And so it begins. Environmentalists and Indigenous groups have launched the first protests and legal actions threatening conventional energy production since Mark Carney became prime minister.
A few small protests have been held in Ontario and Quebec and a lawsuit was filed by nine First Nations this summer in response to Bill C-5 (the Building Canada Act). And environmentalists have filed suit for an injunction to reverse the Government of Saskatchewan’s decision to operate its coal-fired electrical power stations beyond the federal government’s 2030 shutdown deadline.
