Enbridge sells natural gas. Now Canada’s put it in charge of a program meant to help wean Canadians off the stuff.

The federal government has struggled to implement strong and effective measures to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions that are driving climate change while maintaining a large oil and gas sector that employs more than 400,000 people and contributes more than $100 billion annually to the economy.

“Co-delivery provides the opportunity for Enbridge Gas and NRCan to drive stronger program results more cost effectively for Ontario energy consumers than could be achieved without a co-ordinated approach,” said Keean Nembhard, a spokesperson for Natural Resources Minister Jonathan Wilkinson. The new combined grant program provides more money for renovations and will make it easier for homeowners to cut their carbon emissions and save on their energy bills, says Elson. That is thanks to the OEB, which last month approved the NRCan-Enbridge deal, but overturned several conditions Enbridge had placed on the subsidies.

Yes, when all the greenies convert to electricity, the next ice storm in those regions will be quite successful to their solution of conversion to electricity only! I’m waiting to watch this out!

Natural gas is legitimately our best option for heating right now lol...

Lol classic

Hydro does this too, selling upgrades to insulation, windows and lightbulbs, making work for contractors.

That analogy apply to MSM in any way?

Trudeau's Canada, where they try to get you to switch from clean natural gas to just euthanizing yourself instead.

There is no viable option to replace a. 98% efficient gas furnace in my home. Nothing even close. Big program to replace something that has zero options. Nonsense.

JustinTrudeau you never ever leave it the culprits to assess themselves...never

This is the stupidest thing a government could do to stop global warming. It’s pushing us all to wood stoves. Wood stoves…worse then using coal. Electric heat doesn’t work in most of the country and is $$$ as well. Leftists wreck everything.

Toronto red star Could you hurry up and go bankrupt already

Grants, this, that...then raise the prices. Let's get real - nothing stiffles demand better than price. Everything else is just window dressing.
