Point of comparison is a false equivalence (a logical fallacy). There is no comparison between an individual citizen and a government, especially when it's the governments policies that also effect the citizens availability of choices.

That's not the definition of cognitive dissonance.

We can bring up the carbon capture - which is a future project that is already facing disagreement and less likelihood of implementation due to push back from big oil (they want to maximize profits, CCS costs a lot to do) and the project has been pushed to 2040.

That's a single project, not a policy.

On the policy side, Carney has gone the opposite direction, like:

• Cutting funding to Environment and Climate Change Canada

• Passed the Building Canada Act (which is great! But we've only seen subsidies for developers so far) which exempts major projects from environmental laws

• Ended the Greener Homes loan program, which provided homeowners with up to $40,000 in zero-interest financing for green renovations (small gains but better than subsidizing already rich developers)

• Scrapped the Electric Vehicle Availability Standard, which would have required all new vehicles sold in Canada to be zero-emissions by 2035

• Cutting $5 billion for the Canada Public Transit Fund (CPTF) (which is weird because he just earmarked 4.7 billion for VIA Rail to get new trains, but that money basically goes to Canadian companies rather than municipalities where citizens would benefit more from and cut emissions).

• Weakened the Pest Control Products Act in direct opposition to Health Canada's labelling and requirements (which means that your foods will now have pesticides which Health Canada deems unsafe).

If you want a caveat, I think Carney does great for "invest in Canada". But the whole world is experiencing climate change (very much including Canada). And he's scrapping every environmental protection that put Canada at the forefront of environmental protection globally (including our own health).
