Canada has a major economic opportunity in the global low-carbon economy, if it gets its climate and energy policies right. Those policies should be informed by principles like leveraging the ingenuity of markets and free enterprise, limited government, and respect for provincial jurisdiction. The following podcast is the latest installment of The Hub’s series sponsored by Clean Prosperity exploring the why, what, and how of conservative climate policy.
Mac Van Wielingen, founder and former chair of ARC Financial Corporation, discusses the tradeoffs between the environment and the economy, the need for a clear climate vision, and the basic contours of a pragmatic and durable climate change agenda for Canada.
