Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau traded barbs with the leader of the Conservative Party on Wednesday, branding the opposition climate change deniers who are 'putting future white Christmases at risk.'
The spirited exchange prompted laughter from both sides of the House of Commons during question period on Wednesday, where the two politicians laid out their opposing views on climate policy.
Pierre Poilievre, the Tory leader who hopes to replace Trudeau in the next elections, fired a holiday salvo at the Liberal PM, saying that all he had to offer Canadians for Christmas was a 'carbon tax lump of coal.'
'I'm pleased to point out that we're the Government that's phasing out coal!' fired back Trudeau, adding: 'The climate denialism of the Conservative Party of Canada is putting future white Christmases at risk. And that's why on this side of the House, we stand for Christmas.'
Undaunted, a smiling Poilievre responded, saying: 'Mr. Speaker, that has to be the angriest and most caustic Christmas message I've ever seen!'
Question time is a regular feature of parliamentary systems, during which members have the chance to quiz government ministers, including the prime minister, who are obliged to respond.
On the social media platform X, Poilievre shared a clip from the exchange, calling Trudeau a 'Scrooge' for his signature carbon tax policy, which had driven costs higher for families during a period of painful inflation.
The carbon tax, a standard price per metric ton of CO2-equivalent emissions generated, is intended to discourage use of fossil fuels and accelerate a switch to clean energy.
The tax is currently set at $65 CAD per metric ton, but is set to increase over time to encourage the switch to alternative to fossil fuels.
However, the ongoing cost of living crisis has contributed to an 11-point drop...

Canada could run out of snow. Be afraid!
Why would an atheist care about Christmas?
Don’t worry about it Justy. The next up two generations aren’t into Christmases whether they are white, black, brown or green. The Millies and Zero Gs don’t believe in Christmas.
The earth would have to warm up a LOT more for Canada near the lakes to not have White Christmases. BTW, you can go farther north (e.g. Northern Alberta), get a big dump of snow, and a chinook comes and melts it all in one day. White Christmases aren’t guaranteed even now, nor even in the past.
No White Christmases in Phoenix. I do not miss them.
Assuming the Modern Warm Period lasts 4 to 6 centuries like the prior ones did, and with our Modern Warm Period already about 2 centuries old, I'm not talking about long term use of Canada's northern lands. But I could see multiple generations living there comfortably, similar to the Vikings living in Greenland during the Medieval Warm Period until that gave way to the Little Ice Age.

Since Trudeau couldn’t pass even the most simple class that I ever taught, why should I, or anyone else who is STEM capable, believe anything coming out of his science denying brain? Kiss my Obamahole, Trudeau.
But aren’t white Chrismases racist Mr. Castro?

20 years ago during a mild winter, my hometown newspaper in upstate NY decreed that snowless winters were here to stay. The next winter, the town had record snow and cold. So, the newspaper scrambled and found an “expert” who decreed, “Global warming can also lead to more snow and, yes, even more cold!”
Renewable hoax, of course!
They are certainly not in danger of running out of moose poo..
This is what stupidity looks like.
Here I am in the Toronto area denying the hoax for decades now and not feeling hit at all. Should I call Laz?
Trudeau let huge amounts of Canadian forests burn last summer filling the atmosphere with greenhouse gases and casting a smoky haze over large parts of North America.
I’m pretty sure what Trudeau said was racist.
