The province whose entire economy depends upon the continued growth of the consumption of fossil fuels has issues with regulations that reduce the impact of fossil fuels on the planet?! Shocking I say! Flabbergasted even!
Indeed. It’s also the province with the most to lose with climate change (likely desertification, they can barely keep their soil as it is), and a province with enough wind and scorchingly sunny days to be the Saudi Arabia of wind and solar. But yeah, they manage that potential well by doubling down on an economy based on oil alone. It makes cow-towing to lobbyists easy if there is only the one major one.

That’s not fair, the only reason their entire economy is oil is because of the conservative governments
