Conservatives’ climate plan would do less, cost more, study argues | CBC News
“The plan would
result in Canada missing the Paris target of 513 Mt in 2030 by 109 Mt,
an increase of 30 Mt or 38 per cent from the current 2030 projection
from Environment and Climate Change Canada,” say the report’s authors,
David Sawyer and Seton Stiebert of Enviroeconomics.

Jason Kenney’s Dumb Inquiry | The Tyee
In truth, Canada needs a thorough and honest inquiry into foreign political funding, online manipulation and influence.
Unfortunately, the $2.5-million probe into “foreign funded defamation” of Alberta’s fossil-fuel industry announced by Alberta Premier Jason Kenney’s government last week at a news conference in Calgary isn’t it.
How could it be? It’s been established to buttress a widely criticized conspiracy theory that proved useful to the United Conservative Party’s election campaign and may yet have some utility in the efforts of Andrew Scheer and the Conservative Party of Canada to win the federal election this fall.
But as was said here when this “inquiry” was still an irresponsible election promise dreamed up by the UCP’s Rebel Media-inspired campaign team, this can be an honest inquiry, or it can be what the government has promised it will be, but it can’t be both.
Alberta’s curriculum is in the process of a
complete overhaul initiated by the previous NDP government before being
handed off to the United Conservative Party when it won the spring
election.

Given the past comments of Alberta’s Premier Jason Kenney it seems unlikely that a new curriculum will have an increased focus on climate change.
In 2017, Kenney attacked the proposed curriculum review
that was going to add focus on climate change and Indigenous history.
At the time, he said the NDP was engaging in “social engineering” in
order to impose “political correctness” on students.
