>>12753090We strike a balance.
Like any state with more good fortune than we know what to do with, lots of our citizens care more about people from other countries than their fellow Canadians, which is gay. They tend to sympathize with the countries that would get boned by global warming.
On the other hand, we produce lots of oil, which many jobs depend on, so even if most people don't like global warming, only our virtue-signaliest citizens (Vancouver, Montreal, etc) are against producing oil. It's sort of a Norway situation.
I think any of us who have really thought about it see global warming as good for Canada, but that's not really something you can say in polite society. It's also possible that it could lead to global destabilization, which would obviously be bad for everyone, and thus Canada.
I think all of us are against environmental degradation in the form of pollution, habitat destruction, etc. But it's tough to give a shit about the wellbeing of polar bears when you're weighing against the opening of the arctic passage.
