Trudeau deserves all the grilling. He’s made promises over promises about curbing emissions all the while pushing for petrol in practice. He’s losing popularity fast domestically too -- but the conservatives are picking up steam to replace him at the next election. Those ones don’t even pretend to care.

And the only viable alternative for Canadians is the conservatives who will definitely trash the environment completely if they get a majority.
