Matt Gurney: For the overwhelming majority of Canadians, climate change is not their top concern and that's why it's still missing from the Conservative election plan.
This may put me offside with some of my learned columnist colleagues, but I’m not convinced Andrew Scheer has to do anything more on the issue of climate change than say, “It is bad, and we’ll find a way to do our part.”
But will it actually work? Is climate change an issue Canadians care enough about to decide an election on? Colour me unconvinced that an aggressive position on climate change is going to be Andrew Scheer’s path to power. And that’s absolutely fascinating. If the worst-case scenarios regarding climate change are accurate, we’re talking an existential threat to the human race. Four-fifths of Canadians are dialed in on this issue. But only 12 per cent rank it as their top priority.
