There’s something deeply infuriating about a politician citing climate change and energy security as priorities in the same breath as promoting LNG and carbon capture as solutions.

He either doesn’t understand the problem, or he’s hoping we don’t. Both options make him a terrible leader.

Edit: and now I’m at the point where he’s saying that the path to transition is through a period of increased emissions because the shock would be too great. Now where have I heard that before?

Oh right, the last 30 years. Somehow, choosing not to burn the planet is something “Future Canada” will have to do. “Present Canada” is always willing to screw over future generations if it means making fossil companies richer.
