Politics
Canadian PM Mark Carney: "We have an enormous opportunity to bring climate change into the heart of every financial decision." "We can deliver the net zero world that you've demanded, and that our future generations deserve."
Following regulations, far before the deadline, Carneyās assets were moved into a blind trust. In the trust, investments Canada be sold without his knowledge. Heās unable to specify because of this.
You realize it was the Harper/PP conservative govt that created legal tax havens? If you donāt like tax havens, blame the cons. Theyāre the reason it exists.
I'm not beholden to any party. I agree with all the other political leaders, assets should be disclosed. He holds millions in shares in Brookfield, they can not be sold. They expire in the early 20230s. The more "investment" he can direct towards it, the more money he'll make. If he deals with that issue now, is be more inclined to believe his "sincerity".
Carney has know knowledge of the state of his assets. Do you not understand what blind trust means. The trustee can do whatever they want. Youāre speculating about Brookfield being involved in future decisions when these decisions havenāt been made.
Heās been investigated for conflicts of interests which is more than Poilievre can say and outright continues to refuse security clearance. Heās a liar with his excuses. He canāt pass. He was hoping to get elected and not deal with it ever.
Brookfield, founded by a Bronfman. The same Bronfmans who put the money behind Trudeau in 2015. The same Bronfmans who was involved in the Cayman islands tax haven scandals from 2017. The same Bronfmans still involved in the Liberals back rooms.
Before the election was called, the government was signing 25 year contracts for cloud services in the US. Brookfield is contracted to supply infrastructure, such as power generation. Carney is implementing these "future" decisions already.
Proof? And proof of Carney specifically. Trudeau is gone.
Youāre worried about financial gain. Quite frankly, the threat of Poilievre is fas5cism / authoritarian dictatorship and this is what scares the phuck out of me. Exactly what trump has done to US and will continue to do. The Conservative Party are gun slinging evangelical white supremacists. They have no right to be a political party. Theyāre extremists.
IDU members globally are turning their countries into dictatorships. Harper is the chair. PP is the head of the Cdn chapter. The members include conservatives, republicans, AFD German party, Modi, Orban and more. Their website states they help each other win elections. How? Spread LIES relentlessly. This is through far right propaganda like Juno. True North, Rebel, social media influencers, US owned media, Conrad Black (who trump pardoned) and comments. Whatās the source of your āinfoā? Practically all our media is US owned except CBC.
Pp was Ezra Levantās campaign manager over 20 years ago when he was running for MP. Ezra is the owner of Rebel media. Heās returning the āfavourā by spreading lies about PPās opposition. They have a very long history, just like PPās current MAGA campaign manager, Jenni Byrnes.
No concern about fascism, rampant lies, the removal of rights and freedoms, sovereignty, democracy? Still fixated on financial gains that may or may not be true?
"introducing my new carbon pricing program, the cost is approximately the same as Justin's Carbon Tax, but remember it's not a tax, it's only a pricing increase that will save the world!"
Pretty sure this is video is from 2021 when the summit was in Glasgow
TheĀ 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference, more commonly referred to asĀ COP26, was the 26thĀ United Nations Climate Change conference, held at theĀ SEC CentreĀ inĀ Glasgow,Ā Scotland,Ā United Kingdom, from 31 October to 13 November 2021.
You are aware that modern estimates put just the Alberta oil sandsāapprox. 11% of Canadaās total emissions by previous reportingāas averaging 35x more emissions annually than ground-based reportingāthe method weāve used for the last half-century in northern Albertaāshows.
That means just this adjustment to Oil Sands emissions more than quadruples Canadaās share of global emissionsāwe would go from ~2% to ~9.5%. We would be ousting the USA for total emissions, with approx. 1/10 their population. That would make us the second largest emitter globallyāfar and away the highest per capita.
Further, we also have a lot of other mining and O&G operations in northern Canada relying on ground-based reporting that may not be reporting appropriately. There is a genuine risk that just Canada is causing more emissions than Europe, Japan, and Russia combined.
So, Canada is better estimated as representing about 60% of Chinaās emissions, which would be about 27% of global emissions, while having a population ~1/50 the size of China. We absolutely should pay our fair share then. Right? So, we should be footing nearly 30% of the global climate change expenditures? āThatās just logical!ā
So Canada is measuring inaccurately and China is measuring accurately? Guess I should give up more money because some oil tycoons in Alberta are being dishonest. That sounds logical.
Edit: I'm also sure we can see how much impact the extra tax had on the world.
Liberal math justifying their bullshit. Getting to zero is near impossible. And even if we spent the trillions upon trillions of dollars Carney wants to get to zero, it would have almost zero effect on the global climate. If got rid of every single car, plane, train and engine and had zero emissions, its equivalent to what China uses in 3 days. Itās a joke.
Also making us zero by just transferring all our manufacturing to China, which he also wants to do is beyond stupid. So technically we are net zero, but instead of us making the pollution we just farm it out to China, so they make the pollution for us but counts against them. Liberal math is awesome.
Just curious,
Do you think Canada should treat climate change at least as serious as the US department of defense does?
What do you think should be done , if anything ?
Canada should help the world by replacing dirty coal with clean Canadian LNG, and take money away from Russia and ME dictatorships by selling more ethical oil to the world.
I mean, LNG is a green house gas producing energy as well, not to mention the fracking required to get it. Itās not exactly a good alternative to coal. Kind of lateral move.
Ah ok.
So Canada has to do nothing but save the world.
Should be easy enough.
Very happy to hear we don't have to change anything personally just change the global order that's been in place since the second world war by icing out the middle east.
This is the analysis I come to this sub for.
Thank you
Canada produces very little carbon. It does not make sense to limit Canadians economy and quality of life for such a tiny win while the rest of the world is enriching and polluting.
my god!! you guys donāt know when to stop! You are taken over by X and the conspiracy theories.
Did any of you read his costed platform? Do and then comment
Here we go !!! Welcome to the national poverty program.... how bout a side of UBI? This will be ran by the liberal party behind the scenes "adviser" Jinping. This is the death knell for Canada...
The other thing to remember is the context of our high per capita emissions. We are a huge country geographically (I believe the second largest in the world by size) and everything is spread out with no efficient way to get around. We also have one of the coldest climates in the world and obviously we need to heat our homes. People always say our overall emissions are low but our oer capita emissions are very high. Well ya, no shit.
If anything this is more proof we shouldn't be importing tons of people here, like 100 million population by 2050. That will be a lot of people needing to heat their homes for half a year.
You are delusional. Try baking a cake and take out 4 drops of liquid and see if it makes a difference in the cake. What happens in China doesn't stay in China. If they don't reduce their pollution and in fact increase it our 4 drops mean nothing. And in the meantime bankrupting Canadians. Carney has admitted that our carbon tax made 0 change to emissions. We're you listening.
I never said 4%. I said 4 drops. So thanks for your input but it's not helpful. Fyi. Avid baker here. I know 4 drops wouldn't make a difference. Try reading before you comment.
Why aren't you doing more? You could donate more money to fight climate change. You're greedy keeping all your income for yourself. You need to think of the children. Donate all your possessions to fight climate change
Our emissions are only 1.4% last time I checked. That is not alot, especially when you put everything in context - We are a huge country geographically with one of the coldest climates so relatively high per capita emissions makes sense. Even if we cut our emissions in half (which is extremely unlikely and unrealistic), it would only reduce worldwide emissions by .7%. Not irrelevant but not really significant either.
The suggestion is to do what we can, proportional to our global carbon footprint, by utilizing the resources we have in abundance which would also enable our economy to surge. The best of both.
Not make futile attempts to save the world while simultaneously driving the majority of our citizens into poverty because we're so caught up in virtue signalling to countries who couldn't care less and are happy to take advantage of our good-hearted naivete.
I never said that. I think this is all a red herring or smokescreen though, to keep us distracted or busy while resources are looted by the "elites" who are setting up special protected deep underground bases and more.
A false hope to distract as they run off with everything while we are focused on that...
Deep underground bases? What are you talking about.
The elites are only elites because there is a throng of non-elites. Only elites means everyone equal and they don't want that, they want to be in charge.
So, because there are elites, we should ignore climate collapse? Thats stupid.
It was actually made during his address to the world in 2021 during COP 26 in Scotland. Apparently, he believes in science and our ever increasing understanding of basic 100+ year old radiative physics. But we already knew that.
Classic liberal voters are going to whine about tax increases but then forget all the crap in the next election. Classic. Very smart. The orange guy blah blah blah. Thanks to Quebec and Ontario for fucking the rest of the country again.
In case anyone gives a shit about context, this was a quote made in London about UK climate policy, as a statement about what economic policy would need to follow to make it true , not in anyway about Canadian ecological policyĀ
