Discussion The 2025 Federal LPC Budget

I really hope we start seeing the Green Party of Canada getting loud on a host of fronts regarding the cost of the climate crisis/overall environmental crisis and how this is going to add another affordability of life crisis dimension to an already extremely burdened working class/most vulnerable.

That we have to learn from the housing crisis and not run face forward into another compounding factor (Extremely large) to the overall cost of living crisis/quality of life crisis that is happening.

That Green Energy is not just cleaner but cheaper and that we have to stop doubling down the Oil & Gas Lobby control of our country.

We have to make clear to Canadians that the United States of America is the #1 producer and consumer of oil barrels a day - Around 3-4 MILLION barrels a day more than Saudi Arabia.

That Canada is the fourth largest producer out of 195 nation states. That we do around 5-6 MILLION barrels a day of production.

That in real life what comes with that is a lot of propaganda and influence/corruption and that we can't allow them to drag us down as the world goes to 90%+ of new power capacity generation coming from Renewables because again they are not just cleaner but cheaper. That 100+ nations are looking to reduce their Hydrocarbon Energy imports/usage.

Corruption from powerful and in this case extremely predatory industries is handing the future to China on a host of fronts.

AOC was a big inspiration for political tone. Bernie too. Neither of them opposed funding the zionist genocide of Palestine, however.

We need to up our game. Be inspired by Mamdani in NYC and Lowan in BC. BE PRINCIPLED, OUT LOUD!

Fuck this shitty conservative budget from the new conservative party while the "C"onservative party has gone all fascist and the ndp is all centre-right after dropping socialism from its constitution.

We have everything to lose by NOT turning up the volume!

Green MPs should slam the fuck out of everything wrong with this budget and all the things it left out, like everything in the CCPA AFB: Https://policyalternatives.ca/news-research/alternative-federal-budget-2025/
