There’s a lot of bluster from Alberta about the federal government’s ‘just transition’ legislation and the propaganda would have us believe that it’s bad for Alberta, even though their ministry helped in its creation. Alberta claims that the best approach is making the industry cleaner. Imagine if horse and buggy owners in the twilight of the car culture had said that the solution was not to find a way to transition to cars, but to do a better job of cleaning up horse turds.
This article does a good, balanced job of explaining the situation. The important take-away is that while the industry is doing fine, it’s nowhere as robust as predicted and even the most optimistic predictions have it peaking much sooner than originally expected.
Will our government just do as it always does and react just in time, or not in time? Watch this space.
