I think trudeau's "net zero" will be reached about the same time the budget balances itself.

Caring and doing something about it are two different things. Anyone that believes carbon tax actually actually fights climate change just because Sweden and Denmark have one they are sadly delusional.

This is NDP non sense. Poilievre needs to keep hammering Trudeau on what benefits the carbon taxes are for the environment vs the economic damage they are causing. Unless the entire world were to adopt these policies the entire exercise is moot anyway.

Climate is not an issue and Canadians know it.

Lol like Canadians will care about the sun monster when they are having their mortgages foreclosed

Somebody needs to tell Mulclair that real women living in the real world have real concerns over affordability issues. They're not gonna choose homelessness and starvation over climate idealism ideology

Maybe PP could as why JT has not filled the Federal Ethics Commissioner position for over 6 months?

Surly nobody is going to vote for Trudeau

[boblee]

Canada could benefit from a shorter winter and longer grow season

I was aggravated by Ford too however the more facts I hear (from actual journalists, not the opposition) the more I see "Mulcair's take" is untrue.

[Dubsizzla]

Go talk to the Sun bubb!!!
I don't want to hear anymore talk of humans and their cars heating the planet! Cuz THEY AIN'T!!!

He had 8 years to control the climate. Lol

Na na na na.. hey hey hey goodbye!

"Climate Change" vs Bread & Butter. Hmm. Let me think...let me think 😂

[letfreedomreignhonk]

Mulclair has obviously never listened to Pierre except for sound bites.

[Blackconservativegirl]

Affordability over JT's climate change and LGBT rights...vote PP

[shawnhunt]

He's so worried about the climate but fly's all over the world how many times in the last year alone. What a hypocrite and now taking the whole brood on vacation are they all going to walk to BC.

[wifferstess]

I don’t think this wedge would have much effect. It’s easy to turn it back on him because he’s missed tree planting targets, showed his hypocrisy when asking everyone else to cut back, and making it more expensive for everyone.

So it's my understanding that a hurricane knocked down a power line on Maui which caused the devastating fire there. Well one may try to connect the dots to climate change it is a bit of a stretch!

Aren't you assuming the Liberals will be in power in 2035 ??
