The first big date is 2030. My fear is we are going to suffer to make these goals and all will be for nothing. Why are you so fearful? I honestly don't understand why you're not celebrating decades of success at limiting action. The warming is accelerating - you're clearly winning the battle hands down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The majority of Canadians do believe in climate change, that's not the issue, the issue is that the majority of Canadians also throw their support behind the Liberal climate change plan when in reality it does very little to change anything. We as a nation have not met any of the climate change goals we have signed on to, then again, we as a nation don't have a sound record of keeping to any international treaties we have signed on to. Don't get me wrong we love to sign shit and get photos taken, we just don't like abiding by what we agreed to. The left is not the only side that is concerned about climate change, instead, they have taken the lazy way out and passed it all on to the consumer like most issues they tackle either pass it off to someone else or kick it down the road for someone else to fix. Just don't sit there and try to tell us that the left is handling this problem with a lame excuse of a program while the right is sitting there sitting on their asses and wanting the globe to burn.

However I live very near the main international airport in Finland and I go to work by train which connects to the airport. Those trains are always absolutely packed full of people with those suitcases which you pull behind you and which take a lot space and which make an annoying screeching noise as their wheels roll on the ground. I can't help wondering how many of those people belong to the crowd who say that they are very worried about the climate change but don't you dare touch my foreign holiday.

The question should be, Why are you so content with the liberal plan ?, Our government declared a climate change emergency, and the majority of Canadians agreed, that it is an emergency. A crisis that needs to be handled with an extreme sense of urgency with all resources available. Unless my definition of an emergency is wrong. So taxing a product to make end users to reconsider using it, and then giving those taxes collected back to everyone regardless if they contributed or not that is the best we can do. Global events have now doubled the price of fossil fuels, to 10 times the price carbon taxes would ever be. And people are still driving around... this global crisis has allowed us to see into the future, and people are still using fossil fuels even when prices are much higher than the taxes would ever be... the plan failed and we as a nation will fail to meet our target goals. And if that is OK with you, then why do anything at all, why are we half-assing this emergency? It is not about left or right it is about the solution and keeping our planet from burning. Then in my opinion it is not much of an emergency, is it? with all the knowledge and expertise in Canada, this was the best plan we could come up with, that this is still the best plan ever? I'm not an expert, and this topic is way over my head, but i would start by using all those taxes to fund R&D into finding an alternative source of energy, we just spent 500 bil on a pandemic, why can we spend money on finding a solution to saving the planet, i would use taxpayers money into improving existing infrastructure to prepare for the increase in electrical usage, build new infrastructure, invest in new tech like micro nuke facilities, major tax relief for buyers of electrical vehs, solar power homes, use of thermal heat pumps. I think you get the idea, and I'm sure there are experts out there that could provide much better solutions than I could ever do. And yet we as Canadians are content with the status quo. We either are not smart enough to see a better way or pride is getting in everyone's way. , or we really don't care and should stop lying to ourselves.

NO, we can not pin this on any one party, This is on Canadians we put these parties in office and it is up to us to give them their platforms, fail to do that and well they get creative. And then it is on us. Justin has been elected 3 times, and his platform has changed 3 times, the left which includes the NDP, has agreed with those platforms, and those voters need to step up and take responsibility for their climate plan... or maybe we don't care as much as we say we do?

No one is asking to snap your finger and flip everything. Of course that's not possible. Solar/Wind/Hydro are already provinding a lot of energy. They're also providing jobs. Material created by oil is already being replaced by low foot print sources. It's already happening. Why is it so hard to believe that we can finally reach a point where we can totally replace fossil fuels? Because the technology today cannot foot the bill. Yet governments in the west are destroying their affluence with Jack-assery like carbon taxes and choking insane regulations down the public's throats. And too many people are convinced the hardship is worth it because... "AHHH! WE ALL GONNA DIE!" The lie of the century. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OooKkk, the Conservative plan is not really any better, is that what you wanted to hear, the liberal plan is the one in motion right now unless I missed something in the news, the liberals are in charge right now right...It was the liberals that declared an Emergency right... perhaps you can walk me through how this plan fits into the emergency category.. and i am the one deflecting... that this issue is divided by political party...Climate change is not the issue here it is left against right... let me know how that is working out. it is also about the Canadians (Left and Right) talking a good game but really not willing to do anything about it...

Pat Stogran of the PPCLI he tried to run for the NDP no way they were accepting him into their urbane elitist ranks you can't fight city hall in Canada there is no legitimate way of altering the policies from the preference of the ruling class Edited July 24, 2022 by Dougie93 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
