Federal government releases ‘just transition’ plan to shift to clean energy economy

The Liberal government’s long-promised plan to transition Canada’s labour force to respond to climate change says a clean energy economy will not prompt massive unemployment in the country’s energy towns.

It says if Canada plays its cards right, the clean energy economy will create so many jobs there may not be enough workers to fill them.The plan has become a political lightning rod for the federal Liberals in the face of heavy criticism from Alberta Premier Danielle Smith that the goal is to shut down the oil and gas industry.

Hmmmm sounds like when the NDP (in Alberta) shut down the coal for power generation and how has that worked for the Communities effected - “just transition” - maybe those Communities should be asked (just a thought IMO)

Tell that to all the coal mining towns that are deserted across Canada.

Four times in the first half hour was the anti-NDP commercial. Could you spread it out just a smidgen?

This 'Liberal' government?

The plan has no specifics because the Liberals have no idea how to do it without bankrupting this country. Oil and gas will have a role for decades to come and anyone that can’t see that is blind to the facts

Poilievre backs Alberta’s concerns over federal ‘just transition’ legislation | Globalnews.caThe 'just transition' legislation is aimed at helping Canadian workers adapt to the global move toward increasing reliance on renewable energy instead of fossil fuels. I wonder if Global does. What’s the big deal if he backs her? Albertans are voicing their discontent towards Ottawa’s attack on oil and gas long before Danielle or Poillievre. Ottawa policy against energy is illogical and to some extent an attack on national security. Unfortunately Trudeau can’t see this He is CPC/UCP. His base is ALBERTA. Of course he backs Smith.
