Greens-Climate Change

Elizabeth May says her climate plan is the only one that will — quote — “allow human civilization to survive.” The Green party leader says saving the world from climate change requires Canada to get off oil before the middle of the century, and she’s urging Canada to stop burning foreign oil in the interim. Making Canada energy independent is also part of the Conservative party platform, but Leader Andrew Scheer’s proposal would see the expansion of oil production in Alberta. Meantime, May will no longer be the lone member of her party in the House of Commons. The country’s second-elected federal Green member, Paul Manly, will be sworn Monday as the M-P for B-C’s Nanaimo-Ladysmith riding.
