And as mentioned, it's not even a Liberal invention, it came from the international agreement in Paris. Anyways, given those two options I'll take just rather than leaving behind Oil and Gas workers.
Also, the smoking gun memo was something like page 68 of an 88 page report and was a giant nothingburger. But that's the sane world.
In Danielle Smith right wing culture war world it's an attack on Oil and Gas and our way of life(!) by the Eastern elites and your average Calgary Sun reader will take it hook line and sinker because it perfectly frames up "Smith fighting for Alberta"
It's as non-sensical as the Sovereignty Act but honestly, I'm afraid that it's going to work. Facts don't seem to matter anymore.

Facts like Canada is less then 2% of global emissions? Facts like China and India are currently building new coal power plants? Facts like oil demand is still increasing? Facts like there is no real alternative to fossil fuels yet? Those kind of facts? Because ya they don't seem to matter.
