Alberta's deputy premier booed defending NDP climate change plan to rural leaders

Quote:
EDMONTON — The Alberta government got a bit of a rough ride at a meeting with rural politicians in Edmonton.


Deputy premier Sarah Hoffman was booed as she defended the NDP’s climate-change plan, which includes a carbon tax and a phase-out of coal-fired electricity.

Hoffman said it’s necessary to address climate change because the science behind it is real and there are serious health concerns tied to burning coal.

Hoffman and other cabinet ministers fielded questions from hundreds of delegates to the fall convention of the Alberta Association of Municipal Districts and Counties.
