And (for full candour here, in part for catharsis) a counterpart to address the moral side of things, and to address common patterns in anti-green rhetoric

In case it's of interest, I just published an article on the general topic but using it as a foil to show why good policy isn't always sufficient — you have to take Sam Vimes's “Boots theory of socioeconomic unfairness” into account as well.

If I was #PrimeMinister here is how I would double electrical generation in #Canada with net zero spending
Step 1) Offer installation of solar panels and batteries with all costs born upfront by the government
Step 2) The government recoups its expenditures over time by getting 75% of the electrical savings the installed solar panels and batteries generate. Ownership of the systems transfer once costs are recouped.
Canada wins by increasing it's renewable energy production and having surplus energy available for development.
Canadians win by saving up to 25% on their power bills immediately and even more in the future (once systems are paid of)
The Government of Canada wins because they meet their international obligations (Paris Treaty) and recoup all money making the final cost net zero.
The only loser in this scenario are the foreign owned oil and gas companies, plus Danielle Smith... so really that's another win.

Electoral politics is not the only way to achieve change in society, and we will use a variety of methods, including lifestyle changes, to help effect progress, providing those methods do not conflict with our other core principles. -

The Green Party is a party of social and environmental justice, which supports a radical transformation of society for the benefit of all, and for the planet as a whole. We understand that the threats to economic, social and environmental wellbeing are part of the same problem, and recognise that solving one of these crises cannot be achieved without solving the others. -
