Justin Trudeau on the attack against Pierre Poilievre’s ‘irresponsible’ politics:

“Now is not the time for politicians to exploit fears and to pit
people one against the other,” Trudeau said, surrounded by more than 150
Liberal MPs.

“Buzzwords, dog whistles and careless attacks don’t add up to a plan
for Canadians. Attacking the institutions that make our society fair,
safe and free is not responsible leadership.”

During the leadership campaign, Poilievre went after the Bank of
Canada, accusing it of shirking its responsibility and allowing itself
to be an “ATM” for Trudeau’s spending habit. He also said that if he
became prime minister, he would fire Bank of Canada governor Tiff
Macklem.

Last winter, Poilievre professed to be a student of cryptocurrencies
and advised Canadians that investing in Bitcoin could allow them to “opt
out” of inflation.

“Telling people they can opt out of inflation by investing their
savings in volatile cryptocurrencies is not responsible leadership. By
the way, anyone who followed that advice would have seen their life
savings destroyed,” Trudeau said in his speech.

A Summer of Disasters and Disinformation:

The scenes
are simply devastating. Catastrophic flooding in Pakistan has killed
more than 1,100 people and destroyed millions of acres of crops. One
third of the country stands underwater following a monster monsoon ten times heavier than usual. More than 6.4 million need aid.

Pakistan’s misery is just the latest climate disaster in a year that has seen record heatwaves, drought, storms and wildfires
around the world. This is what our changing climate has in store for
more and more people as the atmosphere heats up. Yet still there are
those seeking to delay action.

This is nothing new. Decades of denialism
by the fossil fuel industry have left their mark on a die-hard minority
of climate change deniers. Aggressive efforts to sow doubt have eroded
trust in climate science, and even facts in general. COVID showed us just how scarily widespread this is.

Alberta’s blessing, Alberta’s curse | The Narwhal:

When Alberta’s interim finance minister Jason Nixon stood before reporters
on Aug. 31 to unveil the province is anticipating a whopping $13.2
billion surplus, he argued the government was moving away from the
spending temptations of massive oil and gas revenues.

The government, he said, would pay down
the maximum amount of debt it could, $13.4 billion in total, and resist
the urge to go on a spending spree like governments past.

But the decision not to invest any of the extra cash
in building a way forward for the province represents a sort of
petro-nostalgia — the inability of the Kenney government to envision a
future that could lead to long-term stability for Alberta when the
industry withers.

SAINT ANDREWS, N.B. — The federal Liberals say they are determined to
