Not a Canadian - I keep seeing people ridiculing the Conservative party here on Lemmy, but I saw on wikipedia that they are currently leading the polls?

Trudeau is not popular as well, if I’m not mistaken. I know an older Canadian who hates Trudeau with passion and praises Poilievre…

Is this similar to Trump’s populism strat? What is it that the conservatives are promising to be that popular?

Edit: thanks all for the explanation, I wish the best for you guys

I’m all supportive for the reduction of meat consumption, but I believe even collective individual action won’t cut it.

Well, I totally agree with you. I somewhat fall into that category as well (younger-ish generation anxious for the future).

I think he just meant that we are a failure to our own ideals, for such a smart species we failed to be responsible or keep these companies accountable. Lets say that dinosaurs had millions of years of existence and we achieved more in thousands of years, but wouldn’t it be a shame if our achievements is what led us to our own extinction? Icarus’s fall would be nothing in comparison to ours, and that in itself can be considered a failure.

Once we see no snowfall where it should be, arctics not freezing as they usually do, we know we fucked up. Wait…we’ve been seeing these patterns last year didn’t we?

I have low expectation but damn…didn’t think that they’d be that low.

We all are trying to do our parts you know, I used to like cars when I was in HS, now I don’t even consider having one. I’ll stick to public transport and will get an electric last mile transport.

These people sucks ass. They have the monetary power to make real change but decided to double down. Nowadays investments in renewables have good returns and will be viable for the next couple decades, but they care too much for their previously invested monies and want to milk the people to the last drop.

Yeah, it’s just a popular tactic for politicians to scare people then show that they are working on something to mitigate the “threat”. Immigrants, muslims, the jew, the non believers, the radiation (but not the pollution bcs it is a money maker) etc etc
