Canada Update: ‘Suddenly, Climate Hysteria is Gone’ – ‘Only 4% of Canadians think climate change is our top problem’

Joe Oliver writes at Financial Post And suddenly, climate change hysteria is gone.  Excerpts in italics with my bolds and added images.

Only 4% of Canadians think climate change is our top problem.
But many of them are hard-core activists ready to block projects.

Over the past several months, public concern about climate change has declined dramatically, replaced by newfound enthusiasm for the development of Canada’s vast oil and gas reserves. The federal government is now under mounting political pressure to expedite the construction of pipelines to tidewater that will bring economic growth, employment, energy security and funding for social programs or tax relief.

What caused the sharp reversal in public opinion?
And will the government actually deliver?

Just today I found this seven-year-old article exposing climate change fanatics' lies:

Of the Canucks I know, *NONE* are bunny huggers. None. I have had far more arguments of that kind down here in the states than ever up there.

Now, as usual, the statement that these are all Western Canadians. I know a handful from over in the Maritime provinces (that also agree)... but mostly of the Western provinces.

I think this is a change in media to allow Ottowa to very publicly change its mind about pipelines, and drilling, and logging, and cattle, and such to try to placate Alberta and Saskatchewan, who are very seriously looking to part ways from Canada

You may be right. Virtually every environmental edict has been a direct attack on energy, mining, farming, or ranching (all productive occupations that create wealth and extract resources from the ground).  Back East, there is a lot more of the more parasitic occupations that make their living regulating or acting as middlemen.

Moreso in Canada. There is some sort of weirdo profit-sharing thing between provinces. Alberta has been losing money hand over fist to that edict, while getting beat like a red-headed stepchild. That's why Alberta is leading the charge toward separation... Saskatchewan not far behind.

It is a real thing in Alberta. The folks are pissed off, ever since covid and the trucker's strike.

Seems that... on this topic, at least... Canadians have a lot more common sense regarding the realities of the "environment" and "climate" than do a large cohort of Americans...

When most of your population lives in the southern third of your country or snuggled up to some oceanic warm water current, you have a little better understanding of winter, and what warmer climates would mean...(no more Ice roads)...more agriculture, easier mining...

Nine point seven million people around the world were polled on their greatest concerns. 
Climate change was dead last.

The scientists have been right about climate change all along, says former Vice President Al Gore on the 20th anniversary of the release of "An Inconvenient Truth," the Oscar-winning documentary about Gore's campaign to educate people about climate change.

His movie had Miami and New York submerged under the ocean by now, the ice cap disappearing by 2014, Glacier National Park glacier-free by 2020, and no more Snows of Kilimanjaro. He was wrong about hurricanes, the ocean, the temperature.  but mostly, like all Malthusians, Gore was wrong about human ingenuity.

The so-called "scientists" have been as correct about climate warming as the phrenologists of old were "correct" about skull bumps indicating whether a person had criminal tendencies.

Good analogy.
