ANGUS: The Frightening Lesson from Texas

Political failure in the face of the climate disasters

Charlie Angus / The Resistance - July 11, 2025

QUOTE: "By almost any measure, anyone born after 1990 is finding themselves in a new geological era, navigating a world fundamentally different from the one Baby Boomers and Gen Xers inherited. The chances of anyone alive today experiencing a year as relatively cool as 1996 are effectively nil." — John Vaillant, Fire Weather

EXCERPT: "Under the Trudeau government, Canada took the global lead in increased oil production. We have been pumping billions in subsidies to vastly expand operations that feed US refineries.

Our environment commissioner, Jerry Demarco, has pointed out that among the G7 nations, Canada stands out as a global outlier in failing to tackle emissions.

This past week, David Suzuki, Canada's environmental conscience, made a blunt admission. He believes that Canada has run out of time in addressing the climate catastrophe:

"It is now too late. We have failed to shift the narrative, and we are still caught up in the same legal, economic and political systems [that have promoted expansion of fossil fuels]. For me, what we've got to do now is hunker down." . . . . ."
