See, according to enough members in the Canadian government and PM Justin Trudeau’s admin, climate doom is coming. And they were super happy to implement carbon taxes to deal with it. And

From the article
Canadian Prime Minister Justine Trudeau is an icon of progressive politics who has promised to “put a price on pollution.†Last week, to much applause, he proposed a ban on single-use plastics. On Monday night, his government declared a national “climate emergency.â€
He’s also now the public face of a Canadian plan to expand a pipeline that would triple the amount of crude oil that moves from the Alberta Tar Sands to the Pacific Coast each day for shipment around the world.
Such is his dilemma — and Canada’s.
Trudeau’s Liberal government announced Tuesday it will push ahead with the stalled Trans Mountain Pipeline expansion, $5.5 billion project that has long pitted the country’s energy sector against the concerns of environmental and some indigenous groups.
The plan is worse than though, since, due to all sorts of political fighting among elected officials, Canadian provinces, the activists, and so on
Trudeau stepped in with an extraordinary plan:Â Buying the pipeline. His government announced last year it would spend $3.5 billion to take over the project.
And changes in government can shut this down in a heartbeat, which is one of the dangers of the government owning/controlling the “means of production.”
All profits from the pipeline will be invested to fund new green technologies. It’s not a choice about producing more conventional energy or less, it’s a choice about how we produce it, and where we will sell it. https://t.co/ycrnTbc3zz

Warmists always have some sort of excuse for climahypocrisy.
