No, we can still talk about the economic instability created by climate change

Not if you want to engage voters you can't. Take Alberta, for instance. The moment "climate" comes out of your mouth, you've lost your audience. It's the same in other provinces to varying degrees.

Canadians talk a good climate game, but they won't pay for it.

Sorry Markham, I know where you're coming from but I won't stop talking about climate change to appease the yahoos in Alberta.

markhamhislop.bsky.social•101 days ago

Don't think of it as appeasing yahoos. Climate change is the problem, the energy transition is the solution.

Why focus on the problem when we can be working on the solution?

Great article: “replace the emphasis on climate change with a focus on industrial policy. The activists will howl, but the stubborn fact is that Canadians, like their American cousins, support climate policy as long as they don’t have to pay for it [ex:]CPC’s “Axe the (carbon) Tax”

Maybe a dumb idea but back when I was young the Federal govt would strike a Royal Commission to bring forth new policies in perhaps a bipartisan way.

It's a good argument to working within the system.
I say we need a new system.

And we'll get one. An electrified one. But not tomorrow. In the meantime, we need a policy framework to support an electric future. Climate policy isn't the right framework.

Neither is capitalism.
