I would prefer the conservative plan for the transition. Pink slip and security will escort you out.
EDITORIAL: Job fears over PM’s ‘just transition’ plan — Toronto Sun
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has been promising a “just transition” plan for workers displaced by Canada’s transformation to a so-called green energy economy, since 2019. Given that, it would be helpful for him to announce what that plan is and the enabling legislation to implement it, because...apple.news
The Conservatives in India were on to the $22.5M earmarked to create jobs in Alberta. With record oil output at high prices $22.5M is chump change from a genuine chump.
EDITORIAL: Norway model shows ‘Just Transition’ is bad policy — Edmonton Sun
If the Trudeau government were comprised of grown-ups (rather than “green” cultists), it could easily cut global emissions without imposing a devastating Just Transition on Alberta’s oil and gas industry — and especially on the hundreds of thousands of workers and families who rely on our energy...apple.news
“The transition to a low-carbon economy will have an uneven impact across sectors, occupations and regions, and create significant labour market disruptions.
GUNTER: Don't believe promises of 'well-paying jobs' from Trudeau's Just Transition plan — Edmonton Sun
If you’re an Alberta oil and gas worker, and your job disappears, don’t despair. The feds will help retrain you for an equally well-paying job in the new “green” economy.
“We expect that larger-scale transformations will take place in agriculture (about 292,000 workers; 1.5 per cent of Canada’s employment); energy (about 202,000 workers; one per cent of Canada’s employment); manufacturing (about 193,000 workers; one per cent of Canada’s employment); buildings (about 1.4 million workers; seven per cent of Canada’s employment); and transportation sectors (about 642,000 workers; three per cent of Canada’s employment).”
In response to subsequent outrage, the government said the figures merely represented the size of each workforce that will be affected, not the actual jobs that will be lost.
However, the briefing document did note that the oil and gas-producing provinces of Alberta, Saskatchewan and Newfoundland and Labrador will be disproportionately affected. (As long as Ontario and Quebec are not so perturbed, all is well.)
Pierre Trudeau’s National Energy Plan of the 1980s was a tickle under the arm compared to this. “Just transition” is a fist in the mouth.
Rex Murphy: Liberals' 'just transition' a fist to the mouth of Canada — National Post
A better name for the massive dislocation of the national economy and Canadian workers would be the 'Great Disruption'
Sitting on the molehill of a 31 per cent minority government, the Trudeau Liberals are setting about to shut down oil and gas, revamp forestry and agriculture, and let loose Niagara-sized plumes of government subsidy to every dubious “net-zero” fantasy OK’d by their favourite “consultants.”
quite a lot. And the fisheries collapsed due to gov't mismanagement from a gov't they all voted for. Fossil fuels are not 'collapsing', the gov't is deliberately shutting it down despite the fact it's very economically viable. So if the gov't wants to interfere, then it has a duty to be responsible for the consequences of it's socialist actions.
The Maritime pubs in Edmonton are long gone. The big one on Whyte Ave had the best fish and chips in western Canada. It's a shame their client base went home or to BC.
Saskatchewan is leading Canada in growth and real GDP with Alberta coming in 2nd. Sask will lead for the next 10 years. We don't need transitional handouts with unemployment rates under 5%.quite a lot. And the fisheries collapsed due to gov't mismanagement from a gov't they all voted for. Fossil fuels are not 'collapsing', the gov't is deliberately shutting it down despite the fact it's very economically viable.

LOL - and suddenly he's worried about protecting capitalism
You do realize that if the gov't, NOT market forces, is what shuts your job down for political and not economic reasons then the gov't has a DUTY to take responsibility for those actions. This isn't some industry 'collapsing' due to no longer being profitable. We HAVEN"T moved on to 'green energy' yet. In the last few months TWO of our major allies have stopped by begging us to help them with MORE of this industry.
So this is a case where the gov't is deliberately obstructing people's livelyhoods - which is a lot closer to actual socialism. As a result of their actions, the free market has been unfairly disturbed and the workers who are impacted deserve some assistance from that gov't who deliberately destroyed their jobs.
Pretty simple.
If there was any kind of worldwide demand for oil, Alberta would be doing even better.
There’s always a way to try to throttle it down like an increasing carbon tax, or Trudeau’s clean fuel standard (which is a separate carbon tax on top of the carbon tax that increases every year on April Fools Day), or bureaucratic traffic lights to hold up things indefinitely, or throwing a switch with federal legislation to just shut down entire industries or try to, etc…. Just got a hold out until mid 2025…
Of course. The asshole dropped by Saskatoon unannounced last week to try to take credit for Saskatchewan's leap into rare earth element mining and processing industry.
Trying, yes. But so far Sask has managed to avoid that. Which is why as LONG as they avoid ottawa destroying farming...
As i said, that wouldn't surprise me at all. They've been lagging a bit but now their time to severely make up lost ground and then some appears to be here - EXCEPT for alberta if Justin is allowed to have his way.
Sadly this is true. Justin is bound and determined to stop the oil industry and alberta's financial engines.
Farming? You're pretty uneducated about Sask it appears.Trying, yes. But so far Sask has managed to avoid that. Which is why as LONG as they avoid ottawa destroying farming...

Ummmmm - nothing there actually said it wasn't. This isn't going to be another one of those conversations where i have to explain everything to you again, i mean i'm basically agreeing with what you're saying and yes, algriculture IS a rather important part of your province's economy and labour force.
