OTTAWA — NDP leader Jagmeet Singh says his party will cut Canada's emissions almost in half over the next decade as he tries to stake out a claim to the climate change agenda in the looming federal election.
The pledge is one contained in an NDP motion expected today in the House of Commons that will lay out eight broad strokes of the NDP's climate change platform. The motion asks for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to declare"an environment and climate emergency" as well as pledge to cut emissions more deeply, eliminate government aid to the fossil fuel industry and cancel the planned expansion of the Trans Mountain pipeline.
"We want to reflect the urgency people are feeling," Singh said in an interview with The Canadian Press.That urgency for him means a slow end to the Canadian oil sector, which Singh says is on its way out whether Canadians like the idea or not.
Singh however insists today's motion is not an attempt to beat back Green support, which would affect both NDP and Liberal fortunes in the fall. In fact Singh insists whatever message voters were sending last week in Nanaimo-Ladysmith, it was to the governing Liberals, not the NDP, even though the NDP won the seat in 2015. The byelection was triggered when Sheila Malcolmson resigned after just three years as an MP to run provincially in British Columbia.

Socialism tends to have that effect.
Unfortunately I think that third parties need to resort to flashy promises in order to receive media coverage, and thereby votes. Later when they need to backpedal away from lofty promises they get branded as liars, and people lose trust. It's a snake eating its own tail.

Green Party win in Nanaimo by-election suggests trouble for Liberals, NDP, pollster Nik Nanos says‘It shows that the Green Party brand is on the political menu for Canadians’ he said. Bye...bye Trudeau 😂😂😂 terrific ... I guess we'll have to get used to saying 'Prime Minister Andrew Scheer' ... [gag] You will need to better define the scope of this 'trouble'. The Green party is leagues away from serious contention, it does signal that environmental policies will need to be more of a focus for the remaining groups though.
