New poll shows voters still expect a credible climate plan:
The poll, completed in May-June 2022, found that a majority (54%) of
Canadian voters say they can’t vote for a federal party that doesn’t
have a strong climate plan. On this point, young people and Quebecers
feel the most strongly: nearly two thirds (65%) of Canadian voters aged
18 to 34 agreed with this viewpoint, as did 59% of voters in Quebec.
What’s more, 70% of voters support the federal government’s goal of
achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. About the same number (69%)
support the climate measures in the government’s Emissions Reduction
Plan (ERP). The ERP includes objectives like reducing emissions 40-45%
by 2030, achieving a non-emitting electricity grid by 2035, and
implementing a 100% zero-emission sales mandate for passenger vehicles
by 2035.
