The NDP platform promises to “eliminate fossil fuel subsidies, taking on big polluters, and more.”

The Green Party (@CanadianGreens) promise to

“Establish Green Worker Training Programs that teach fossil fuel workers the renewable energy industries”

The Liberal Party (@liberal_party) promises

“to Launch a National Net-Zero Emissions Building Strategy that will chart a path to net-zero emissions from buildings by 2050 with ambitious milestones along the way.”

One thing I noticed on the @liberal_party platform that didn’t appear in the platform of the @CanadianGreens or @NDP is the term “carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS).”

I didn’t mean for this to turn into an analytical thread, but I have to call this out.

“Investing in carbon capture is a vain attempt to flog a dead fossil-fuel industry. Pumping money in can only be considered as ‘greenwashing’ which will leave the fossil fuel sector with a plethora of stranded assets and economic losses in years to come.”

The folks over at @thejuicemedia have an excellent video explainer on what #carboncapture is and why CCUS is especially 💩
