Canada’s climate plans are a PR front for a carbon-export economy: its oil sands are distorting the economy and derailing any hope for transition. The country’s upcoming election reveals how far leaders are from reversing course.

I don’t think the liberals imposing an emissions cap, doubling the carbon tax on industrial emmiters to pay for rebates on people’s houses and vehicles, and building a national energy corridor that will allow us to transport critical minerals, hydrogen, clean electricity is far from changing course… It’s foolish for people to think that this decoupling from fossil fuels would be quick.
Our cars run on gas, our homes are heated by gas, our transport trucks run on diesel, construction equipment runs on diesel. Gas stations, fuel transport to remote areas, these are things that our country has been built on for over 150 years and it needs to change. Homes/apartments being ablebto charge vehicles, heat pumps in homes, electric stoves, power hungry grids for all the new technology that needs electricity and our rapidly growing population… We need to BUILD it first. And for the last ten years… The provinces have been DRAGGING their feet on this.
Our best bet for a self sustaining and low carbon future is Carney and the liberals
