The ideological left having too much sway in Canada is pretty clear with the treatment of the oil and gas sector. In the states, the leftist dialogue was even more extreme than in Canada, but the policy in action was reality based. Both Obama and Biden heavily funded and supported the energy sector.
They saw it as following their leftist views, but taking full advantage of the window of time where fossil fuels were in demand, to in turn fuel the economy. Smart.
Trudeau set the timeline as immediate. I'd call that extremism.

I agree that they seem very ideological when it comes to oil and gas. I’m in the industry, and I would say it’s been a mixed bag. The tanker ban that killed gateway was bad. Saving TMX was pretty good. Lack of support for lng, dumb and Biden seems to be copying it. To be clear thought production continues to grow, exports have never been higher and will only grow this year. All in all, they actually haven’t done much.
To be clear I think this is one of the worst governments of all time.
