Our emissions are already terrible. We do not need to destroy the earth more.

It's always been a bit of a mind bender. Provinces with a massive industry extremely sensitive to actually being able to grow things in the ground who lobby for a separate industry of which the products actively threaten the former's existence. Especially troubling when the former is renewable, and the latter is not.

I suppose it makes sense when the politicians are in the deep pockets of the giant oil corps rather than the smaller pockets of farmers, though farming is becoming more of a giant corp game too.
