Fucking UCP government just deep in the pockets of Big Oil. Just rename yourself The Oil Sands Political Party and at least be honest about it, ya fucking loser assholes.
Of all the places on earth that might conceivably come out slightly ahead on climate change, Canada and Russia are two of the biggest.
Can't help but feel these two countries consistently being some of the worst on per capita emissions isn't a coincidence.
Canada was created as a colonialist apparatus, that exists to facilitate the extraction of natural and human resources, and transfer them to private ownership. It's literally the reason the country exists, and it has never been reformed. We just cover it up with PR. We don't emit greenhouse gasses because we are trying to terraform the planet, it's just the most profitable way to exploit our resources right now.
They're not so much in the pockets of big oil so much as they literally are big oil. At least a part of it.
