Any suggestions? I'm not going to argue with myself :) I merely explained my understanding of how federal policy works, the good and the bad, because I get rattled by cynicism.

Imo a great way to get things done in Canada is at the municipal level, but the money often comes from the federal. c.f. Montreal's current admin (I did my small bit, even ran for office)

I asked the question because I was actually wondering your thoughts, like, maybe I'm being too negative to think what has been done so far has been far from what's necessary. I wasn't trying to be cynical about it.

In terms of suggestions, the book Drawdown contains many. It lists 100 contributing solutions to climate change. I'm going to go read it again, but the gist is that there are no silver bullets.

Two things that were campaign and earlier year promises we've yet to see.. planting 3 billion trees, and ending fossil fuel subsidies.. those still haven't happened.

Yep, I agree. No silver bullet, and funding fossil fuels makes no sense (although part of me understand they want to avoid a situation such as in France, where it could could price hikes, inflation, and the population is not ready for it.. carbon taxes make more sense)
