For every taxpayer dollar Mark Carney uses to promote the use of household heat pumps, which are a good move for the climate, he is directing twenty taxpayer dollars towards a new pipeline which is unspeakably catastrophic for the climate, & that's only a fraction of his climate hostile spending.

Canada: "New data shows spike in COVID-19, cold symptoms as flu season arrives" - COVID-19 positivity: 3.8% - Influenza positivity: 3.7% - RSV positivity: 0.2% - Among 52 laboratory-confirmed respiratory viral outbreaks, 67.31% were associated with COVID-19 - Data through Sept. 26, 2026
A screenshot of an online article from the CP24 news website, featuring their white logo on a black background at the top. The bold main headline reads, "New data shows spike in COVID-19, cold symptoms as flu season arrives." The article is written by Christl Dabu and was published on October 02, 2026.
Below the text, a photograph captures a woman with long dark hair sitting at a cafe table, coughing or sneezing into her inner elbow. She is wearing a pink blazer over a green top, sitting in front of a white laptop and a ceramic mug. The background shows a softly blurred bakery counter with shelves and bottled drinks. The caption below notes that federal government data found an increase in COVID-19, influenza, cough, and fever cases as of late September 2026.
