The government\u0027s decision to forge ahead with higher immigration and restrictive energy regulation may end in an electoral Valley of Death.
It isn’t just housing affordability that’s at stake. Our stressed health care system, already overwhelmed, can’t handle a deluge of new patients. Roads and highways will choke unless new transportation is built — though not light rail of the kind that has been such a disaster in Ottawa. Provinces will need to pour more money into schools as student populations grow.
The new clean energy regulations are another example of a badly executed plan. They propose to effectively phase-out fossil-fuel electricity by 2035, despite its being a reliable and cheap source of back-up supply for wind and solar energy, which in their very nature are not reliable. The emission-intensity standard that is proposed for plants producing more than 25 megawatts is only six per cent of the emission level of a current median-sized gas plant.

Canada PM Trudeau says Trans Mountain investment remains solidCanadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said on Wednesday he was confident the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion was a solid investment and that interest is high among Indigenous groups who want to buy a share of the pipeline. The Trans Mountain Expansion (TMX) is expected to nearly triple the flow of crude from Alberta's oil sands to Burnaby, British Columbia, and is intended to unlock Asian markets for Canadian oil, which is now mostly exported to the United States. The Canadian government bought the pipeline for C$4.5 billion ($3.3 billion) in 2018 to make sure the project was completed after it ran into challenges, including opposition from Indigenous peoples and environmentalists.
