This Liberal Canadian government is the worst environmental government since Harper.

Respect. (Updated with statement)
Guilbeault isn't perfect and had to go along with a lot of things, like TMX under Trudeau. But it is clear there were tradeoffs... I am willing to bet a northern pipeline and tanker ban was one of those tradeoffs for agreeing to buy TMX.
