Moving Ahead

The following statement from the Pembina Institute is a good directive re our climate crisis and the results of our recent election - a minority Liberal government

“The new government will need to lead a national conversation about changes in the global energy system that project a declining oil demand. The impacts of disruptive technologies and decarbonizing global markets are being felt directly in oil-producing provinces like Alberta. Now that the election is over we need to trade polarized rhetoric for a plan that acknowledges the changing role for oil and gas and maps out a realistic future for workers who want meaningful careers during this time of upheaval.

“This is an all-hands-on-deck situation. All sectors —  transportation, buildings, and oil and gas — need to do their fair share to reduce emissions. The climate crisis is urgent, and we look forward to working with all parties to ensure Canada’s Paris Agreement targets and the commitment to decarbonize by 2050 are met.”
