My thoughts on Steven Guilbeault's recent resignation from Carney's cabinet.
Nothing in Mark Carney's budget makes me believe he cares about fighting climate change, because the plan is to give hand-outs to all of the industries at the root of the problem.

Promoters of carbon capture and storage are serious about one thing: keeping the oil and gas industry alive long enough to profit as much as they can off of destroying the planet.
Liberals have been very concerned about mis- and disinformation in recent years, so when Mark Carney says carbon capture will allow for “decarbonized” oil, we should be clear that he’s engaging in active disinformation about climate change to please Danielle Smith and the Alberta oil industry.
