Justin Trudeau didn't get the majority he thought he was entitled to last September, so he went and bought one with taxpayers’ money, writes former NDP leader Tom Mulcair writes in an exclusive column for CTVNews.ca.

was one of the targets. Despite that shot across our collective bow, Canada will continue to subsidize oil and gas companies and approve new destructive fossil fuel projects.

I was one of the skeptics when he threw in his lot with Trudeau. I attended his nomination meeting and was surprised by the stark partisan tone he struck in defending the Liberals’ record on climate. They had bought a pipeline! How could Guilbeault back that?His answer was strong if not quite convincing. Trans Mountain was a fait accompli, no sense crying over spilt milk. He asked to be judged on his own results.

Trudeau broke a key election promise with the new Liberal climate plan. During the election campaign he was hit hard by Jagmeet Singh for having the worst record in the G7 under the Paris Accord. To help get out of the bind, Trudeau swore there’d be a “hard cap,” an absolute limit, on GHG production in the oil and gas sector. That has proven false, and Guilbeault was stuck saying we’ll get to it some time in the future . Now the other shoe is about to drop with the approval of Bay du Nord.

As former Chrétien Chief of Staff Eddie Goldenberg frankly admitted, in explaining Liberal failure to meet our international obligations, they had signed Kyoto without a plan. It was, he said, more about galvanizing public opinion. A high-sounding way of admitting that it was an exercise in political communication, nothing more.

Trudeau was able to go to last Fall’s climate summit in Glasgow thanks to the presence of Guilbeault, who has lots of credibility on the world stage. Trudeau had the temerity to tell other countries that they should be more like Canada! Don’t expect him to strut his stuff at the next one.

ThomasMulcair Seems to me, Tommyboy is salty cuz Jagmeet did what he never could.

A man with his own agenda taken from the MAGA play book. Keep lying and someone will believe it!

IMO: Anxiety is a normal reaction to climate change and we can all learn to cope with it in productive ways. Remember that there is hope for the future. No matter how bleak things may seem now, climate action from advocates and governments is already stemming the tide.

THEFT THEFT THEFT climate change is the new COVID REMEMBER 20% FOR THE LITTLE POTATO
