    Trudeau deserves all the grilling. He’s made promises over promises about curbing emissions all the while pushing for petrol in practice. He’s losing popularity fast domestically too – but the conservatives are picking up steam to replace him at the next election. Those ones don’t even pretend to care.

      Yeah JT is in a tough spot because the liberals are essentially corporate centrists, they will say lots of lefty fluffy stuff to get elected but then their corporate masters (oil companies primarily) wont let them do any of it. And the only viable alternative for Canadians is the conservatives who will definitely trash the environment completely if they get a majority.

    The world needs to collectively come to the conclusion that politicians are not going to do a single meaningful thing to help curb the climate crisis. It’s not int their interests to ditch fossil fuels or make any strides that reduce power or income.

    EVERY LEADER IN THE WORLD needs grilling. They need the balls to say “NO” to money in politics and be held accountable if they don’t.

    What was it again. USA, Canada, Norway and the UK making up over half the worlds new emissions in gas and oil drilling. I mean none of them really need the money or even the energy.
