Federal emissions cap will be extremely detrimental to Alberta

[blackbird]

Alberta should really consider what they can do about this.

The Trudeau government is giving Quebec and Ontario 33 billion dollars for battery plants while planning to impose emission caps on the energy industry which will mostly affect Alberta.

"One independent study has placed the loss of investment in Alberta alone at $28 billion and the independent Conference Board of Canada estimates that over the next 25 years, the Liberals’ “green” regulations could lead to up to 150,000 job losses, mostly in Alberta."    EVs are extremely expensive especially in the high cost of living environment we are in.  Decimating the energy industry will further push up the price of gas.

I am not sure confederation as it stands is really the best arrangement for the people of western Canada in this scenario.  Should we in the west be thinking of a different arrangement?

Yeah I'm pretty sure that was the government's point. I mean they've long since given up pretending they're on Alberta's side, or the rest of Canada's for that matter
