  • “Let me just say one thing first,” Trump began. “So, I had a meeting with them. First, I had a meeting with Congress, Republican Congress. It was like a lovefest. Then, I met with them and the US Senate, which was all Republicans, 49. And it was also a lovefest, but my best meeting of the three (sic) was with the executives. And Biden’s misinformation — people put out a thing: Oh, he went on, he rambled. There was no rambling. This, you could say, this is rambling, but in order to get to the point, you have to, you know, this is a very complex subject, that a lot of people, most people don’t understand. But I just wanted to say, that that was the best meeting. They loved it. They were happy with.”

  • When Justin Trudeau was elected in 2015, he touted his government’s climate credentials on the world stage. “Canada is back, my friends,” he told delegates at the Paris climate summit. “We’re here to help.” His government rolled out a nationwide carbon tax (or as the then environment minister Catherine McKenna called it, a “price on pollution”).

    But in the years since, Canada remains the only G7 nation to emit greenhouse gases far above its 1990 levels – while now also planning to extract and export record volumes of oil.

    We’ll fix the contradiction by electing a government that doesn’t even promise to help.
