Prime Minister Justin Trudeau speaks during a campaign event at VeriForm Inc. in Cambridge, Ontario, on Aug. 29.Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said his government would require Canada’s oil and gas sector to set benchmarks to reduce emissions if he is re-elected.Article content
In a platform published Sunday, the Liberals pledged to force oil and gas companies to set five-year targets to cut their emissions with the aim of reaching net zero emissions by 2050. The program would begin in 2025. Part of the plan includes a C$2 billion fund to create green jobs in oil-producing regions.
The highest investment dollars right now for green technology in all of Canada is spent by oil and gas in Alberta. Fact .
In China? He fucks over working Canadians and says boo about the biggest polluter in history.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Trudeau pledged tighter Canadian Oil Company emissions rules, but not a word on billions of barrels of Foreign Oil allowed into East Canada monthly from countries with no environmental rules. Trudeau’s banned oil 🇨🇦oil tanker exports but foreign tankers OK, blocks a pipeline east
Trudeau: we need 'tighter rules' for .... CORRUPTION! Does it sound any bell?
Great ,whoever vote for liberal should get 2 dollars / litter to offset the effect on others ,retweet or. Like if you agree .
The time for Turdeau to take the “walk” is nearing…TrudeauMustGo
Hay jet air craft pore more shit in the air in one take off the 600 cars it’s time to change planes and flight planes to cut down this know how see for your self ass
You don’t got a clue clone clean up air ports jet fuels and big city’s have worse problems stay away from oil gas ass
Is he going to pledge to get rid of child labor used to obtain rare metals for all that solar and wind energy equipment?
$÷_/ your carbon scam
Stop sniffing glue
That was the result of the brainstorming session? I’m thinking that cannabis may have been used during this platform formation session, a platform that he has repeated since 2015. Memory is affected by cannabis.
Chuckle. He still thinks he's going to win the election.
👍 this change not voteing for the others is still the same old bs
maybe he should pledge for tighter undies he is looking a little flushed
Attacking the west
That means that we are definitely not going to get tighter rules for oil companies to cut emissions. Oil companies breathe a sigh of relief.
Of course JustinTrudeau liberal_party he will attack anyone & everyone if he can make a bogey man and get himself a vote. TrudeausVanityElection TrudeauWorstPMEver TrudeauMustGo
How's your tarsludge pipeline coming, Trudeau?
Are you going to tighten the rules on saudis and Venezuela’s to cut emissions on oil production for eastern Canada or do they get a free pass.
Job killer Trudeau
He knows he bought a pipeline, right?
Already the most regulated O&G sector on the planet but ok Justin. Once again Canadians pay the price for Trudeau's pandering.
5 year targets/plans were a fetish of Soviet economic planning. So of course Trudeau likes them.
JLCWood2017 We already have the tightest regulations in the world. Another nothing issue. Misfire.
Who’s going to buy us all new cars. And all our used cars will be worthless?
Why doesn't he just build a wall around Alberta and let nothing out?
So are we going to see Greta come back to canada for a week and cause a major protests like she did a few years back or was that just a one time thing that was perfectly timed?
The sooner this man fades in to obscurity the better.
I thought coal was worse than oil. If the government truly cares about global warming, why are we exporting 37 million tonnes of coal each year for other countries to burn. They should pay our carbon tax too.
Approximately Ten Thousand more days to reach Zero emissions. Good Luck!
Let’s all burn coal.
What about coal that is shipped out of Vancouver. Why not stop that.
Ah yes. Here comes the anti Alberta rhetoric. Surprising it took him this long. And on with the dividing Canadians by the liberals.
If you’re thinking of voting Liberal because you believe that Skippy’s third term couldn’t possibly be worse than the first two, think again. YES IT CAN! The conceit, sense of privilege and entitlement and, worst of all, the complete incompetence.
He just keeps hitting that sector in Canada harder and harder. Please go away!
I heard O’Toole promised free bowling shoes today?!
Not that JT is singling out the O&G industry or anything. Did he mention any other industries? Today's targets will be there to be tweaked as it suits him or any future govt politically. Our O&G industry is one of the cleanest in the world but it will never be enough for some.
Will the government continue to subsidize oil companies?
Extremism should scare everyone!
Does that include Saudi Arabia?
How come Trudeau imposes such on Canadian oil yet still buys from dictatorship countries and countries that have no emission regulations? Perhaps he and his group of goodies should take a hard look at that!!
He’s already lost the vote of any Canadian that lives farther than 10 miles from an ocean or Great Lake…nothing to lose by threatening the largest export industry in the country.
geoffreymorgan Wait, I thought this government did enough damage to Canadian oil and gas. Did not we hit rock-bottom? Is there more room for harm to be made? Vote JT out. Elxn44 polcan
The end consumer will pay for any and all costs Trudeau foists on any business. O&G, banks, insurance, etc. Economics 101. Wake up people.
6 years too late!
The oil companies that sells us the oil should pay not us. They dig it out , refine it and turn it from crude to divers gas and diesel. As well as companies that uses oil base products to make their products. Then let the buyers market decide what we really need and ready to pay
