Canada appears poised to rack up a climate-change win, says a recent government report submitted to the United Nations.

The federal report filed last month says Canada is on track to meet one of its crucial climate-change commitments -- generating at least 90 per cent of non-industrial electricity from emissions-free sources by 2030.

The report projects that by 2030, about 536 terrawatts of electricity will come from hydro, nuclear and renewable generation. It predicts only 55 terrawatts will be produced from fossil fuels. "We've knocked almost 100 megatonnes off our target," Sawyer said. "It's a very significant reduction since 2005."

Diane Francis: Canada doesn’t need a UN seat. It needs a PM focused on issues at homeOttawa should concentrate on fixing what Trudeau has damaged at home. How about championing and growing our resource industries? I agree. Trudeau just likes to globetrot at taxpayers’ expense giving away millions of dollars in a futile attempt for a security council seat in UN while we have urgent matters at home. That is not leadership but avoidance of it. 100%. Help Alberta & our suffering, ethical energy industry. Trudeau is the ultimate egoist (akin to Trump) pursuing self-serving limelight at the U.N.
