But Althia cheered on this guy and now feels duped... again! "Under the proposed legislation, cabinet can overrule a minister who won’t approve a product because it carries unacceptable environmental risks, or who wants to outlaw a product already in use because its environmental risks are unacceptable. These moves would be done without public consultation, without considerations clearly outlined, possibly for a period of up to nine years, and would be shielded from parliamentary scrutiny. It would make cabinet ministers more likely to be lobbied by industry, while shielding the health minister from lawsuits. Cabinet could overrule a minister if a “serious detrimental infestation” occurs and a pesticide is necessary to protect national economic security, regional economic security, or food security; as well as through a much broader measure, if cabinet feels that keeping a product initially approved helps “protect national economic security, regional economic security, or national food security.” Once overruled, the health minister is barred from further reviewing the products — for a period of up to six years — even if the minister comes across new information that would normally prompt a review."

A few points on the Powering Canada Strong announcement that is important to understand; * Doubling Canada's electricity generation capacity is paramount. I just wish it wouldn't take 20+ years. We don't generate enough electricity to be self-sufficient or participate in future industries. We have no choice. Has to be done. It's something I called for a while and spoke on. * Linking the connectivity of Canada's fragmented grid. This is a must to increase productivity, and remove waste. It's a one step back for two steps forward type of investment. * the connection and expansion of the grid is one of the important things we need to do reach mining areas and develop these sectors and for the growth of smaller communities around. The problem with these whole announcement is that it is all net zero based which means it won't necessarily build the most reliable possible grid for the $ and will other ridiculous costs to be carbon tax trading based on the way. It's completely inefficient from capital planning point. Mark Carney says: It will require the spreading of costs over time using our AAA balance sheet so that ratepayers don't pay all of the costs of investments today. That means the government is planning to borrow MASSIVELY! That cost will appear not only in your electricity bill but also in the value of the CAD and interest costs that is already hitting record every single year. This plan is utilizing legitimate needed action to transform all of Canada's energy need into ideological driven carbon tax trade system and inefficient power generation that all together will cost Canadian taxpayers hundreds of billions more than it should.
