“It’s easy for [Trudeau] to get to walk in parades or to make
announcements with no details,but our plan allows Canada to export more
of what we can produce here at a lower rate of emissions.”
Scheer says regardless of protests, the Conservative’s climate plan will be effective.
But an Edmonton political scientist disagrees.

do enough to meet emission targets – a fact that could turn some
protestors to an alternative option this October.

Website breaking down climate platforms in advance of election
One online site is helping Canadians nagivate the promises of federal political parties as they relate to the environment.
EnviroVote Canada is a project developed in part by Isabelle Hurley, a Dalhousie graduate student in the biology department.
“Normally [people] would have to open multiple tabs on their computer
and try and read through these jargon-filled platforms. Instead we’ve
done all of that work for you,” Hurley tells NEWS 95.7’s The Todd
Veinotte Show.
The website, EnviroVote.ca, breaks down the four major parties’ standings on 25 key issues.
