The Trudeau government continues its farcical claim Canada\u0027s greenhouse gas emissions can be cut by 40\u002D45% compared to 2005 levels by 2030.
In the latest development, federal Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault told CBC Radio’s The House that Canada’s oil and gas sector may be given more time to achieve the government’s target of reducing its emissions to at least 42% below 2005 levels by 2030.For the oil and gas sector — which generates the most emissions of any sector of the Canadian economy — to meet Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s 2030 target, it would have to reduce its annual emissions in 2019 by at least 85.
But the only way that could happen, in theory, would be to increase emission cuts for 2030 by the six other major sectors of the economy. That’s true of every target Liberal and Conservative governments have set to reduce emissions for 34 years, not one of which was ever met.
