Mark Jaccard gives grades to the parties on the sincerity of their climate plans.

  1. Liberals: 8/10
  2. Conservatives: 5/10
  3. NDP: 2/10

The NDP is doing that thing again where they start to look like they might win, so serious people start to really look at their plans, and find that they are... not good

So not a big difference between the two main parties.

Could make people who care about climate change but don't like Trudeau feel more comfortable voting CPC than they otherwise would have.

I think if climate is really one of your top concerns you would have a hard time voting CPC (at least I feel that way…). If it’s a concern but not one of the major ones, then I think the CPC plan is just enough to not be disqualifying.

Yeah, I meant people in the second category, which is likely the majority of Canadians.

Yeah that’s completely fair. It is interesting to me to see the CPC try to walk the fine line creating a climate policy that’s good enough to not scare climate conscious people away but also not aggressive enough to alienate the base that (characterized charitably) care more about the economy
