Liberals scrapping 2 billion trees target as part of budget: sources | CBC News The Liberal government is dropping its goal to plant two billion trees by 2031 as part of Tuesday's budget, according to sources familiar with the matter.

Evidently Conservative Prime Minister Mark Carney is not a fan of natural carbon solutions.

The root problem is that "adaptation" is a myth.

Cool-aid for those without the will to mitigate.

Trump always walks away from the table at the last minute to try to get better terms. He would have just used a different excuse to do so.

Note that the ad did get the US Senate to vote against Canadian tariffs by a narrow margin. The issue is now the House.

That is what T is really mad about.

Good cop, bad cop.

Ford is spending over $6 B a year to hide the increase from the public, enough to buy a heat pump p for every house in Ontario within 10 years.

Doubling down on nuclear to pay an American company for SMRs that only run on American fuel is Elbows down.

Anyone crossing the border for the winter is a traitor. Go to the Carribean or Mexico instead. The Mediterranean is dirt cheap in the off season.

$6 B a year buys a heat pump for every house in Ontario within 10 years.

Elbows-down Doug Ford wants to spend $Billions more on paying an American company to build SMRs that require American enriched Uranium.

The alternative is grid storage backed renewable power which is far cheaper & faster.

Wheneverver Trump lies, the best antidote is the truth.

Here is the full Reagan address, only 5 min long. Ontario's ad did not manipulate the truth.

Can someone remind me why we are protecting auto manufacturers in Canada that make zero EVs here?

Why are you not using an electric bus?

40,000 of those jobs were in Alberta, most of them in oil. Is that the type of economy we want?

Exporting more fossil fuels is not a sustainable economic strategy.

We should rope tariffs on Chinese EVs based on a 1965 style Auto Pact that requires foreign EV manufacturers to purchase parts made in Canada.

That's how the Cdn auto parts industry was built, it works and is fair.

The CEO of a pipeline that was $20 B overbudget is fundamentally unqualified for her current role, let alone her opinion on climate.

Pussy footing around the real issues of climate change, affordability, and green economic revival.

Food in schools is overdue to be permanent, as is automatic qualification for low income Canadians for federal programs.

Seriously? ... opinion based on facts not in evidence, aka wishful thinking.

Exporting more fossil fuels increases extraction emissions as well as combustion emissions.

Artificial carbon storage is still not real. If it were we would see oil patch emissions dropping, not rising.

Tar sands emissions have increased 480% from 1990 to 2023 and we wonder why we cannot make our 2030 targets?

Pro tip: another pipeline is not the answer.

@chebert18.bsky.social

Pipelines? Why is no one asking what happened to climate change and why isn't it important anymore? Make Alberta Great Again is not a national strategy.

Why not an industrial strategy that is not based on resource extraction?

AI, fusion, semiconductors, EV charging, ...

@acoyne.bsky.social

Pipelines?? 2 questions no one is asking.

1. The TMX is not at capacity and even if it were, it will never pay back on the investment made. Why another when economics don't work?

2. Hello, what about climate change? Oil extraction is the largest source of emissions in Cda.

$$$

Pro tip, don't tell the other side when you are employing negotiating tactics.

Somehow announcing a plan featuring resource extraction as the basis for the new economic revival of Canada is not believable.

Creating 400 jobs at a copper mine, when more people lost jobs at General Fusion due to lack of capital?

Which has more potential to rewrite the Canadian economy?

The list of infrastructure projects is a massive failure of imagination. Canada's economic future in the 21st century will look that same as the 18th century.

Dig it up and export it.

Is that really the best we can do?

No ambition for fusion power? Battery manufacturing...

Click on image to see what the Liberal party has lost sight of.

Why are we not doubling down on creating a Green economy while we retreat from US trade?

Sadly, including the current federal gov that on Friday not only walked back yet another climate policy, but now wants to build another oil pipeline.

In Saturday's @theglobeandmail.com @acoyne.bsky.social displays his lack of understanding of how to promote investment by high income people.

Many salaried people do too.

Taxing investment income the same as ordinary income ignores the risk of loss on investment. Why would anyone do that?

There is no logic in "pausing" a successful program if a government is truly committed to its policy goals.

The reality is that there is no government in Canada truly committed to climate action.

Conservative Prime Minister Mark Carney has the same climate strategy as Trump.

Now he wants to build yet another oil pipeline to the Pacific. It won't even carry NatGas which, arguably offsets use of coal (not really)

The last Liberal pipeline cost $32B and will never pay for itself.

Seriously, best news this year, we should send all our right-wing crazies south.

No shame after cutting FEMA and the national weather service.
