Canada is pretty bad, but if Russia and Saudi Arabia are not on your list of petrostates, you’re doing it wrong.
Canada has been called out as a “climate hypocrite” by an independent international sustainability think-tank for claiming to be a clean energy transition leader while stepping up the award of oil and gas drilling permits to levels not seen since 2017.
While you’re correct, the point isn’t that Canada is the biggest pollutor. It’s that Canada swore to do better and is instead doing worse.
And when the CPC wins this next election, it’ll get even worse.
Technically, if they openly tear up the agreement, they’re not hypocrites.
Thanks, I hate it.
Combine this with the fact that Russia, Saudis and others manipulate the price of oil for political and personal gains, I’d much rather see our money going to Canada. Yes, we need to get off carbon burning fuels, but it won’t ever happen if we let our politics and financial power fall to the hands of OPEC.
If someone is going to profit from the apocalypse, it had better be us.

I saw a guy wearing an “I love oil and gas” shirt this past weekend. Unless you’re profiting from the industry, it’s a bizarre statement to proclaim.
