Climate change has dropped in Canadians’ list of priorities this election — but that doesn’t mean climate issues are no longer relevant

It’s impossible to maintain so many competing “top priorities”
Trying to do too much and failing the execution was Trudeaus downfall, and the next PM will have even more to deal with as top priorities.
Pulling in climate issues to new trade partnerships and new housing policies is a way to keep progress towards climate goals while also keeping focused on practical issues we need to solve in the short term.
I think this is the key. While I do think that a government can juggle multiple issues at the same time successfully, the population can only pay attention to a single issue at a time. Splitting attention dilutes a party and news outlets will have trouble disseminating so many issues at once. Concentrating on just a small number means that people can get a good and slightly nuanced idea of the party’s policies making disinformation harder, accidental or purposeful.
