Climate Change, Once a Big Issue, Fades From Canada’s Election

The conservatives had every chance of winning this election until Trump came along, and there is no way the Liberals would have hauled it in by focusing on climate policy.
Sometimes the best thing you could do for an issue is to not politicize it. Actually, I think this is the case more often than we tend to realize.
Would have been nice to see smaller, greener parties do better though.

You do need political action on it, which makes climate change an inherently political topic. The issues are elsewhere:
- the majority [of] people would have been temporarily inconvenienced by climate action
- a small group of very powerful people would lose their existing business model
The latter group thus decided to tell the former group that reality is not what it is and that their minor inconveniences should be absolute dealbreakers.

It requires political action, but this could happen without politicizing it.
If politicians recognize the need to do something, they might do it even if they do not center their campaign around it.
German support for Ukraine was in a similar situation. Though parties had different ideas and the election would very much be decisive for the future direction, support for Ukraine was not particularly politicized in the election - they focused more on other issues. In the end actors supportive of Ukraine won though, and now they are offering their support without having politicized the issue.

Yeah, would have been nice if climate change really faded but it hasn't.. it's still there and it will be back in the menu again soon when there is no way around to deny it anymore and well, nu them there might no longer be a solution to it either.
Seriously, we've had the hottest day in the hottest week of the hottest month of the hottest year for every year for the past decade and that trend will only continue.
People will literally continue this until it can't be solved anymore.
Can anybody telle what the actual solution is to this problem? I don't want humanity to die out within the next 100 years but as it currently stands, er likely will

Our winter temp has been going since Oct of last year, usually it gets hot around this time

Oh god, another one with "look, snow! Climate change is false!"
It doesn't happen at the same levels everywhere. Some areas may even cool down harder. Other areas like for example Vancouver is getting heatwave after heatwave during summer which is not normal.
If you're really interested in this I can get you some resources but if you're just trying to troll then just go away with your ignorance.

Buying local, buying Canadian, and removing internal trade restrictions actually has enormous environmental benefits as well. Carney knows this, he just doesn't want to feed the Conservative narrative about it.
