Two of the main players in the Conservative leadership race have pitched plans to approve more Canadian energy products while backing away from the Liberals' strategy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

He said his plan would meet and eventually exceed a 30 per cent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by the end of the decade. This is in line with the Liberals' former target.that it says would see it dramatically curb emissions to 40 to 45 per cent below 2005 levels by 2030.Poilievre has built political rallies around his promise to kill the carbon tax. Asked today about setting emissions targets, he said his environmental plan will be released "well before the next election.

"The reality is we have just eight years to reduce emissions and we have never meaningfully reduced emissions in Canada," he said. While Poilievre repeatedly referred to Canadian energy as "clean," one academic said that description is "wildly inaccurate" right now. "I will approve all of the projects that prove to be safe for the environment, after consultations with our First Nations, that generate paycheques for our people and displace dirty energy from foreign dictatorships," Poilievre said.The project was rejectedPoilievre said he would try to change the province's mind about the $14 billion plant and wharf project. The project also would have included a pipeline that would move Western gas across Ontario and through Quebec.

He also said he aims to increase the production of LNG and hydrogen to help Europe and Asia transition away from coal and Russian gas.

Are they really trying to woo voters by speeding up the killing of the planet and leaving a barren wasteland to future generations? Yeah, okay; that’ll work. Another Con job.

Go Pierre you got my vote based on how you listen to the people of Canada and will return our God-given rights from the Tyrant Trudeau. Charest is a Liberal in Conservative clothing as Fake as CBC news

Breaking. cbc follows the Trudeau target 🎯

Good. We need to use our own natural resources and stop shipping tax payers money over seas. If you think we can just quit using petroleum products you are fooling yourself.

Reaffirms that Cons are going nowhere. Still the Dinosaur Party

Pick your poison

Charest looks like a grandmother.

And they are both such Alpha males. Lol

Poilievre doesn’t have a plan to reduce Canada’s GHG emissions. Frankly I am more concerned about his populist rhetoric than about his lack of a plan for GHG emissions

Dangerous for our children's future.

Energy is life to anti energy is to be anti life.

HAHAHAHAHA

Pierre is the next. PM 🇨🇦🇨🇦💪💪

Don’t stress! These guys aren’t going to be PM!

You mean the Liberal targets that they, the Liberals, have never met? Those targets? Couldn’t we just interpret this to mean Conservatives are just being honest about it, instead of setting a target just to fake it?

So if we pay more the climate will stop Changing, makes sense 😂

So we still need fossil fuel and will need it for years to come! We have some on our own land but have decided that importing it on big ships from all over the world is better for the climate? Not to mention…Oil that pays for corruption and wars? 🤯

The CBC should really be spending much more time learning from this guy.

Nice to see some politicians understanding the value of Canadian energy products and not naively vilifying them. The world needs Canadian energy as we transition to a greener future.

Good call… who needs an inhabitable olanet, anyway?

CONFIRMING, at least in my thoughts, that the CPC are, indeed climate deniers. And given “other” deniers’ patterns of behaviour, they too will repudiate every one of their “leadership platform promises”… 🤯

Restricting freedom of speech is stupid! People have a place in society.🗣😉

Charest is nothing but a liberal. Always has been.

They need to go against every single stupid idea that is in Trudeau's head!

Poilievre has those Kanye West cheeks goin

the CPC doesn't give a shit about the environment. The conservative motto: Lie, Cheat, Bully, Repeat.

No future for your children with the CPC_HQ regardless who is running it. I'd prefer someone other than Pierre, who is always is claiming. 'The sky is falling' and moving his lips only to have lies spewed out. NeverVoteForPierreP

They’ll NEVER get my vote as long as I live.

My racist bigoted anti immigrant neighbour Jerry loves PierrePoilievre

PennyPo54201061 Conservatives keep showing us who they are and what they stand for (and what they don’t stand for). When will people realize that Cons don’t have their best interests at heart?

There is only 1 player and he's ready.

Race to the bottom

Their real age doesn't matter. Their ideas are old and out-of-date. So typical of the Tories.

Not sure I've a dog in the Conservative race between right wing business interest vs far right wing lunatic business interests. or Centre-Right Liberal status quo evil.

The guy on the left is clueless, the guy on the right is hopeless.

I'd be more inclined to call your reporting unbiased, than to call Charest a main player in the Conservative leadership race.

Another smear piece from the Liberals propaganda outlet. Pierre will defund the CBC and for that he has my vote.

Cowardice! Canadians need leaders who have the courage to address climate change!

CPC_HQ won't get my vote in the next election!! cdnpoli

Omg... zero credibility 🥱

Anti-hate group calls for regulator to police social media platforms | CBC NewsThe federal government should appoint a regulator with the power to force social media companies to disclose information to help fight far-right extremism, an anti-hate group told MPs Tuesday. Too late it already exists. Social media bans all 'hate groups' Right wingers form their own groups on other platforms. Now the government has to find and monitor thousands of conservative chats. This is how you know your not dealing with smart people. 'A threat to our democracy' in Canada, just means a threat to the current media narrative. Am I wrong?...
