More of a set of bullet points than an actual "plan."

Financial incentives, not penalties, to help consumers afford things like more energy efficient appliances, electric cars, and better home insulation.

Great - details, please. What kind of incentives, and at what stage of the buying process will they be applied?

Canada’s biggest emitters will contribute their fair share

Does this mean the existing carbon tax on industry will remain in place, or...something else?

Investments towards energy efficient buildings, electrified transportation, and more.

Meaninglessly vague without details.

Ensuring fairness for Canadian industries on the global stage, and better integrate with allies in the fight against climate change.

Word salad.

It's honestly pretty par for the course for LPC. There's a reason why the only thing keeping the LPC in power has been fear of the CPC.

Tbf he's only just started. More info should be released prior to the leadership election day on March 9.

You're right, of course - but I'm going to continue to be unimpressed until we get some actual details!

[–] avidamoeba@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 month ago

Agreed, skeptical till proven otherwise, while keeping with the goal of preventing PMPP.

I wouldn't expect a lot of detail simply because he'll likely be running in the federal election and would want to announce his major planks during that instead.

There is lots more detail in the full news release link at the bottom of the page. It's going a bit over my head right now though.

The information here is probably the details that are being looked for. I do think having both is good, and the electorate will fall asleep when only presented with the nitty-gritty, so they need the vague plans and slogans.

Investments towards energy efficient buildings, electrified transportation, and more.

Meaninglessly vague without details.

I imagine grants for adding geo heat pumps for new buildings; insulating old ones such as adding insulating layers to the facades your typical brick-clad multi-storey buildings; boiler-to-heatpump conversions for such; grants for electrification of rail and public transit. There's just so much low hanging fruit that can be picked with the right subsidies, but you're right, it's all innuendo till details prove it.
