Five years ago, when Prime Minister Justin Trudeau told Canadians he wanted to “phase out the oil sands” a lot of people, Liberals included, said he made a gaffe. But it’s clear today he didn’t misspeak and is instead trying to make good on his promise.
The Trudeau government’s incoming “Just Transition” bill has a lot of Canadians talking. While the government claims they plan on helping oil and gas workers transition to greener jobs, some politicians, such as Alberta Premier Danielle Smith, believe this type of legislation will lead to the end of Alberta’s oil and gas sector.
Instead of letting Canadians adjust to new and greener technologies on their own, time and time again the Trudeau government has shown that they would rather force and bully Canadians into being more green.
