.maxfawcett: Danielle Smith is lying to Albertans about the ‘just transition’
If you actually bother to read it, and clearly almost nobody has, the contents are far more benign. It does not, as Bell and Anderson are claiming, suggest the jobs in Alberta’s oil and gas industry will be eliminated. Instead, it points out that they will be impacted by the global transition to lower-carbon technology, and that the federal government should prepare to help where and how it can.
And just to make sure, I reached out to a senior official in Wilkinson’s office in order to confirm my reading of this particular section — that it was describing the number of jobs impacted by the transition, not the number that would be eliminated. “We as a government do not intend to eliminate a single oil and gas job,” they said.
