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.”"
Oil is an export that improves our current account balance and gives our dollar value, we only import solar for consumption, and we use the dollar value we get from our oil exports to do so. Oil is one of the most productive sectors of Canada with the highest productive hours per worker.
Sure if you only care about dollars that aren’t even yours.
And if it’s the most productive, why do they need my tax dollars too?
Canada has a productivity emergency, and you’re here wanting to remove our most productive sector.
Replace it first, show me some semblance of a replacement that isn’t real estate, or our government buying mortgage bonds to artificially inflate GDP.
