  • Poll: Two-thirds of Canadians favour developing clean energy over fossil fuels, while 85% wish to maintain or increase federal climate action - Clean Energy Canada

    A recent survey by Abacus Data for Clean Energy Canada reveals strong Canadian support for prioritizing clean energy development over fossil fuels. Two-thirds (67%) of respondents favor investing in clean energy projects such as critical minerals, renewable power, and energy storage, compared to 33% who prefer conventional fossil fuel projects like oil, gas, and LNG.

It stresses the need to defend immigrants' rights and the right to peaceful assembly while calling for urgent climate action. The article critiques former President Donald Trump’s policies, arguing they undermine the U.S.’s ability to combat climate change, damage international alliances like the Paris Agreement, and threaten democratic principles by concentrating power in a manner reminiscent of monarchy. The piece explains that the Founding Fathers designed the U.S. government as a republic with checks and balances to prevent tyranny, contrasting this with the autocratic tendencies seen in Trump’s leadership. It notes that the climate crisis is a unique challenge that spans both present and future generations, requiring consistent, long-term policies rather than erratic measures like the “TACO” (Trump Always Chickens Out) tariff approach. The article calls for strong,
