    By “do better” I think they mean “allow me to continue living exactly as I have been with no noticeable changes, hardships or tax increases”

      Nah, tax the shit out of me. I live in Québec, I can take it. I spent 6 months this year working directly, or indirectly, in response to climate disasters.

      Removing beef would be better than marginal increases in burps.

      Removing cars would be better than burps.

      Removing oil and gas extraction would do better than burps.

      Make hard choices, incremental increases shouldn’t be news.

      NATO is making Canada the home of the headquarters for fighting climate change, think they’re doing that because we’re good at it?
