Some Cdns are 'complaining' about $12 Million going to a Low Carbon Economy Challenge winner that will be spent to retrofit existing refrigeration systems by small service companies to reduce ghgs = 50,000 cars off the road.1/2
2/2 CPCs has no problem spending over $ 100M on Canada Action Plan advertising. The Low Carbon Economy Program not only serves as an Incentive to reduce ghgs but promotes the culture of investing to cut ghg emmissions. Much more effective than a roadside sign. Pettiness=No change
Loblaws is spending $100M in its efforts to reduce its carbon footprint by 30% by 2030. Corporate Canada needs to get on board. How about pressuring companies not committed to climate action instead of criticizing a company that is being socially responsible. Be better Cdns

All proponents will need to ensure that the emissions reductions achieved through their projects:
are material;
are incremental to existing actions;
are contributing towards Canada’s 2030 emissions reduction target; and
are as cost effective as possible.

For all projects, proponents can partner with other eligible entities (municipalities, Indigenous governments and organizations, businesses, not-for-profit and for-profit organizations) and flow funding to them to undertake projects, upon approval by the Federal Government.
Goal: To support projects that reduce greenhouse gas emissions, create jobs and save money.
