I can’t believe that Steven Guilbeault, Federal Minister of Environment and Climate Change, had written a response to Premier Houston’s alternate proposal, before he has even received the letter containing the alternate proposal!
When trying to resolve a problem which will be a long lasting problem, and it appears that Nova Scotia has an answer which could be the leader for all other provinces, that the Federal Minister would want to at least prolong negotiations as long as he could to understand and properly reply to the Premier, on an idea that perhaps might work in other provinces.
But no, it appears that the federal government had already decided on a solution which will make the federal government look good over the long term, and the provincial government look poorly over the same time. Bad, deceptive, amateur politics in my opinion!
Each Nova Scotian has benefitted, temporarily, from the practices that caused climate change. How can we expect to rectify the problem without cost? We reap what we sow; it’s time to pay the piper, etc. We are already precariously close to the catastrophe we’ve been warned about for decades. Why put our faith in plans instead of action already taking place? Or, if plans are the sine qua non for Nova Scotians, why not focus on plans to supplement — not replace — Ottawa’s carbon tax? There’s no shortage of things to be done.
