NP says Suncor, others hear Scheer misses opportunity

The National Post reports in its Thursday, June 20, edition that it should come as no surprise that the new Conservative climate plan is a Potemkin village of a policy, designed to give the impression of solidity to a fake, precarious construction. The Post's John Ivison writes that Andrew Scheer is giving voters what they want, which is expressions of concern about climate change, without the imposition of any financial pain. The Conservative plan disparages the Liberal carbon tax, which, in the absence of other efforts to curb emissions, will need to rise to $102 per tonne to hit the Paris target, according to the Parliamentary Budget Officer. The aim is to invest in green technology by levying payment from large emitters which exceed a "Green Investment Standard." The Post says Mr. Scheer should be commended for sticking with Paris. He should be applauded for stating unequivocally that climate change is real. Mr. Scheer could have offered a bold vision of a new conservatism, rooted in the desire to preserve and protect the environment. As the philosophical founder of modern conservatism, Edmund Burke, once said: "Nobody made a greater mistake than he who did nothing because he could only do a little."
