They are taking a back seat to our economic survival. Can't save the world if we are slaves to the orange menace.

No. That's a false dichotomy.

We need to upgrade our energy grid to be more resilient and have more east/west links. That's a great time to add more renewables, and fix aging dams.

We need to reduce reliance on the US economy. That's a great opportunity to improve our fuel efficiency requirements on vehicles, and start importing from elsewhere. Even better, we can start improving transit, so we don't need those vehicles.

We need to resolve the housing crisis. As we're building more social housing, we can add requirements for improved energy efficiency and transit accessibility.

If we want to be independent from the US, we need to act in our own interest. Mitigating climate change is definitely in our own interest.

Then why are we signing military contracts with the orange menace?

[-] avidamoeba@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago

True. This won't stand to reason if we keep the F35 order though.

Yeah. I think when Russia invaded Ukraine it was a big nail in the coffin, Orangina is a big one too.
