No one, not even me, is claiming the Liberal government is "just as bad" as Harper's. You may need to brush up on your reading comprehension. It is, however, pursuing a number of the previous regime's policies whether you like to acknowledge that or not.<br /><br />Know this. There will be no "successful, collective retreat strategy" that you yearn for so long as we are left to bear the fetters of neoliberalism. Please show me why you believe JT has the inclination to break with neoliberalism much less the resolve to introduce the measures that would be necessary. <br /><br />I'm sure Justin would like world peace and an end to global hunger but so does every contestant in the Miss America contest.

And birds fly. And the tundra burns. The Arctic melts. Seas rise.<br /><br />This will continue (as you know due to the latency effect of CO2) regardless of the mitigations efforts that might get going.<br /><br />Our real dilemma is how we cope with this:<br />A dystopian, capitalist race to the bottom or a collective run for the life rafts?<br /><br />This is why I don't agree with the silly meme developing here about the new gov't is just as bad as the last one.<br /><br />We have a higher chance of finding a successful, collective retreat stategy under a Trudeau (or a Corbyn or a Saunders) than under a Harper or a Trump.<br />Northern PoVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04670080478290108536noreply@blogger.com
