Climate targets are not national projects apparently. Only sucking oil and gas dick is.
Keep at it Carney and see how it goes. Quebec hates oil and gas and the PQ is ascendant. PSPP will use all of this to steel the Quebec independence argument.
Nearly 30B in oil and gas subsidies last year. Could have installed a lot of heatpumps or built an assload of electric cars with that money.
Fuck cars, high speed rail and public transit. Connect Toronto to Montreal and you're serving a huge chunk of the population and taking cars off the street.
Fewer cars, not "better" cars. The US is threatening Ukraine and planning to invade other countries so they can build more fucking cars and wider highways and more parking lots
Chantal had some choice words for Carney on this during last Friday's Good Talk.
I'm sure the Larsen ice shelf will be "committal" to it's volume and mass with respect to how much higher it's been telling us it will raise the sea level.
so somehow he is supposed to keep Canada afloat after losing its major trading partner and meet climate goals few countries will actually meet. It might have been different without Trump fucking us over.
While I'm happy to acknowledge that these are, in fact, troubling times, the notion that we should not have and adhere to standards is nonsense and wholly divorced from other countries have or do not have similar ones.
If we don't
meet climate goals few countries will actually meet
Why should we meet human rights goals that other countries do not? Why drive on this side of the road if another country doesn't? Why have any arbitrary set of standards AT ALL if we can just toss them out because some other asshole demographic decides they want to shit on the world? It's such a bullshit argument: my moron boomer parents were saying the SAME DAMN THING about emissions standards when times weren't tough, so that holds absolutely zero credibility with me.
ZERO POINTS AWARDED. The same bullshit was being shoveled around during the fucking Obama years (and the Bush ones too, I have a long memory for this) and it's not like he was hostile to his trading partners.
perhaps the lesson is that continuing to align with US interests and anchor ourselves to their sinking empire is not the way forward for Canada....
