Green Party Leader Elizabeth May said the Carney government is not serious about climate change. May, who supported Carney’s budget in December, has since questioned the prime minister’s word after accusing him of a climate policy flip-flop.
“If we’re serious about emissions reduction, then we have to actually revisit some of the measures that have been eliminated since (Carney) took over,” May told The Canadian Press.
“They’re miles from hitting any of the Paris Agreement targets, and the prime minister did recommit to me on the floor of the House on Nov. 17 that this government is committed to the Paris Agreement and achieving its targets. So the emissions reduction update, the so-called climate competitiveness strategy — there’s lots of highfalutin titles for what boils down to…(no) climate plan.”"
People will still buy oil, they’ll just buy it from emerging markets instead. Your grandchildren will be unaffected.
How about we rezone housing for density, removing all municipal zoning that prevents density. Then invest all this money in mass transit instead of EV subsidies and GST handouts. We cant even stop using massive amounts of oil ourselves yet you’d have us stop one of our main exports that sustains our social safety net to accomplish nothing.
