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.

Will you sign?

We the undersigned call on the federal government to back off, respect the Constitution, stop infringing on provincial jurisdiction, and Stop The Clean Electricity Regulations.

Not relying on coal and natural gas, which we have in abundance in this province and being forced to only use “clean energy” sources is both unrealistic and economically damaging. While I am all for trying to protect the environment, I don’t feel it should come at the expense of people’s livelihoods. In the last two decades alone, thousands of people were laid off in Alberta because of coal plants being shut down and oil companies reducing production. As was pointed out in the accompanying article, what good is having wind turbines when there is no wind? What good are solar panels if there’s not enough sunlight (especially during the winter) to charge them? The idea that we should ONLY rely on clean energy sources is ridiculous and completely unrealistic. Alberta doesn’t have the climate of southern California. Furthermore, electricity generation is under provincial jurisdiction. Albertans need to speak up and fight for their right to determine how electricity is generated in their own province.

There can always be combined efforts to make sure all our needs are met. During times of extreme heat and cold are not times to be cutting back or shutting down on what has been proven to help. Sure we can cut back excessive usage during these times, but not to be a detriment to our safety and well-being
