Today, Poilievre announced that he’ll scrap the industrial carbon tax.
So, I thought I’d repost this gem where he responds to my question by saying that the industrial carbon tax “doesn’t exist.”
In case you needed a reminder that Pierre Poilievre straight up lies - just like Trump.

Excluding Karina Gould from Carney’s cabinet, the only Liberal Leadership candidate who truly spoke to the grassroots progressive values that led to Trudeau’s election in 2015, is… a mistake.

A weekend column from me, on why we shouldn’t obsess over a new oil pipeline, and instead focus on the the energy-related stuff Canada can actually get done to strengthen itself in the face of the Trump threat. www.theglobeandmail.com/business/com...
Opinion: Why Canada should heed its Energy Minister’s call to calm down about oil pipelines
Despite the security dangers posed by U.S. President Donald Trump, there is no way a new – or resurrected – pipeline project would be completed in less than five years

Climate deniers used to mock Elon Musk as part of a billionaire "climate elite."
But now they're embracing him, according to a @desmog.bsky.social analysis of climate denier communications.

A super scary response from Canadian politicians these days is instead of building up our energy independence from America by investing more in renewables, many (incl. Mark Carney!) are pushing more oil and gas exports to other countries as a solution. More fossil fuels are NEVER a climate solution!

I’m tired of the false advertising from big oil and gas when I’m watching hockey. Love this initiative from Environmental Defence!!
Fossil fuels are trying to greenwash the sports we love
It's called sportswashing: they capitalize on people's love of sport to gain goodwill -- while continuing to fuel climate disasters
We can't let them get away with it - this morning we pushed back 👇👇

I applaud the PM for avoiding a trade war, but the tariff threat was never about fentanyl and the borde. Trump is telling Canadians what to do by holding our economy hostage. The goal post will be pushed back. He is a direct threat to our sovereignty. #canpoli
