• In 2014 is when Canada was ranked 24th in the world when it came to sustainability including the environment. The
Liberals took office in 2015 as such the ranking for Canada is now 25 when it comes to sustainability. So, where are
all these improvements to the environment? There are none! All the LPC did was keep the same policies with one
exception that is imposing a carbon tax on all provinces. Yet carbon taxes have been a failure. Australia yanked the
carbon tax as they were too punitive to the economy and did nothing for global emissions -

12. LPC – ENVIRONMENT AND THE ECONOMY
• We are faced with many dilemmas when it comes to government policies. We elect politicians based on their campaign
promises. In many cases politicians fail to deliver on their promise. The Liberals for example keep telling people that
economy and environment go and hand together “No country was better positioned to take advantage of those new
opportunities in the global economy than Canada. No country in the world had stronger assets and weaker leadership.
No government got it more wrong than Harper’s. A Liberal government will make it right.
• Today, I’m here to announce our plan for real change for our environment, our economy, and our future. We need to
take real action on climate change.

• Since 2015 when the Liberals took office the exports have been driven by energy, metals and transportation equipment
- https://www.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/merchandise-trade-canada-july-2017 (See slide 7). So, if Liberals think that
we can go carbon free in a few years then they live in a fantasy world. The reality is that clean technology companies
have yet to show a profit - http://www.bnn.ca/awash-in-red-ink-canadian-clean-tech-struggling-despite-ottawa-s-green-
goals-1.729679. Yet the government is moving forward with more moneys for SDTC fund.

technologies. Money for these funds comes from taxpayers like natural resource base corporation.
