Europe has largely abandoned or scaled back aggressive Net Zero policies, while Canada remains one of the last major countries still fully committed.

That Europe energy clip is blowing up because a lot of people see it as a quiet admission that some of these green policies hit regular people way harder than politicians expected.

Meanwhile people in Canada are already complaining about heating bills, gas prices, rent, groceries, all of it piling up at once, so the reactions are getting pretty heated. A lot of the comments are basically saying politicians keep talking about long term goals while regular families are just trying to survive month to month.

The facts:

  • Multiple European countries (Germany, UK, France, Netherlands, etc.) have quietly walked back hard deadlines on coal phase-outs, delayed EV mandates, extended nuclear plant lifespans, and relaxed green regulations due to skyrocketing energy costs and industrial decline.
  • The EU as a whole has not officially scrapped its 2050 climate neutrality goal, but implementation has become much more pragmatic and slower.
  • Canada, under the current government and with Mark Carney’s influence, is still pushing aggressive carbon taxes, EV mandates, and Net Zero targets despite very high energy costs and economic strain.
