@_ClimateCraze@ClimateThere Vancouver Canada airport is 4 meters above sea level and a (air quote) scientist from UBC says that in the next hundred years it will be under water. I looked up how much the ocean has risen in the past 100 years the answer was 3 cm. Even is probably BS.
@cbcwatcher The reality is that there is no reason to have taxes on GHG emissions . Anyone who can read a graph can see that it’s unnecessary. This is a chart of temperature over the last 10,000 years according to ice cores.
Mark Carney said one thing to Ryan Jespersen and another when pressed by the parliamentary press gallery today on constitutional reform
To Ryan Jespersen (Real Talk podcast, ~Oct 16): “Am I open to constitutional reform? Yes, I’m open to it… but I’m open to it with laying the groundwork for consensus. And part of the way you… lay groundwork for that is you build trust, you build on success, you move forward.”
He also stated: “The constitution is not unamendable, to be clear.”
The Toronto Star turned these remarks into the “Carney opens door to constitutional change” story ahead of the Alberta referendum
To the parliamentary press gallery today: When a reporter followed up on the implication that he was open to constitutional change: “I’m sorry, you have no interest in having constitutional change? No, don’t. I didn’t say. That’s not what I said at all.”
He then stressed that he favors “working now pragmatically to common solutions,” noted that constitutional change is difficult and long, and argued issues such as immigration should be handled through federal-provincial cooperation without opening the Constitution. He framed constitutional reform as something “we don’t start there” and that is “not necessary.”
The flipPodcast (Alberta-focused audience): “Yes, I’m open to it.”
Press gallery when directly asked what that means: “That’s not what I said at all,” followed by a clear preference for non-constitutional routes.
Same Prime Minister, different rooms, different messages yet AGAIN!
The “open to constitutional change” line that generated headlines gets walked back the moment the gallery presses him on it... then he rushes away @MarkJCarney
@GregMcLeanYYC How about if you guys get elected federally that you force Quebec to bring their natural gas online or they lose their equalization payment. This would go a long way to satisfying Alberta and BC and Ontario.
