”... low-carbon energy, which is now cheaper than fossil fuels across 90% of the world, would bring jobs and economic growth“; nations opting out will ”face stagnation and higher prices”

Reminder: the anti-greenwashing law is there to "make sure that when companies are talking about net zero and reducing emissions, that they actually were telling the truth and not lying."

“Canada had promised not to turn away from the world’s most vulnerable (...) Instead, this budget further deepens the gap left by other major donors, undermining both global partnerships and Canada’s own strategic interests”

Carney's #Budget2025 “ignores a spiralling worldwide crisis that began this year with deep cuts by the United States, Britain and other Western countries“

“reductions to Canada’s global health investments will have devastating consequences for women and children around the world“

”The government tabled a budget that is almost defiant (...) in the sense that the opposition is being challenged to vote against it.”

If you're talking about the "olive branch" part of the quote, the NDP have been talking about the problems with this budget: Carney's plans to cut public jobs & services, eliminate the Unused Housing Tax, and give billions to US tech giants. Arts won't buy NDP support.
