I thought all it would take to end the protests was a meeting with gov? Now it seems it will also take: -oil & gas exploration off west coast -Abolition of carbon tax -Price caps on fuel -Wider undefined cost of living supports …and as of this morning, bringing down the government

Sorry, what now? You want the carbon tax abolished and VAT and excise cut, but it transpires that you don’t actually pay your taxes. Right so.

“Air pollution fell substantially as Paris restricted car traffic and made way for parks, people-streets and bike-lanes.” Better for the climate, better for health, better for livability and quality of life. Common sense. Such a no-brainer, it’s remarkable that more cities HAVEN’T done the same.
