There is a reason both she and the federal party are backpedalling today.
And Rempels response which is appropriate in every way:
Beyond that though, I am curious as to what it is the NDP would do to cut emissions (read; a climate change accountability system of some kind). Also curious as to who it is that sets the emission "targets". I suspect it will be the old cap and trade, which has proven to make a lot of money for governments but does little if anything to cut emissions.
All the while there will be thousands and thousands of jobs lost throwing the entire country into a deep recession and costing taxpayers even more in supporting the social safety net needed to help those who wont be drawing paychecks.

All fair and good but it just annoys me that when a political figure suggests ANY kind climate change strategy or environmental regulations the right jumps on them like hyenas and takes it to the extreme. It is possible to balance the environment with sustainable development.
