Then the NDP is our only other viable choice, because PP and his Cons are no where near ready for prime time.
@girlfreddy
The Trudeau National Policy of Expanding Oil Export Infrastructure is a firehose of gasoline on #climate collapse.
Its the singular failure, the historic failure of his form of the Canadian Liberal Party.
"We have enough time to sell and burn a hundred billion more tons of oil." Is the forest fire burning lie of our time. It MUST END
CO2 TRAPS heat, like a closed window holds heat in a parked car. Global temperatures will increase until CO2 levels FALL, not when emissions fall.
Look, the US is our BIG next door neighbour and if they quietly request that we continue to work the oil sands (as I suspect they have), then we will ... no matter who is PM.
Yelling about that isn't gonna change it. The only way we might see incremental change is if we vote in an NDP gov't (but I wouldn't bet on it).
I'd also like you to tell us who you will vote for instead of the Liberals.
@girlfreddy
Defeat and end the Trudeau disaster, there is more than enough time for a leadership contest, it WILL invigorate the Liberals.
The Biden Adminsttratuon WOULD LOVE for Canada to begin exporting CLEAN new energy, Biden CLOSED coal, all of it.
The 35 billion in EXPORT expansion is NOT going to serve the US.
Neither argument is useful.
Canada burned 3 centuries of logging's trees in one summer.
30 Billion Trees.
This year's fire is π¨π¦ history's 3rd largest
#Climate #ALARM
No he didn't.
Can you please provide the link for this data?
And you never answered this question ... I'd also like you to tell us who you will vote for instead of the Liberals.
@girlfreddy
I have pinned some posts on the fires, though I cant imagine how you know anything about Canada and not know Canada burned 18 million hectares of forest last year, more than Five Million this year.
Trudeau resigning allows the Liberal Party to end oil expansion begin building new energy to replace oil and failing hydro.
The leadership contest will be good for the LPC and Canada.
Maybe even stop PP
Biden closed coal burning electrical generation during COP, 20% of US electricity
I don't see any of the pinned posts in your post or comment history. While I agree on the urgency of addressing climate change and agree that we need to substantially increase the speed of our deployment of renewables, it's completely reasonable for someone to ask for sources.
We need MORE fact checking, not less. When someone asks me for sources, I'm THRILLED to share with them, because that is someone who is interested and thinking critically. It's someone I can have a dialogue with.
@potate
It frightens me that a Canadian says they dont know about the 160,000 Square Kilometres of Burn in 2023
This is how much burned in 2023.
Everything under the square is burned to the roots. Including the black lines.
I'm assuming you meant to include an image here?
I live through the smoke every year, and have had to retrofit a ton of of air filters into my home. Believe me, I know - I live and play in the areas that are burning. But someone asking for a reference is a GOOD thing and responding dismissively doesn't sway people to better understand, it turns them off of your message.
@potate
You dont see any pinned posts?
Why not?
You can't see a comment history?
How come?

You dont have to fact check Canada's forest fires.
All the fire posts have links, most of them to ciffc.ca.
If we need to fact check the Forest Fire Catastrophe, and you're Canadian, I have to ask where are your lungs?
Do you really not know about the 18 million hectares of forests burned into their roots?

I went to your Lemmy profile, nothing there.
Thanks for providing the link - but I think that you should have posted it here instead of responding with derision.
@potate
You are insulting people on a social you arent using? Can't use?
Please block.me.
I asked where you found the "30 billion trees" quote.
And don't act so arrogant. Nobody died and made you king.
You said he closed all of it. I posted facts that refuted that.
Now please start posting your links to back your assertions.
@girlfreddy
I guess you really want Justin to stay on. Im sorry this is so hard for you.
This isnt twitter, you can take your stuff elsewhere.
Good day.
Gtfo. You can't even answer some questions. You act like a troll, therefore I will treat you as such.
@girlfreddy
Good bye, learn to handle pressure better.
@girlfreddy
Did you know Hydro was failing?
Global warming which is turning Canada's forests into kindling, ready to burn into the roots, ready to die standing, is from heat evaporating soil and reduced rainfall.
That's the sine qua non of #climate warming. Also means that Canada is no longer Exporting Hydro Electricity to the US but is IMPORTING energy as oil fed climate warming empties dams, reduces power.
We MUST build solar wind and batteries, end subsidising oil, or we don't make it.
