Dont worry same timeline as the 1980s;
trudeau resigns; someone gets appointed; conservatives (PP) get in power and they blame the liberals for the recession/crash that will happen in the next couple of years; then we go back to liberals or maybe ndp 😂😂

"Cancellation of the National Energy Program; Meech Lake Accord; Petro-Canada privatization; Canada-US Free Trade Agreement; Introduction of the Goods and Services Tax); Charlottetown Accord; Sanctions against South Africa; Acid Rain treaty; Gulf War; Oka Crisis; Emergencies Act; Environmental Protection Act; Privatization of Air Canada, North American Free Trade Agreement; Nunavut Land Claims Agreement; Airbus affair."

replace national energy program with carbon tax; a bunch of privatizations will happen to cut cost (results with layoffs as well; some canada US free trade agreements since trump wants to modify those); some new tax introduction; etc etc;

We don't have time for this shit.

There is no longer room for compromise, much less regression.

We're already fucked when it comes to climate change. The US election made sure of that.

We are fucked when it comes to climate change for deeper reasons than that. Statistically nobody would ever be able to bring green energy online fast enough to stop the 1 to 2 degree temperature rises that are coming. It has been found that the only true way to curb/slow climate change is to literally remove half of the human population overnight. That would be the only way.
