science matters, the rule of law matters, human rights matter

that combination reeks of caring about the Liberals, not of concern for the climate

I have plenty of critique for people “making pipelines”, but no actual pipeline projects have been decided. You are condemning a hypothetical that cannot yet be evaluated, while cheering the actual removal of the carbon tax…

you are the one arguing against the carbon tax, so your commitment seems pretty superficial to me….
and I haven’t made any excuses for governments: I’ve pointed out that Carney hasn’t made any actual pipeline decisions so we can’t assess those policies

2/ that and cheap online political point scoring by condemning hypothetical policies that don’t even exist yet….
none of that comes across as particularly genuine concern about the cliate

I’m going to call bull shit on you wanting “far more effective environmental protections” given your stance on the carbon tax. Policy isn’t an either or- we need to combine lots of measures. And we need to do it fast. What you want is for others to bear the costs…1/

endless straw man…
the only actual climate policy that Carney has enacted so far is abolishing the carbon tax… which you are cheering on!

there is no unitary “consumer”: North Americans have a far worse carbon foot print than other parts of the world. You are basically writing yourself a blank check for climate injustice under the guise of leftist, ‘pro worker’ policy

And *you* are the one cheering the removal of the carbon tax, not me…

*we are all responsible* for the climate. Pretending this is just ‚corporations‘ who have nothing to do with your lifestyle and consumption is intellectually deeply dishonest

he did. Because it had become politically toxic … and who was it that had been campaigning relentlessly against it? remind me…

more straw man…

love the simplistic narrative when it was relentless conservative campaigning that politically killed the carbon tax…

so you really do not understand causality or how to assess it… the policy “worked” if emissions were lower than without it… the more so the lower

those “corporations” don’t exist independently of consumers..
