These are just the ones that come to mind although I am sure with a couple hours I could double the list. I am 100% on board for a cleaner climate but fact of the matter is, the climate change plan gets abused significantly and the carbon tax is ridiculous until the real problem nations do something. If we wiped out our entire carbon footprint tomorrow, the world is likely a more polluted place due to other nations with no standards increasing production/pollution to take on what we took out.

And I agree with a lot of that. I was just taking issue with her not doing anything for O&G. I truly believe she means well for the industry, and knows it is vital to Alberta. Some of her methods have been questionable, but she has gone to bat against BC and Trudeau for us.
