Cause we did elect the guy that doesn't give a shit about the environment and hasn't done shit to stand up against Trump.
It's not nearly as trivial as this. Trump has the power to singlehandedly halt the auto industry production in Canada. He can unemploy hundreds of thousands of people in Ontario, disrupting millions of people's lives in their families and communities. Whoever is elected PM can't just sacrifice these people. In fact I would expect a more worker friendly PM, say from NDP, to be even more protective. In such a scenario, they can't afford to just flip off Trump, given the power he has over Canadian workers. The PM is forced to contend with this power and its effects. I'm not defending any of Carney's decisions, made or would be. I'm expaining why anyone in the PM shoes is faced with a terrible predicament when faced with Trump.
Canadians love blocking pipelines and doing things that make Canadians poorer in the name of climate change. They also love urban sprawl and mass immigration from low emitting countries paradoxically.
"love blocking pipelines"
Funny, I view Canada as very pipeline friendly, considering we just bought a extremely expensive one to ship oil through BC.
Well no see that misses the nuance, they created a regulatory environment that made Kinder Morgan drop out, then to avoid the bad press around Canada being uninvestable they had to buy it. Then they had massive cost overruns and are now talking about gifting it to indigenous people to avoid disclosing what a money sink it has been.
