It’s not as bad as I’d expected. Some good things in there. The outcome that’s promised is that it will be “at least as effective” as what we have now, so at least it’s believable.
Yeah, the liberals have had a reasonably ambitious climate plan under Trudeau. I think Carney is mostly just going to scrap the politically challenging stuff and redress the rest in a more politically palatable way. That’s what it looks like to me anyways.
The Trudeau government has done fuck all compared to what would be appropriate over the past 9 years, and Carney might accomplish almost as little. But at least maybe we’d get some marginally better electric car charging facilities and other such goodies out of it, and he seems to understand that you can’t have a price on carbon high enough to be effective without some kind of international mechanism to compensate for the effects on trade.
