“I am a Canadian, free to speak without fear, free to worship in my own way, free to stand for what I think right, free to oppose what I believe wrong, or free to choose those who shall govern my country. This heritage of freedom I pledge to uphold for myself and all mankind.” ~~ John G. Diefenbaker

Canada's Energy Citizens ... Have your say on Canada’s Energy Reduction Plan


After receiving over 20,000 submissions, the federal government extended the engagement period on Canada’s 2030 Emissions Reduction Plan (ERP) by a week. It now closes at 11:59 p.m. PST on January 21st.

 

The 2030 ERP will outline how the federal government plans to meet their goal – which was recently increased – to reducing Canadian emissions by 40-45% below 2005 levels by 2030. 


 Why was Canada’s target increased?

 

Because these consultations matter. 


 In March 2021, the government ran a similar engagement to help inform their more ambitious 2030 goals. And according to the government, of the ~1,100 people who responded, over 95% supported their more ambitious direction. Later in June, these targets were enshrined into law with passing of the Canadian Net-Zero Emissions Accountability Act. 


 This your chance to have your say on the future of Canada. 


 The government portal includes 6 questions for you to provide your opinions on. We have included our reflections on the questions posed in the link above – feel free to use our thoughts to help craft your own submissions. 


 It’s hard to understate just how impactful the ERP will be to every area of our economy. In addition to implementing a cap on natural gas and oil emissions, the plan will also outline new regulations for electricity, buildings, and agriculture, among others. 


 So, thank you for taking the time out of your day to make a submission on this page in support of a stronger Canada. Your voice matters.

NDP Sits on $61 Million With No Start Date for Burnaby Hospital

Phase 2 of Burnaby Hospital redevelopment  was green lit to go ahead in September 2023 The NDP spent $45 million on the Burnaby Hospital redevelopment, cancelled the second phase, and now has another $61 million listed for the project in the province’s Public Accounts, with no start date for construction. If the NDP cancelled the project, what is happening to the $61 million set aside for it? The Phase 2 project was expected to cost between $1.7 billion and $1.8 billion and was intended to expand the hospital’s capacity. With Burnaby’s population growing and residents struggling to access healthcare, the government should be investing in healthcare capacity, not leaving millions of dollars tied up in limbo. “The NDP spent $45 million on this project before cancelling it, and now $61 million remains listed for it in the Public Accounts,” said MLA Misty Van Popta, Shadow Minister for Infrastructure. “If the government isn’t going to build the hospital expansion, it should explain whe...

BC Conservatives Point to Warning Signs in BC’s Economy

While Canada posted modest job gains in July, warning lights are still flashing in British Columbia. Youth unemployment remains stubbornly high, leaving too many first-time jobseekers shut out of the workforce. BC also lost 3,400 public administration jobs in July, likely as temporary Census positions ended. “BC's jobs divide remains stark. Unemployment is far higher in business-driven communities like Kelowna (9.3%) and Abbotsford-Mission (8.3%) than in Victoria (5.0%). Government should be focused on creating the conditions for private-sector investment and job growth,” said Gavin Dew, MLA for Kelowna-Mission and Shadow Minister for Economic Development. “We need an economy where young people can find work, businesses can hire, and every region has the opportunity to prosper.” This comes as BC faces five straight quarters where more businesses are closing than opening, an NDP cabinet rift over job-creating projects like Tilbury LNG, and fresh signs that even the province's to...
