This absolutely applies to Canadian economic/military policy.
Third page has a line that the best time to stop wasting time was 10 years ago.
Carney is paying attention - Canadians are going to hurt as we prepare - we face threats from the south and north.
Hurt now or capitulate later.

It's more than a media problem; it's a Canada problem when the opposition leader can't pass a security check, is running the same losing schtick for years and is beholding to the anti-Canadian, seditionist Convoy crowd for his base support.

Never forget that Pierre Poilievre stood with the people who literally pissed and danced on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, tore down fencing to protect the National War Memorial. This group catapulted his leadership run. #cdnpoli #remembranceday

Those ostriches were being raised for meat and leather.
They were no more special than chickens or cattle that have also been culled because of virus.

Maybe instead of saying 'Oil and Gas trumps climate action' - the headline should say Sovereignty, Social Supports, Jobs, Housing and rule of law TEMPORARILY trumps climate action.
It's all in the framing.

In many respects, this is the most harmful budget from a climate perspective since the Harper era, writes Hadrian Mertins-Kirkwood
Oil and gas trumps climate action in brutal federal budget
The budget makes clear that fossil fuel production for export is a central pillar of this government’s economic strategy — and that it won’t let climate measures get in the way.

Carney is not being “casual” & it’s a bit rich to suggest he pay blackmail to a party on the brink of extinction. He’s doing what he always said. Playing it straight & saying if oppo won’t support- the Cdn people will decide. Nothing more democratic and honest than that.

It is staggeringly naive to think that Carney can single handedly fix things. He is continuing to influence investors to transition to clean energy
But he’s also pragmatic.
The implication that he doesn’t care about the environment is untrue completely unfounded. Maybe expand your reading list 🤔
