Our lifestyle over the past 50 years brought this upon us and there is no easy way out. I just find it so interesting that so many Canadians blame someone else for their own (our own) behaviour. These people are trying desperately to cling to a status quo which doesn't exist anymore.

Classic human psychology of looking for someone else to blame. People won't crackback on Ford or American Airlines because they can draw a straight line to patronage at those companies. Much better to blame an Oil company that no one ever has direct dealings with as a consumer. Also I can't believe someone invoked climate change to try and grift money from another party. Shocked, shocked I tell you.
