Climate change is real and we need to do our part, despite being a bit player. Theres enormous potential in Alberta for new tech, energy efficiency, engineering etc. But now we are gonna offload tax funds to Ottawa and remove any economic incentives to lower carbon emissions. Pretty damn disappointing.

It's difficult to do our part when we compete in a global economy and other countries don't have the same overhead costs.
Given their stance used to be redirect the carbon levy to reduce the debt, I'm not sure if this new stance will result in additional votes, or makes them appear wishy-washy and turn people off .
