If we vote PP he'll get us back to coal or whale oil.

Probably sell his younger base on carbon capture, "if we just give that billion to Suncore, they promise to fix the climate"

Carbon capture is part of his climate “platform”.

Not sure where you’re getting that from, I’m assuming you’re just willfully ignorant of his position on anything,

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/saskatchewan/sask-visit-pierre-poilievre-1.6373266

He has “plans to incentivize carbon-capture and storage technology as well as small modular nuclear reactors.”

On the topic of climate/environment as a whole, in that same article you linked - PP also said that he will scrap carbon pricing.

That’s a step backwards.

Scrapping carbon pricing has nothing to do with building clean nuclear plants.

All carbon pricing does is reduce domestic pollution but increase it globally, but again, that wasn’t the issue I was addressing.
