Canada bet heavily on hydro as a means of cleaning up its carbon footprint; it is the third-largest hydroelectricity producer in the world. But with the climate becoming markedly drier in recent years, Canada’s utilities are now investing hundreds of billions of dollars to diversify their grids, in some cases leaning on power plants fueled by gas or coal to meet mushrooming demand.

Everything is presented with an agenda, though. That's literally the job of the editorial board: to make sure what they're publishing is within the agenda of the publication and the publisher.

News outlets have used jargon and targeted exclusion of facts in order to present a certain take on a story without highlighting that they're editorializing for as long as there have been news outlets.

It's totally fair, and healthy even, to question the motivations behind the choices made in writing or presenting the news. Just deciding that some writers or publishers are impartial while refusing to examine how they actually present stories is just picking a team and going to bed.

Sometimes the agenda at play is valuable and pro-social. That doesn't make it not an agenda.
