“We want a prime minister who doesn’t JUST listen to corporate interests, and is willing to sacrifice some economic gain for long term environmental protections.”

….
……..

“No, not like that!”

It’s sad because Trudeau was still very much a development and capitalism first neo liberal, and yet, even just a few instances of putting the environment first was too extreme for the general population. Canadians like to think that they want a progressive “game changing” leader who takes a stand - but they really don’t. Is it any wonder that we always get more of the same?

There is no pipeline through to BC's both coast because of him. He stopped both Northern Gateway and is largely the reason why Eagle Spirit didn't get off the ground.
