Wall Wants It Both Ways on #carbontax

The Premier says Saskatchewan doesn’t make a difference in world pollution because of our small population, despite our world-record pollution rate when measured on a per-capita basis. Then he argues to keep Canadian money from going to where in the world it will make the biggest difference in reducing emissions immediately. A journalist asked him why he wants to do that, he’s not the “Premier of the World”, so why not do what he can in Saskatchewan instead? He thinks Saskatchewan has the best chance to succeed in finding solutions for other jurisdictions. I think that’s a stretch since he hasn’t found or implemented a solution for little-old Saskatchewan. He’ll pump up nuclear and CCS, both of which are losing the race to renewables.

So Brad Wall wants an environmental assessment on a carbon tax before we move forward? Where was that due diligence for Husky? Awkward… pic.twitter.com/lPDNDDuhrA

Calling for 375 Mt of credit for uranium exports opens a Pandora's box of global GHG accounting. Canada not likely to come out ahead #skpoli pic.twitter.com/LZ2kOFH99G
