Incredibly brazen for the Prime Minister to boast about the “lasting benefits” of expanding fossil fuel production on a day like today. Record-breaking heatwaves. Toxic smoke engulfing cities and towns. Out of control wildfires forcing entire communities to evacuate. This government is spending billions of dollars in public money to expand the very industry that’s causing climate breakdown — at a moment when renewables are cheaper and more available than ever before. No more climate-wrecking corporate welfare. We need a government that protects the people and places we love. #canada #cdnpoli #climate #wildfires

    @avilewis@mstdn.ca Who would have thought that a man who spent most of his adult life working outside Canada as an investment banker wouldn't really have the best interests of the majority of Canadians at heart 😭

  • @avilewis@mstdn.ca it would be nice if "understanding with Alberta" just for once didn't mean something horrible being done or approved.

    @avilewis@mstdn.ca What an absurd take. As if the emission from Canada contribute at all to the Global Warming from CO2 emissions. The worlds CO2 has gone up, in my lifetime, from ~310 ppm to ~ 420 ppm and Canada ha contributed less than 2 parts of that rise. This issue is too damn important to focus on making polite points rather than developing a world view that actually accomplishes something other than feeling good. .

    @avilewis@mstdn.ca An utter lack of ethics and morality is proudly being displayed by the liberal MPs. The liberals need to be toppled asap!

    @avilewis@mstdn.ca How in the hell does an investment banker not understand that renewable's cost per Kw is still falling unlike fossil fuel? I guess he is stupid enough to allow his picture to be taken wearing that cow hat, so... maybe that answers my question.
