I read the article and tried to read the legal doc they sent the judge. There’s a lot of large claims here. Are there any sources? While I wouldn’t be surprised if the Libs did all of this, im pretty surprised there’s no sources in the proposal to the judge.
I agree, the environment should be the topmost issue, and that list of cancelled efforts is incredible. I knew Carney was aiming to stimulate the economy by removing some guidelines but holy shit, this is a lot.
This is your reminder, Canadian, that rich people don’t give a fuck what country you’re from. The same people fucking us, Americans, are fucking you, Canadians.
Or have you forgotten that Kevin O’Leary is from Canada?
The list of rollbacks they give is long:
What happened?! Is there any climate policy left? That’s a lot of pro-oil policy.

My blood pressure shot through the ceiling reading that list.
The environment is an increasingly bigger economic pressure, but jack shit is done about it because it can’t be quantified in an excel sheet.

Which would have got PCs elected if they didn’t do that. Killing the carbon tax gained Carney 30 points.
So before we blame THE GOVMINT maybe count all the pickup trucks on the roads?
total EV sales for Canada 2025: 170,000, only 8.4%. 91.6% chose ICE.
F150s: 138,000 Silverado: 54,000 RAM 1500: 43,000 Toyota pickups: 30,000
The reality is 9.4% of Canada’s GDP is in petroleum. Is the problem government, or is the problem Canadians who pretend they aren’t Americans?
