Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has vowed to repeal a key Liberal environmental law if his party wins the next federal election to streamline approval of major projects, such as pipelines, mines, and LNG plants.
Aly Hyder Ali, oil and gas program manager at Environmental Defence, says the Impact Assessment Act (which was brought in through Bill C-69 in 2019) is one of Canada’s most essential environmental laws. It ensures thorough project evaluations before major infrastructure, like pipelines, LNG projects and mines, move forward. Repealing the act would gut federal oversight, allowing fossil fuel companies to push projects through without proper scrutiny, he warns.
“Of course, oil and gas companies would rather see their projects get rubber-stamped, than have them be properly passed,” Ali said. “It is an extremely short-sighted move that prioritizes the profits of wealthy fossil fuel and resource extraction corporations over Canada’s economic and environmental stability.”
As somebody who works in industry… I’m pro-environmental assessment law.
Any large projects should be assess appropriately to keep the public/workers safe and keep pollution down to a minimum. We are not living in the 1950s anymore.
So the question is, why does he hate Canada so much? Is that what years of opposition do to a man? Why not just take your 25 millions and fuck off to the USA already? I guess it’s not enough peepee wants more.
Oh would you look at that: mini-maga PP promotes deregulation as a “solution” to the problems caused by Trunp tariffs and the US trade war, imitating the exact policies and playbook of the US. Fuck off PP. Fuck off Trump.

When PP is faced with a decision, he pauses and asks himself, “What would MAGA do?”
He and Musk will Make Pollution Great Again.
Bring pollution home.
Retirement for the environment
And pave the way for an American takeover of Canada.
Fick you peepee.
Someone needs to Canadian Luigi him.
Heavens no. Hopefully his support continues to wane, he loses the election, and we forget all about Canada’s little PP.
Doing a great job as a far right nutbar cosplayer.
Basically mirroring Trump in every bullet point of his plan.
Is his plan project 2025?
Is this question rhetorical?
PP is out of touch…

Timbit Trump has had a terrible history as MP, I don’t want to see him as PM.
If we had proportional representation, we wouldn’t even be concerned about this kind of thing: !fairvote@lemmy.ca.
So, more polution, less protections? What a dumbass.
CANADA DOESNT NEED A SMALL pp
He doesn’t have any ideas beyond selling stuff in the ground to increasingly hostile buyers and in markets on a steady decline in face of renewables.
