A crisis is one thing, but a crisis that affects residents in Ottawa, or the big voter regions near Montreal or Toronto, is a problem for all Canada
Few jurisdictions make more noise about their devotion to climate purity than California, where zillionaire film moguls, pop stars and entertainment impresarios build homes the size of Texas while professing their absolute determination to have other people reduce their carbon footprint.
PG&E said in January it would be filing for bankruptcy. Gov. Newsom is asking the state legislature to protect utilities from the costs of fires, perhaps by setting up state funds to pay off homeowners for damages. He hasn’t said how much that might cost, or whether taxpayers would be on the hook, or — if so — why other California residents should hold the bag for people who build houses in fire zones or flood areas.
After touring stricken neighbourhoods near Ottawa, Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale declared: “The federal government and the provinces and municipalities need to think through very carefully how we prevent ourselves from simply doing the same old thing over and over and over again, and expecting a different result.”For years now, the war on carbon emissions has focused on a campaign to introduce a tax.
One way to do so is to dissuade people from building homes or cottages in areas that are likely to suffer when flooding gets out of hand. In the midst of Montreal’s troubles, Quebec’s Public Security Minister Geneviève Guilbault made the crushingly obvious observation that people who insist on living in danger areas shouldn’t expect the province to save them from the cost.
