Public-opinion research conducted on behalf of the Privy Council Office showed that most participants in the spring survey were "doubtful" Canada would reach its targets, with the rest "uncertain, or hopeful but not optimistic."
Among the reasons people gave for believing Canada would fall short were the cost to the economy to do so, including job losses in sectors like oil and gas, and "political will." Under the Paris climate-change agreement, the Trudeau Liberals agreed to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions to a level 30 per cent below what they were in 2005 and to do it by 2030.
The polling report, delivered in mid-August and made public in recent days, suggested that participants wanted the government to at least try to meet the 2030 target even if efforts were doomed. Last week, the Liberals said Canada's emissions are forecast to be 227 million tonnes below what was projected in 2015, which is not enough to meet the target Canada committed to under the Paris pact.
As China builds a 100 new coal fired plants!
^ climate agenda
Import a million people per year and expect emissions to decrease?
Quit with the climate scam reporting, ctv should be embarrassed with all the fake news they put out.
we are minor blip on the greater scheme of things compared to china and india for example... yet we pay for me? unless someone can clear this up for me
The only thing Canada is going to hit is a new ceiling on deficit debt thanks to hapless incompetent Trudeau.
Doubtful, yeah right. It's not gonna happen. Nowhere even close to the target. What it all boils down to with climate change, is our economy depends heavily on the very thing that is believed to be the problem to begin with.
Sorry for being winter let's just all stop heating our homes for 6 months. Comon
'doubtful' Canada would reach its targets on our finances too
Did the study show how many Canadians care about hitting the useless targets?
More good old climate scam propaganda courtesy of the liberal_party news team
When China and India hits theres first then the world can start theirs
The federal report fails to mention Canadians like using heavily filtered photos of steam as a stand-in for (oil) pollution in their climate alarmism psychological operations.
Canada emits approx. 1.6 % of all global emissions, so whether we hit the target or not is a moot point.
We'll hit those targets if I have to idle my truck in the driveway till new years day! C'mon people, we can do it!
Maybe its time you started showing pictures of Quebec's industrial sector. Thanks to trudeau's artificial boosting of the Quebec's economy, they are emitting a lot more CO2. Oh! sorry, some how it has to be Alberta's oil and gas sector. Even though, production has shrunk. Sellout
Good thing we are only 1.5% of the global GHG problem
On the plus side, not one single person has a death certificate listing cause of death as carbon emissions either during this 'global crisis'
Canada doesn't stand a chance of meeting those targets and was never intending to The agreement itself was a waste of paper and the government has done nothing but use the issue to fearmonger and manipulate Hard to take people who declare emergencies then hop on jets seriously
