How many ways can @mark-carney.bsky.social let Canadians know that dealing with the climate crisis is not high on his priority list?
Smart & honest people know full well that ignoring problems do not make them go away.
It's just bad leadership.

The votes on the federal budget forced ministers to leave critical international climate negotiations a week early, right as negotiations are going down to the wire.
Canada is missing in action at COP30 and now is less able to even participate. An all around pathetic summit for Carney's gov.

Federal budget scramble leaves Canadian negotiators rudderless at UN climate summit
The federal budget made it through confidence votes unscathed at the cost of Canada sacrificing its ministerial presence at international climate negotiations in Brazil.

WRIGHT: The track record is bad. We've spent hundreds of billions of subsidies for an energy source that's sometimes there. The main goal is to stop subsidizing. There are no meaningful subsidies for fossil fuels
