And then threatening journalists who dare ask questions about the very serious conflict of interests and perceived corruption in said legislation.

Are we still a democracy? 🤔

So New Zealand is now outsourcing the writing of its climate legislation and who and how gets to challenge it in court to the top polluters in the country.

Running the country like a business, caring only about profit. All going great huh.

Are we still the second best in corruption perception index? Because that seems bonkers to me now.

If Carney believed this we'd be rolling out renewables at 'a speed and scale not seen in generations'.

Doubling down on oil production makes us more dependent on foreign countries/adversaries since we lack the capacity to refine our own fuel products and in the time it would take to build that capacity we could already be reaping the benefits of a clean energy transition.

I'm so totally exhausted with Canadian politicians pushing this industry propaganda that more oil and gas means greater independence for Canada when the opposite is true.

Maybe, if our civilization wasn’t so dependent on oil, we wouldn’t always have to compromise our principles every time the price of oil jumps because of some crisis or another? 🤔
