Ottawa is banking on a suite of new subsidies to uncork billions of dollars in private sector spending, Tuesday’s federal budget revealed.

OTTAWA—The federal government is banking on a suite of new subsidies to uncork billions of dollars in private sector spending so Canada doesn’t lose out to the United States in the race to cash in on the global drive to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

“Abated” natural gas-fired electricity – which includes some technology to offset the greenhouse gas emissions it creates – will also be eligible, the budget says. And provincial utilities can apply just as well as private companies. Environmentalists and opposition parties, including the New Democrats who are propping up the Liberal minority government, criticized this credit as a questionable subsidy to fossil fuel companies when it was introduced in last year’s budget, at an expected cost of $2.6 billion over five years.

Leading scientists studying climate change with the United Nations have warned time is running out to aggressively reduce global emissions to avoid the worst extremes of climate change in the coming decades.

Canada is already in danger and has been for the last 8 years with PM Blackface in power!

Biden's visit an 'authentic' expression of Canada's importance to U.S.: ambssadorThe federal Liberals aren't the only ones declaring U.S. President Joe Biden's visit to Ottawa a triumph for Canada-U.S. relations: Washington's envoy, too, described it Friday as an 'overarching success.' Are we really celebrating the arrival of a certified dementia patient whose failed policies are dictated by a crop of clueless bureaucrats surrounding him? The West is doomed with these people in charge, and CTV celebrates it because they are paid to. 2 western leaders that get money from China. Ya I'd say so, with nearly 9000km of shared boarder
