The incoming Clean Fuel Regulations, set to begin on Canada Day, are just the latest example of the policy fight over climate action and affordability.

PP is useless as tits on a bull for coming up with any ideas on how to fix anything. He whines and complains like a spoiled brat instead of offering Canadians a viable alternative for good leadership.

[–] corsicanguppy 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Wait. Give Evil Milhouse a chance to detail a fix.

Any fix.

Anytime. Like, today would be good.

Just, any plan for improvement.

Or, just let him go back to slagging Hair Guy for luls. He seems to really enjoy shitting on anything Hair Guy does, without a logical reason even when one exists. Right now, as leader of our opposition, he's doing a fantastic job for the Red party.

If gas companies are given an excuse to increase profits they will. No different than grocery stores overcompensating for inflation.

Fortis in B.C. just lowered our rates in April

Isn't this policy sorely needed? Cleaner fuel, maybe higher prices, both of which help slow climate change. We are all trying to switch away from buying gasoline, right? right???

I think it's being rolled out too slowly.

At this point, everything that comes out of Polievre's mouth is utterly predictable:

"The policy Trudeau just announced will lead to disaster!!!1! Alternative? Why would I bother formulating one of those?"

News outlets should just copy and paste that at the end of every story about government without bothering to actually ask him for comment. Tedious as hell.

We should really stop talking about this straight-up Nazi. I don't get why it's okay in Canada to have a major politician be a straight-up Nazi.

[–] BlameThePeacock 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I hate PP with a passion, I disagree with almost everything he says, but he isn't a Nazi. He's just a politician acting for his base, who care far more about money than they do other people or the environment.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago

Nope, he's straight up a nazi. His base is Nazis.

He is literally cozy with the German far-right.

He defends genocide and uses antisemitic tropes.

He is literally the textbook definition of Nazi.
