This is what happens when you put a banker in charge.
(Warning: As popular as Carney is, the truth is we are in deep trouble.)
Like so many others, I’ve spent years pushing for serious climate action because we are already living with the damage. I believed that if we raised our voices, demanded better, and insisted that governments act, we could drive real change.
But now I see that my enthusiasm, urgency, and moral clarity is being used not to protect the planet, but to make Mark Carney’s rich friends happy.
He says governments need to adopt "new values" to meet the climate crisis. But what he’s really done is turn our values into a blank cheque: public money funneled to investors, corporations, and asset managers with no strings attached, no hard targets, and no guarantees of actual emission reductions.
It’s climate policy as venture capital. "With a focus on results over objectives.”
That's disgusting.
And I won’t have it.
Climate action is being twisted into a pretext to give the rich more, while demanding sacrifice from the rest of us.
That’s not just wrong, it’s backwards.
Canada needs electeds who take climate policy seriously, not as a branding exercise, but as a mandate to deliver real, measurable results. We don’t need more deals, credits, or market-based promises. We need fewer emissions in the air. Now.
Carney’s initiatives will create austerity for workers: higher costs, tighter margins, and more economic precarity, while the wealthy glide above it all, shielded from consequence.
Yes, real climate policy should come with pain but it should hurt them:
-The ones who profited from pollution.
-The ones who hoarded the gains and offloaded the costs.
-The ones who lobbied to delay, deflect, and deregulate.
They should take the brunt of it.
The fucking planet is on fucking fire, and the plan is investors are to collect rebates.
Now is the time to pay attention.
The NDP are electing a new leader.
The Ontario government is drowning in scandal.
This is the moment to pay attention, stop rewarding political performance, and start demanding outcomes.
Don’t take any politician seriously unless they do what’s in your best interest:
Measurable climate results.
Fair costs.
Real accountability.
We need to see it and speak out. We need to flex. No more blank cheques or there will be payback.
