Ford gov't climate plan not likely to meet its emissions target, AG says onpoli

Bonnie Lysyk found a number of issues with the government's “Made in Ontario” climate plan, which she said underestimated the starting point for emissions by including several green programs that were actually cancelled by the Progressive Conservatives after they came to power last year.

“Our audit concluded that the emission-reduction estimates in the plan are not based on sound evidence or sufficient detail,” the report said. “In its current early state, the plan is not likely to achieve its proposed emission-reduction target.” Ontario's plan estimates emissions reductions based on three scenarios: business as usual with no new climate policies, the current climate change plan, and if additional or enhanced policies are pursued.

The starting point of 160.9 megatonnes of emissions in 2030 if no further action is taken was too low, the auditor found, because it took into account programs that were cancelled by Ford's government, such as renewable energy contracts, electricity conservation programs, and the cap-and-trade system implemented by the previous Liberal government.

Analysis: NATO's defence budget formula is flawed — and Canada isn't going to meet its targetAnalysis: Trump is angry that a number of NATO nations haven’t met an agreement, reached five years ago, to spend 2% of their annual GDP on defence it's quality not quantity ., . . . No kidding because idiots are doing it by country size and we are the second largest country instead of population size because then countries like the US aren't spending enough either, they spend $1 trillion less than Russia per year. Russia spends 10x less than USA and formula is not flawed. It is based on % GDP. At least Bulgaria will get brand new jets and who knows maybe one day will protect Canada
