I am confused.
The federal Liberal government wants Canada to reduce emissions and has unveiled its new emissions-reduction plan to reach its new greenhouse-gas targets by 2030. It projects the oil and gas industry needs to cut emissions 42 per cent from current levels if Canada is to meet its new goals.
The same Liberal government just approved the massive Bay du Nord offshore oil and gas development. The Liberal Premier of Newfoundland and Labrador stated that it will “play a key role in supporting our government’s commitment to Net Zero by 2050.”
Read that again. You get to Net Zero by building an offshore oil development? Makes total sense to me. #sarcasm
So what is it? Oil bad? Oil Good? Or is this just pandering to the Liberal-held East while continuing to demonize the resource-rich, Conservative-held West?
Maybe our local MP can explain this flip flop.
