3rd post in a great thread. But this one deserves a repost. This is just bad for the vast majority of Canadians, period. Never mind the attack on the climate. An attack on our pocket books.
Side note: carbon rebates gave a family of four an extra $1800 in their budget in 2024. In 2025, that dropped to zero.
So not only a dagger to the heart of climate action, but also a huge financial gift to rich polluters. 3/

The newly passed federal budget has put us in a catatonic state – but as young people, we’re used to this feeling.

The fact that four hostile drones tried to hit Zelenskyy’s plane & it’s barely a blip in the news cycle should terrify everyone. We’ve been dragged so deep into the chaos era that an attempted strike on a world leader doesn’t even break through. When this becomes normal, the world is in real danger.

And the LNG? Will the demand be there in 5 or 10 years? For me Canada is looking back, not forward. The world is changing and we must change with it. Oil and gas consumption is going to decline, we must diversify and not put billions into the fossil fuel industry.

So gas and electricity prices are set to rise again - because we have to pay for substantial infrastructure upgrades.
I wonder how much infrastructure could have been upgraded if private companies hadn’t spent over 30 years stealing our money for a few shareholders?
