Where every party stands on climate
5 of the 10 parties on the October 24 ballot have published something on climate and environment. Here they are side by side, each with its source.
BEFORE YOU COMPARE
Who actually decides this
The province sets its own emissions targets and climate plan, environmental assessment and permitting for major projects, and rules on land, water and provincial parks. Ottawa regulates areas such as interprovincial pipelines and fisheries.
Read the commitments below against that. Where a party proposes something the city cannot do on its own, the commitment carries a line naming who holds the power. That is not a criticism of the promise. A council can lobby, fund and argue, and saying so plainly is more useful than pretending the limit does not exist.
WHAT THE COMPARISON SHOWS
Reading this ballot on climate
5 of the 10 parties have published something here, and between them they have made 10 separate commitments. BC Green Party has published the most, with 5.
2 commitments carry a figure you can hold a council to after the election: The party gives no cost or date., The party gives no cost or date.. The rest are directions without a number attached.
4 of the 10 commitments here depend at least partly on a government other than the city. That does not make them empty, but it does change what a council can promise about them.
