This was a fantastic speech, made by a true statesman who understands Canadian politics and economy, who admits all issues we face won’t be fixed immediately and plans for pitfalls while staying focused on moving our country forward, who recognizes the political power and challenges posed by the new world order, and who above all else doesn’t back down from doing what’s right.
So more nuclear power, hydroelectric dams, mining of strategic minerals, exporting natural gas to India and broader Asia, and planting trees is paid for by? A new tax that replaces the axed carbon tax? That stuff ain’t free.
