Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is fighting for his political life but that hasn’t dampened his government’s zeal to push forward yet another scheme to slay climate change. In what appears to be an unprecedented move of economic self-sabotage by a national government, Trudeau aims to impose a ceiling on oil and gas emissions in Canada.

The feds deny their new emissions framework (requiring the industry to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 35 to 38 per cent from 2019 levels by 2030) will cap oil and gas production in Canada. But a cadre of heavyweights — experts at the Conference Board of Canada, Deloitte, and S&P Global — have taken a close look at what’s on offer and disagree.
