Dispute over Ottawa’s Just Transition to become the top issue in Alberta election
on what the federal government variously calls the Just Transition or Sustainable Jobs strategy. Even Alberta NDP Leader Rachel Notley told reporters Wednesday the plan is “fundamentally flawed” and “cannot go ahead in its current state.”
For the Alberta UCP’s part, this odious or poorly written section is too juicy to resist attacking. Premieris even willing to use quotes that don’t exist. On Wednesday, Ms. Smith released a video where she said the briefing note made her sick to her stomach, because it’s worse than she feared. She then said, wrongly, that the document states: “Canadians thrown out of work by climate change programs can always get jobs as janitors.
Minister of Natural Resources Jonathan Wilkinson and associate minister of finance Randy Boissonnault speak often about working with and being aligned with oil sands producers on net-zero goals. But at the same time, the Prime Minister gives interviews where the shorthand is Alberta is a rogue province that needs to be reined in.
The much more consequential and longer-term debate is whether “the transition to a low-carbon economy,” as discussed in the memo, is being demanded and driven by investors around the world, or by the federal government. The answer is both.
