Canada's climate change sideshow - Macleans.ca

Though there is certainly plenty of competition in the category, I still think the “debate” over climate change—you’ll note my sarcastic quotation marks—is perhaps the stupidest element of Canadian politics.

And it was at the gas pumps that Conservative politicians made their stands. The Twitter accounts of countless Tory elected officials churned out staged photos of said officials standing grimly next to their vehicles on March 31, pumping gas and staring off into the abyss before the price went up a few hours later, thus saving themselves … a dollar or two.

It’s a pathetic display, all around. Hell may be other people, but an awfully close second is spending an hour reading back-and-forth tweets from the party with no plan and the party with a plan that won’t work. China’s Electricity Council, the report also noted, has proposed increasing the amount of coal-fired electrical generation in the country by almost 300 gigawatts per year — this would be more than enough to entirely offset the complete idling of the entire coal-fired power generation capacity of the United States.

Which is what made it so odd to read recently that B.C.’s NDP premier, whose minority government is backed up by the Green Party, is considering price relief for consumers unhappy with soaring gas prices.

Nuke China

Pretty accurately summed up right there. So, who's going to fill the political vacuum? peoplespca? CanadianGreens? NDP?

Yep!! Sounds about right!!! Going and getting nowhere fast!! Sad!!!

really Macleans? Matt Gurney? this is the same 'what about' bullshit that has kept us from addressing climate change far too long fucking grow up

Companies don't care about the carbon tax IMO. The cost gets passed to the consumer. NS Power has a monopoly and hikes it's rates anytime they incur higher cost. Big business does just fine. If they weren't none of these policies would be implemented. Lobbyist would stop it.

Gen IV nuclear... that’s the future if you aren’t talking that you don’t care about the future
