    You'll forgive me if I don't get excited until it actually passes without going through 80 revisions that just turn it into an oil company tax break.

    Idk why, but it feels like doing this sort of thing is like doing the Truth and Reconciliation Commission while still increasing en masse placing Indigenous kids in residential school systems

    At the very best, we get carbon neutral

    At worst, this will excuse more emissions along the way, because of this bill 'canceling' it out
