The most remarkable recent trend in Canadian politics has been the rise of the Greens. Small beer, say the Greens, who had earlier unveiled their own 20-point climate action plan. Where the Conservatives were against carbon pricing, and the Greens and (some of) the NDP against building pipelines, the Liberals were for both. Should the Liberals be tempted to move further left, however, they risk ceding that middle ground to the Conservatives. The Conservatives have not only opposed carbon pricing, but have resolutely refused to offer any emissions reduction plan of their own.
