I've been reading his book and trying to understand more about what motivates him and how he sees, in particular the economy.
From what I've gathered, he is a supporter of a green economy, largely in part because European and Asian markets are shifting towards tariffing products based on their carbon impact. I think we can all agree that continuing to lean almost entirely on the USSA market is a BAD idea. We want diversity and expansion, so that leaves us Europe and Asia. If expansion to those markets requires Canada to drive toward a green economy, then Canada and particularly Alberta is going to have to face that coming reality.
This process needs to happen, and sadly Alberta has dragged it's heels for decades on this issue.
