I wouldn’t expect a lot of detail simply because he’ll likely be running in the federal election and would want to announce his major planks during that instead.

Investments towards energy efficient buildings, electrified transportation, and more.
Meaninglessly vague without details.
I imagine grants for adding geo heat pumps for new buildings; insulating old ones such as adding insulating layers to the facades your typical brick-clad multi-storey buildings; boiler-to-heatpump conversions for such; grants for electrification of rail and public transit. There’s just so much low hanging fruit that can be picked with the right subsidies, but you’re right, it’s all innuendo till details prove it.

Meaninglessly vague without details.

Agreed, skeptical till proven otherwise, while keeping with the goal of preventing PMPP.
There is lots more detail in the full news release link at the bottom of the page. It’s going a bit over my head right now though.

It’s honestly pretty par for the course for LPC. There’s a reason why the only thing keeping the LPC in power has been fear of the CPC.
