We should focus more on people in China polluting before we do here as they are astronomically worse.

 @9HKDJJ3from Ontario  disagreed…12mos12MO

i feel like anger from most people would start to happen if taxes started to go up higher than usual

 @9H2K5D7Conservativefrom British Columbia  disagreed…1yr1Y

the fossil fuel industry is currently one of Canada's largest sources of income, and it is our main option as of right now. Changes can be made to protect our environment, but increasing taxes and regulations would not work, and it would punish all Canadians until we magically all started using alternative energy sources.

 @9LW3PRQfrom New York  disagreed…7mos7MO

Although this might fix the problem of pollution in our own backyard, it will also take away industry and natural gas production, leading us to rely to heavily on other countries and paying more for oil and gas. We spend too much as it is.

 @9FKSS3GLiberalfrom Ontario  disagreed…1yr1Y

Fossils fuels cause more harm then good and can pollute the enviroment with undoable damage as where we can stop the use of fossils fuels and replace it with something much more clean for the enviroment.

 @9FGZ5BXfrom Ontario  agreed…1yr1Y

Well Canada can impliment a carbon tax on companies that produce high amounts of carbon and use that money to find ways to limit carbon emmisions.

 @9F8TNT4from Alberta  disagreed…1yr1Y

Canada releys on the oil and gas industry and althoughe eastern canada wants to destroy western canada this would completly destroy Canadas wealth

 @9FFL26Zfrom Alberta  disagreed…1yr1Y

People don’t have money to afford the switch to green transportation and many things there is no alternative.

Texas Offers Trump 1,400 Acres for His Mass Deportation Dream

Officials in Texas have offered President-elect Trump a 1,400-acre ranch for his mass deportation plan.Dawn Buckingham, land commissioner of the Texas General Land Office, said in a letter to Trump Tuesday that her office was “fully prepared” to work with federal agencies that are going to be involved in Trump’s immigration plan, and specifically deportation.Buckingham offered Trump a 1,402-acre lot in Starr County. The lot is owned by the Texas General Land Office and is roughly 35 miles west of McAllen, Texas.She said the agency is ready to work with the Department of Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) or the U.S. Border Patrol to build a facility on the land for “the processing, detention, and coordination of the largest deportation of violent criminals in the nation’s history.”“I am committed to using every available means at my disposal to gain complete operational security of our border,” Buckingham wrote.The letter and offering of land were first reported by The Texas Tribune. Last month, the state bought the land along the U.S.-Mexico border and has plans to build a wall.In the letter, Buckingham criticized her predecessor for not allowing a border wall to be built on the property. Those actions “enabled cartel members and violent criminals to sexually abuse migrant women and children on this land,” she said.On Monday, Trump signaled he would declare an immigration national emergency and use military assets to support his mass deportation plan when he returns to office.

International Criminal Court Issues Arrest Warrant For Netanyahu

The International Criminal Court on Thursday issued arrest warrants for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel and the former Israeli defense minister, Yoav Gallant, for crimes against humanity and war crimes in the Gaza Strip.Karim Khan, the court’s chief prosecutor, had requested the arrest warrants in May for the two Israelis, alongside three top Hamas officials. Israel has fiercely contested the court’s allegations, which include the use of starvation as a weapon of war and “intentionally directing an attack against the civilian population.”The court on Thursday also issued a warrant for the arrest of Muhammad Deif, Hamas’s military chief, for crimes against humanity, including murder, hostage taking and sexual violence. Israel said in August that it had killed Mr. Deif. Mr. Khan had also sought arrest warrants for Yahya Sinwar, the leader of Hamas, and Ismail Haniyeh, another top figure in the militant group, both of whom were later killed by Israel.The warrants added to Israel’s declining legitimacy on the world stage, where it has faced increasingly fierce condemnation over its conduct of the war against Hamas in Gaza. Israel insists that it fights in accordance with the international laws of war.
