What's a really disturbing red flag for me is he keeps touting carbon capture as a solution to offset the new damage. Feels like marketing strategy to allay the fears of people who don't have the time to look into its effectiveness. I thought CCS was just something he used during the campaign and won't be actually leaning into.

Surprise, surprise. Carney is still a neoliberal.

Getting the federal government to stop doing things like that begins with getting Big Oil's political influence and propaganda out of Alberta.

This is the result of them promoting an astroturf separatist movement which they weaponized to force the federal government to let them pollute the planet unhindered, under threat of destroying the country.

Man this sub really hates the guy. Other places I see people praising him, and the other half hating him. No one in the middle even. Last I saw his polling numbers were at their highest peak, not sure where they are at now.

What makes this place so hostile?

Carney is a fiscal conservative, so let's get that straight. His concerns are Canadian independence, sovereignty and growth. He's thinking about keeping the country economically viable and strong through this period of turmoil and "new world order" shift as the US is keen to dump its global hegemony.

Now...... with that said, I'm sure he does care about the climate, but it totally takes a back seat to these other issues which he sees as being essentially existential.

I think it's an order of priorities and people who service the constant crisis/boom cycle of capitalism will never get correct. Humans are party animals and no amount of good sense is going to change that. It's going to take burning this bitch to the ground and immense loss of life to change tack, and only then it will be because it becomes the predominant existential problem.

As long as most people can still shit somewhat comfortably, nothing will be done to upset that directly, ever. This is why so many bad things can happen and the average person wont lift a finger, because they still have a nice seat waiting for them at home to shit on.

career politician.
