Point well taken, but I think you need to admit that there is still a complete lack of MEANINGFUL regulation (or enforcement thereof, for that matter). In all honesty, the intensity targets of the present regime are just as bad as the all talk no action policies of the liberals past. Either way, both parties have got it wrong on a federal level and certainly the provincial party of the day/decade(s) never gave a flying fig for the environment.
Your last comment, whilst largely true in North America and vast swathes of the developing world is not universally true. As someone who worked as as an environmental regulator back in my home country, and has traveled almost all of Northern Alberta, I can guarantee you there is no way in hell the sort of environmental rape that goes on around fort Mcmurray would be allowed back home.
Just some food for thought. Thankfully I am still not a Canadian citizen yet, so don't need to choose sides on the present election. Lets hope for another minority government, so some checks and balances continue to be in place, allowing the more outlandish schemes of all the parties to be tempered with a bit of cold hard reality.
