46-foot drone boat sat 16 miles off Plymouth for more than 100 hours with nobody touching it, picked up a low-power distress beacon 13.7 miles away and pinned it to within 65 feet, and it did all of it with the hydrogen taken out and a diesel put i
None of this makes hydrogen a bad idea at sea. It makes it a bad idea on this boat, for now. Go underwater and the arithmetic flips completely, because a

Why fossil fuels continue to triumph: Energy density
Eighteen days on hydrogen, fifty on diesel
"Same hull. Same propellers. Different box in the middle. The reason comes down to one comparison, and it is not close.
"ACUA’s published Pioneer-class specification, laid out in detail by Uncrewed Systems Technology, puts endurance at 18 days on hydrogen and 50 days on diesel, both at an average 4 knots. That is the same boat doing the same job at the same speed, with the fuel as the only variable.
"The fuel cell is not the weak link. Pioneer runs a bespoke 45 kW unit from Nuvera that hits 58% thermal efficiency, against the 50 to 52% ACUA says most fuel cells manage. The problem is what you can physically carry.
"Hydrogen goes aboard as compressed gas in a modular frame that holds up to nine cylinders at 350 bar, roughly 10 kg apiece. Diesel goes aboard as about 4,000 litres of liquid that needs no pressure vessel at all, and buys around 5,000 nautical miles of range. Hydrogen wins per kilogram and loses badly per cubic foot, and a 46-foot boat is mostly cubic feet."

This kind of journalism, or this kind of collective advocacy? Chicken-egg? Toe-May-toe, to-mah-to?

The concept of a 'collective' approach to advocacy on the part of all First Nations in BC, all for the common good, is a myth.
In many cases, each band would happily throw their peers under the bus to gain an advantge of some kind.

Tweaked that for you. And all it takes is one or two to swim against the tide.
They DID learn from the best - they don't call it "colonization" for nothing. Some would say we're being out lawyered by those Canada Past outlawyered.They've learned alot from us
And if we really want to fuel the deep-state conspiracy theories, let's not forget who funds many the advocacy organizations

Glass half full: alot of First Nations are turning into really good, satble, economic generators for regions formerly reliant on the swings and roundabouts of the mercurial commodity markets.
