Prime Minister Justin Trudeau addresses Canadians on the COVID-19 pandemic from Rideau Cottage in Ottawa on Thursday, April 9, 2020.The federal government is quietly looking at a plan for longer-term recovery from the COVID-19 crisis even as its focus remains squarely on getting more than $100 billion in emergency economic aid out the door.
“At the same time we are laying another track so that when it’s time to begin the quote unquote cleanup and the economic and community recovery, that my team has done its work in preparing a blueprint for what steps we take next,” she said. Some of the budget’s plans are expected soon, including a massive investment to clean up abandoned oil wells in Alberta that is part of the federal strategy to find new jobs for energy workers leaving the oilpatch. Finance Minister Bill Morneau said March 18 such an investment was coming, and Alberta Premier Jason Kenney told his province last week to expect an “extraordinary” federal investment for orphan wells.
On Thursday, the Green Budget Coalition also wrote the government asking for it to ensure that the global climate emergency and biodiversity loss remain front and centre in the recovery process planning. Ralph Goodale, a former minister of public safety and finance, oversaw a number of recovery plans following smaller-scale disasters like major floods and forest fires. Still he said there will be people not needed on the front lines asked to chip in efforts for the recovery plan, which will be complex and forge some new ground.Story continues below advertisement
China’s the largest polluter, source of the pandemic, human rights violators, pays pennies to the WHO, creates world unease with military expansions, locks up Canadians... ...and we’re going to restrict Canadians economy to give China more power?
His stupidity morphs daily into new forms of asinine.
They just won't give up on this agenda.
Nobody but eco-religious nutbars gives a flying squirrels arse about climate change right now and no one I know except for 'Jurnolists on the liberal payroll' think it's a way to get the economy going again.
This isn't the time for agendas justin
How about we focus on getting ALL of Canada's industries back to a healthy and sustainable position? Why should we focus on just climate change nonsense and green tech? So damn frustrating hearing this crap over and over again.
They can F off.
When does the yellow mask movement start 🤷♂️. Canada
The Dictator
So, “they” have been touting clean energy and climate 💩 for over 1/2 a decade.... how’s it going so far Time to build and fire up some clean zero carbon nuclear ☢️ power plants .... or shut the F up!
Need more money from your golden child yellow journalists
Canada has more than enough wealth to pay our Commie virus debts. We just need to dig it out of the ground.
Oh really? I guess somebody forgot to tell the Albertans about this
Whatever he plans, be assured that it will be poorly thought out and will cost the average Canadian significant $ and will make our industries uncompetitive
You guys need to quit advocating this stupidity. Tax dollars have dried up. It’s the end. Open your eyes ffs
Awesome! Let's import more foreign clean energy products, most of which is made in China. China is already the largest producer of solar panels and we simply can't compete. Green wind turbines? Wind turbines are far from green. The composite blades already litter dumps.

Filling the gap for TorStar. Taking up Trudeau’s broken mantle.
Then be prepared to add CDN unity to the discussion
Good lord, here we go. Climate activism and gender equality to the rescue...
No, no, no. Look at what this nonsense did to Ontario's economy.

A new efficient economy based on the well-being of people would be good, and I hope music will be a part of it. MusicProducer MusicIsLife
All part of the plot to kill oil and gas
Sounds like a page from Gates playbook
Meaning, Justin is scheming to put the final nail in Alberta's coffin
My God you Millennials are going to get screwed. Good time to be a Boomer
Are you fucking joking?
Not feasible and sustainable. Until it is quit flogging it, how about spending money on health care, manufacturing goods now made in China, infrastructure, pipelines that will not make us reliant on foreign govt, refineries so we are shipping raw material
The PM has been appropriately front and centre during these times. it is interesting that we have seen or heard nothing from the Governor General.
LaurentianNews Oh ffs oilandgas
What an absolutely ridiculous premise, our resource rich Country can only rebound with home grown manufacturing and Oil & Gas. If that’s not been made abundantly clear the last three weeks, someone’s asleep at the wheel!

LaurentianNews CPC_HQ hello are you awake?
LaurentianNews Oh gee fukks sake it’s over. Dead scam walking Great Greenie Grift dying. Maybe we should do things without time and money that actually benefit society instead of lining Liberal’s pockets
LaurentianNews 🤡🤡🤡🤡
LaurentianNews Oh FFS. Countries broke handing out more subsidies for lousy horns of energy are not the answer. How about you commies out east push for Canadian oil and stop buying and supporting all the terrorists. For shame
Climate, clean tech? Why would they take centre stage!!
In other words Alberta will not be central to this the Federal economic recovery.
LMBO! If that's our economic rebound strategy, we're doomed. weTheNewNorthVenezuela
Good idea. No point in rebuilding a failing system.
Harper handed you a balanced budget and you squandered it
No more bailouts for O&G!! Use the money for sustainable forms of energy and training for workers. Not 1 dime should go to any suit in the industry, they've already robbed Alberta and its O&G workers
Welcome to Eco-communism. Govt intends a full lockdown until September 2020 min. Speech today indicated April 2022 Pure horror. Anyone still think this is about a virus?
Establish our medical industry with our allies is more important than climate change!
Judas will try and do that.
The face you make when you get pegged
How sad government would even suggest such garbage. There will be no economy if Blackface is not voted out.
What are you smoking
Nothing for the thousands out of a job in O&G though.
Mentioning cool words like 'clean tech' and 'climate' during a pandemic makes you old lesbians at Global feel horny , doesn't it? Not a single fuck is given about clean and climate right now.
