I was kind of amazed to learn this in the article:
Recent polling by Abacus Data found that only 13 per cent of voters ranked climate change as one of their top three issues, well back of concerns like the cost of living (64 per cent) and Donald Trump (34 per cent). Among Liberal voters, the share only rises to 16 per cent.
I guess, I’m lucky enough to be in a position where I’m not personally very affected by inflation or tarrifs so maybe climate concerns are a luxury I can afford which others can’t.
Downloaded the Abacus report… The cbc was actually charitable, climate change was the 9th most mentioned thing when people were asked to list top issues, behind housing, healthcare, immigration, crime, job security etc. Ooof.
Its been a longstanding issue. Lots of people care, but its not at the top of their priority list.
Why do people quote books written by politicians? Those books are designed to get people to vote for them.
Carney is killing any climate plan because the idiots who vote in Canada don’t care about the environment, they would have voted for anyone who killed the Carbon levy, which was never explained by media and branded a “tax” by the Conservatives.
