Gelfand said neither Liberal nor Conservative governments have hit their own targets to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions

Canada is not on track to hit its 2030 target, despite policies like the national price on carbon that took effect this week.

She concludes that both Finance Canada and Environment Canada have defined “inefficient” so broadly they can’t decide what subsidies fall into that category.Finance Canada’s work on the subsidies focused exclusively on fiscal and economic considerations without giving any attention to the social and environmental issues at play.

Last year Canada began a peer review with Argentina that sees each investigate and report on the other’s fossil-fuel subsidies. Last week Environment Minister Catherine McKenna started a public consultation on the subsidies to aid that peer review.

What's disturbing is the scam that liberals and their news media are pushing

Blah, blah, blah, sky is falling etc. Next!

This is not good news for the PM! And of course Canadians !!!

Sounds like zog

Stop with the government propaganda. The Canadian public has had enough.

‘Fight’ is an utterly meaningless term, which only serves politicians to prepare the ground for “at least we fought” when they fail to deliver.

Canadians think fighting climate change is good, as its good for the other guy, BUT not in their back yard ! What they can lose is far more important than what they leave their kids and grand kids ! It's all about them !

Canadians have been fighting for decades Not a single one of the technologies now supported by self serving politicians is new They were all developed and popularized by previous generations who cared more about the environment than they did enriching politicians

Canada's failure to protect the rule of law disturbing.

It's also very disturbing that a legal activity such as consumption of cannabis is still demonized for 10% of workers in Canada, while the science shows ng/ml of thc metabolites have no correlation with impairment. We should have worker rights for all legal activities, not some.

Trudeau slams New Brunswick on carbon levy, questions Conservatives’ commitment to fighting climate changeThe federal pricing backstop comes into effect Monday in the four provinces that didn’t have their own carbon pricing system, including New Brunswick October can't come soon enough. Why in the world are these Liberals fixated on this? The Prime Minister and his elitist frat buddies just finished belittling and mocking the plight of the people in Grassy Narrows a far more urgent environmental issue. “Trudeau told reporters there needs to be a price on pollution”. A tax is a tax is a tax. Most products are already subject to customs and excise duties and charges, HST or a combo of taxes, import levies. Why not take funds to fuel excise taxes to fund green programs? Ugh!
