Green platform proposes help for energy workers displaced under aggressive climate plan GlobePolitics

This translation has been automatically generated and has not been verified for accuracy.The federal Green Party says it will provide job transition programs for workers in the oil, gas and coal sectors as part of their plan to reduce Canada’s greenhouse gas emissions by 60 cent from 2005 levels by the year 2030.

“Inevitably, jobs in fossil fuel sectors will disappear. The Green Party is committed to a 'just transition’ of workers from these sectors into new ones," the platform states."This will include measures such as income protection, jobs guarantees, retraining and resettlement,” the platform states. Details would be developed in partnership with workers and their unions.

Decarbonizing the Canadian economy would be felt most in the provinces with the highest greenhouse gas emissions – Alberta and Saskatchewan, he added. Ms. May will be going to Calgary later in the week to explain her proposals. Ms. May says the party sent its platform proposals to the Parliamentary Budget Office in June to obtain an independent assessment of the party’s fiscal estimates, but she said those figures are still not ready.

Union votes to strike at General Motors' U.S. plantsRoughly 49,000 workers at General Motors plants in the U.S. plan to go on strike just before midnight Sunday, but talks between the United Auto Workers and the automaker will resume. 👍🇨🇦 Stupid is as stupid gets. This company is bleeding money, on its way to another bankruptcy, closing plants, and dumping jobs. Yet these workers want more money and making demands the company just can't afford to give in to. Remember the TO Telegram and other closed newspapers?

Candidates defend climate plans as environment becomes top ballot issueRepresentatives from each of the major federal parties running in this year’s federal election are defending their own climate policies while criticizing their competitors as the environment shapes up to be a top issue among voters. So basically no party has any real plans to meet our Paris targets. (Except maybe the Greens). Wonderful... Yes liberal wants to profit from it, conservative dosen't think we going to be alive to worry about it, NDP don't have a clue, green party are ready to bring the economy down for it, in a nut shell we are F÷ked. Maybe Paris should clean up their act. Such bull crap.
