Always these 2 provinces acting like they're shell corporations for some oil mogul.

So basically:

Allow us to pollute everything band everyone and become stinking filthy rich in the process, or we will make pouty faces!

[–] avidamoeba@lemmy.ca 3 points 17 hours ago

Only very few of them. And unless they're owners of those corporations, they won't get that rich anyway. Oh and isn't a significant portion of the Canadian oil companies ownership foreign?

K we'll all just die of climate change then

Our emissions are already terrible. We do not need to destroy the earth more.

It's always been a bit of a mind bender. Provinces with a massive industry extremely sensitive to actually being able to grow things in the ground who lobby for a separate industry of which the products actively threaten the former's existence. Especially troubling when the former is renewable, and the latter is not.

I suppose it makes sense when the politicians are in the deep pockets of the giant oil corps rather than the smaller pockets of farmers, though farming is becoming more of a giant corp game too.

"commercial free speech"

By which they mean lying. They want to be able to legally lie about environment-related claims to Canadians. I'm curious what planet they're from

Snow Texas.

That bitch needs to get the hell out of office. Between her being pretty much against wind/solar/other green energy and what she's done to AHS. She needs to go!

I'm glad I was able to do my part for the planet thanks to the federal Greener Homes Grant and Loan. I installed 30 solar panels on my house and garage. 6 months(sometimes 7, depends on snow being on panels or not) out of the year ENMAX owes me money for feeding power to the grid, which ends up dropping my overall bill for the 4 services (power, natural gas, water, and waste/recycling) to under $150. Sometimes even under $100 depending how often the central air runs.

They are both idiots. While Moe is also a murder.

Speed running climate change.
