Auditor General Kare Hogan calls out incompetence at the federal NDPLiberal level citing transition of workers from coal, oil and gas to a "just" and "green" low carbon economy. (Where have I heard that word "just" before when describing a society? Oh yeah, Trudeau père)
"...That’s the conclusion of the federal auditor general, who finds that bureaucrats sat on their fat portfolios even as coal workers were losing their jobs.
Coal mining is itself the canary down a dangerous mine shaft.
There are only about 331 coal miners left in Alberta, down from more than 1,100 in 2017.
If Ottawa can’t manage transition for that group, how will it deal with the thousands who are expected to leave oil and gas, as well as agriculture and even forestry, because of federal emissions policy?
Maybe Alberta will look like Newfoundland and Labrador after the federal shutdown of the cod fishery in 1992-93..."
