Stop The Clean Electricity Regulations
Last week, Canada’s Environment Minister, Steven Guilbeault, released the draft Clean Electricity Regulations - otherwise known as the much anticipated, incredibly expensive, and entirely unconstitutional net-zero 2035 electricity generation requirements.
Ottawa is even threatening punitive measures for those who don't comply, with Energy and Natural Resources Minister Jonathan Wilkinson announcing that billions of dollars in tax credits and grants will be tied to a province's plan to reach net-zero.
We’ll cut to the chase - these Clean Electricity Regulations are flat-out unconstitutional.
Electricity generation is an exclusive provincial jurisdiction protected by Section 92A (1)(c) of the Constitution, which states:
"In each province, the legislature may exclusively make laws in relation to ... development, conservation and management of sites and facilities in the province for the generation and production of electrical energy."
Luckily, the Clean Electricity Regulations are a consultative document - meaning the regulations are not finalized.
So, we need to make ourselves heard and be as loud as possible now.
That's why we're launching a new campaign calling on the federal government to back off, respect the Constitution, stop infringing on provincial jurisdiction, and Stop The Clean Electricity Regulations!
Please sign our petition against the CER now, pass this petition on to your friends and family, and we'll be in touch in the coming days with more ways you can help with this campaign.

The fact that 2 of 3 generators were down definitely played a huge part in this energy alert. Those in charge of scheduling planned maintenance in January, the cold months, should be removed.
The thought of protecting the environment is kind but I agree that Canada has a pin point affect on the overall picture when other countries have a much larger carbon footprint and are not following the same program. This is very unjust to the Canadian people.
