And methane from cows plays a part, apparently
Federal Minister of Environment and Climate Change Steven Guilbeault accused Alberta Premier Danielle Smith of “trying to tear Canada down” with her recent video asking “Is Canada Broken?” on Jan. 10.
He concluded with “Fearmongering may be politically expedient for you, but it is selling our economy and future short.”
Ask Pipeline Online readers are aware, whenever this minister speaks of such issues, it is useful to provide his entire discourse, verbatim and unedited. Especially the part about the evils of methane from cows. So here it is, as posted on X the evening of Jan. 11, in all 10 parts:
Premier Smith, like Poilievre, your "Canada is broken” talking points are trying to tear Canada down.
Confident countries invest in their people & future
Your video serves only to spread fear & misinformation, which does no good for anyone
Let's look at the facts.

The federal government will continue with major investments to build a cleaner grid in Alberta, where natural gas would continue to have a role and you double down on cheaper renewable electricity.https://t.co/JwMX288tSSBut when will you lift the ban on renewables?

On affordability, Albertans are about to get their winter pollution pricing rebate. An Albertan family of 4 will get $1544 this year in rebates from carbon pricing, benefitting low & middle income families the most.Didn’t you just raise gas taxes?https://t.co/PQFz6bEZ3j

You attacked a recent system we put in place to reward farmers for cutting methane in beef cows, though the federal system is modelled on the Alberta system and won’t apply there. https://t.co/7tNP0GdvywDo you still think this is a bad idea?

Putting a limit on pollution from oil and gas will re-invest windfall profits back into job-creating projects on a path to carbon neutrality by 2050, a goal shared by both our governments.We should be working together on this objective, and against pollution.

On plastics: ensuring big plastic companies are accountable for plastic waste and recycle more is what Canadians want.The proposed system also takes the burden off municipalities and taxpayers. So, who are you defending with your position?

You talk about good management, and yet you pushed for this bizarre drug deal with Turkey that wasted millions of taxpayer dollars and posed serious risks to newborn babies.https://t.co/QZNAKly5kM— Steven Guilbeault (@s_guilbeault) January 12, 2024

Always happy to collaborate, but we must act with integrity and honesty.Fearmongering may be politically expedient for you, but it is selling our economy and future short.
