Trudeau, who campaigned on a platform to tackle climate change, believes the 2021 budget should have an ambitious environmental element to start weaning the heavily oil-dependent economy off fossil fuels and has recently hired former Bank of England governor Mark Carney as an informal adviser, aides say.

Environment Minister Jonathan Wilkinson along with Infrastructure Minister Catherine McKenna, who is a former environment minister, have met with top civil servants to discuss options that could involve billions of dollars in extra spending, said one of the three sources familiar with the matter. Heritage Minister Steven Guilbeault, a life-long green activist, also attended the meetings.

Possible budget measures range from investments to help provinces reduce their carbon footprint, boosting research into clean technology and encouraging the construction of efficient buildings.

LiveSquawk Plant article. Both just looking for cover so Trudeau can dump Morneau over the WE fraud, just like SC Lavalin.

I think even though we have a high deficit the Liberals need to do something for the environment, that's the main reason they were voted in by the youth mainly. We need something to show the future generation that they matter, that the planet that is left for them matters.

Plenty of money for wars but none for the enviroment. Hypocrite.

A lesson for 🇺🇸.

This racist Trudeau is a disaster

JJ_McCullough Sounds like he could be a reasonable tory. Until now i assumed he was the sort of finance guy only a big L liberal could like. Maybe they were pushing him all along?

JJ_McCullough How did the green economy workout for Ontario? What is Canada’s carbon footprint? JustinTrudeau will keep chasing butterflies and unicorns. However, this time he will dig such a big hole from which Canada won’t be able to climb out of. Geez.

They are not fighting!!! It’s a set up. They both have their hands in the cookie jar... going to try to save narcissist Trudeau

rexglacer Smokescreen story designed to take the heat off of the WE scandal. Liberals are crooks.

rexglacer More Bullshit Media cover up for WE Scandal

Allowing Morneau to resign over “policy differences.” What a joke these two are.

JJ_McCullough Except for some minor wind exceptions Canada is just not suitable for green energy. It would be better to hard wire into Americas Shale infrastructure to get access to our Nat. Gas. Which is one of the cleanest of the green energys.

Lies, you're being fed lies direct from the prime ministers office to deflect from him forcing out Morneau over the WE controversy when he himself is in even deeper.

Convenient. Gives Trudeau an out to get rid of Morneau while still covering up the WE scandal...

I don’t believe this crap.

Nobody will be sorry to see Morneau go. He is utterly replaceable and Trudeau can name his replacement any time he chooses.

All I can say is I wish our politics were so normal.
