Aly Hyder Ali, oil and gas program manager at Environmental Defence, says the Impact Assessment Act (which was brought in through Bill C-69 in 2019) is one of Canada’s most essential environmental laws. It ensures thorough project evaluations before major infrastructure, like pipelines, LNG projects and mines, move forward. Repealing the act would gut federal oversight, allowing fossil fuel companies to push projects through without proper scrutiny, he warns.

“Of course, oil and gas companies would rather see their projects get rubber-stamped, than have them be properly passed,” Ali said. “It is an extremely short-sighted move that prioritizes the profits of wealthy fossil fuel and resource extraction corporations over Canada's economic and environmental stability.”

If we had proportional representation, we wouldn't even be concerned about this kind of thing: !fairvote@lemmy.ca.

So the question is, why does he hate Canada so much? Is that what years of opposition do to a man? Why not just take your 25 millions and fuck off to the USA already? I guess it's not enough peepee wants more.

  • Received a government pension at 31, then raised the retirement age on hard-working Canadians
  • Defined marriage as a union between ‘one man and one woman, to the exclusion of all others’ (in front of his gay parent)
  • Visited and courted far-right extremist groups
  • Said Indigenous Peoples needed to learn the value of hard work more than they needed compensation for residential schools
  • Worked to bring American-style, anti-union laws to Canada
  • Said he’d use the notwithstanding clause, overriding Canadians’ rights
  • Committed to free votes, allowing his MPs to bring forward anti-abortion legislation

Timbit Trump has had a terrible history as MP, I don't want to see him as PM.

PP is out of touch…

Basically mirroring Trump in every bullet point of his plan.

Is his plan project 2025?

Is this question rhetorical?

So, more polution, less protections? What a dumbass.

[–] CircaV@lemmy.ca 11 points 23 hours ago

Oh would you look at that: mini-maga PP promotes deregulation as a “solution” to the problems caused by Trunp tariffs and the US trade war, imitating the exact policies and playbook of the US. Fuck off PP. Fuck off Trump.

He doesn’t have any ideas beyond selling stuff in the ground to increasingly hostile buyers and in markets on a steady decline in face of renewables.
