It's the same thing that happened in the states when Trump took over. During the first few months, anyone who had any semblance of morality abandoned their post, which was then quickly filled by an orange creamsicle flavored sycophant.
It always seems to me like moral performance. If you care enough, stay and, at a minimum, become sand in the gears, and, ideally, become a force for change. If you don't care enough, leave. If you leave, I assume you don't care enough and are performing if you say otherwise.
I think it's less of an aha thing and more of a "yeah things are that bad" thing. As in even liberal governments are doing nothing about climate mitigation anymore.
Leaving doesn't help ๐คฆ๐ผ it just leaves the Liberals in power to keep doing what's bothering him.

In their case, it is very likely that the orange menace would have fired them for disloyalty if they continued trying to do a competent job.
Better to leave on your own terms in that case.
But flat is different than Guilbeault's situation.
Don't you think he knows that?
He supports destroying the environment but not his brand.
"I will be leaving my post as MP to better apply my focus to fighting climate change."
"But don't you think staying in the government is more practical so you ca-"
"Shut up."
