Aly Hyder Ali, oil and gas program manager at Environmental Defence, says the Impact Assessment Act (which was brought in through Bill C-69 in 2019) is one of Canada’s most essential environmental laws. It ensures thorough project evaluations before major infrastructure, like pipelines, LNG projects and mines, move forward. Repealing the act would gut federal oversight, allowing fossil fuel companies to push projects through without proper scrutiny, he warns.

“Of course, oil and gas companies would rather see their projects get rubber-stamped, than have them be properly passed,” Ali said. “It is an extremely short-sighted move that prioritizes the profits of wealthy fossil fuel and resource extraction corporations over Canada’s economic and environmental stability.”

    So the question is, why does he hate Canada so much? Is that what years of opposition do to a man? Why not just take your 25 millions and fuck off to the USA already? I guess it’s not enough peepee wants more.

    Oh would you look at that: mini-maga PP promotes deregulation as a “solution” to the problems caused by Trunp tariffs and the US trade war, imitating the exact policies and playbook of the US. Fuck off PP. Fuck off Trump.

    He doesn’t have any ideas beyond selling stuff in the ground to increasingly hostile buyers and in markets on a steady decline in face of renewables.
