To build a clean economy and avoid a climate disaster, Canada needs an emissions-free electricity supply. As we electrify everything, from our cars to our home heating systems, we need electricity to come from sources that dont emit greenhouse gases. Thats why Prime Minister Trudeaus 2021 promise to deliver a net-zero electricity grid by 2035 was important.

To much fanfare, Trump has issued a slew of executive orders, many aimed at killing environmental regulations. As he portrayed his actions the day before, Starting tomorrow, I will act with historic speed and strength and fix every single crisis facing our country. True, many people will see the executive orders in that light. But few executive orders have any immediate impact.

Later today, Trump will set in motion a wave of actions by the executive branch. And as day follows night, those actions will be followed a wave of legal challenges. That’s what happened in Trump’s first term, and the challenges then were successful more often than not. To give some specifics: California filed 123 separate lawsuits in Trumps first term about one new lawsuit every two weeks.
