BC Conservatives Say They Will Talk To The Greens ?What ? A Lot Of Us Feared This Was Possible !! Power Before Principle!
Did you hear that right ? Yes you did.
If the Conservatives get in a position where the Green Party would give them a majority they would talk to them about their support.
I just read it in the Global News report. And other news outlets are carrying it, too.
On the Green Party website it says they will put ‘Immediate stop to fossil fuel development .’ No new fossil fuel development —natural gas, oil, coal mines , LNG plants ——-
On the BC Conservative Party website the following is stated :
“Unlocking Potential: Revitalizing BC’s Mining Industry’ and ‘Consider all power sources that could keep BC’s energy mix independent, low cost, and green.’
As Global News reports there are a lot of other differences :
“A deal between the BC Greens and the BC Conservatives, however, could be a tough sell, with the parties holding diametrically opposed positions on several key issues.
The BC Conservatives campaigned against drug decriminalization, safe supply and supervised consumption sites, while the BC Greens vowed to expand those projects. Green Leader Sonia Furstenau described Rustad as a climate change denier, and is vocally opposed to the Conservatives’ plans to expand fossil fuel development and to scrap the carbon tax.
The Greens also oppose the Conservatives’ plans to privatize parts of health-care service delivery. And the Greens have consistently supported SOGI-123, the LGBTQ2 anti-bullying resource the Conservatives have vowed to remove from B.C. schools.”
There you have it BC Conservatives —-I say —
This is Not A Real Conservative Party!!A real Conservative Party does not get in bed with the enemy.
The irony of it all is in 2023, last year, BC ‘s top export was a fossil fuel , coal, and the second was another fossil fuel , natural gas.
And the largest single private section development in Canada’s history is the LNG —-fossil fuel plant that is , in Kitimat at $40 billion.
