A government is appreciated, or not, for the choices that it makes. Some choices pack more of a punch than others, and some choices make or break a government. Even choosing not to do something, or delaying a decision, can transform into a pivotal moment for a government.

After a decade of living under Harper, and years of fighting for climate action in Canada, we are finally seeing some results. Just last week, the government committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 80% by 2050 through a plan that includes, among other things,
- A phase out of pollution from coal power plants by 2030,
- A national price on carbon, and
