@CTHW@mstdn.ca Govts have a bigger part to play mainly in the form of leadership, policy and legislation but we all need to do are part and make them lead (but not over the cliff).

@miki_lou@mastodon.social Legislation and grants just encourage us to do what you think is Important. We can just do it on our own. The leadership is important and pays far greater dividends when focused on encouraging/enabling markets generating more GHG's than Canada. And,yes image is important. But, pipelines add nothing to the environmental debt from Canada. Provinces like Alberta are missing the energy transition by excluding and discouraging renewables. But we can, individually, overcome that. And many are. I see as many e-vehicles in Edmonton as I did in Victoria. At one point they were 14% of total Canada sales and rising. But then, Trump. The big issue seems to be the acknowledgment that we will not meet our Paris commitments. We never were. This government just lets us know.
