There are NO downsides to improving the quality of air in the spaces in which our kids and their educators spend the most time. Even the cost makes itself up in reducing replacement staffing costs, bettering education, decreasing healthcare burden, etc.

Still horrified by a court saying evidence is unnecessary, & common sense without a definition or test (that I saw at a glance) by a govt that routinely ignores staff/expert advice & made roads unsafe many ways= +, while taking judicial notice that induced demand is not a thing.

The fact that he views public assets as belonging to the government is the problem. They don't belong to the government. They belong to the public. They belong to us. Not the Liberals, not Parliament, not him. Us. He's a caretaker, not an owner.

"Climate change is exacting a grave health toll. Public financing to projects that add to, and further entrench, fossil fuel dependence in Canada and globally raises significant Charter concerns when Canadians are already suffering the consequences of climate change." #CdnPoli
Public subsidies and financing for fossil fuel projects that increase global warming engage and may
violate Canadians’ fundamental rights to life, security of the person and equality. Climate change puts the
lives and health of Canadians at risk, with those risks disproportionally impacting Indigenous peoples,
youth, and other vulnerable groups.
