Oh, It's Not A Surprise When One Thinks About It

But only you are asking the question, Mr. Moe:


Here:

Basically, what (the Liberals are) doing is setting end-of-life conditions or prohibitions on using natural gas and oil to generate electricity in all but certain circumstances.
So, if you have other sources of electricity that generate greenhouse gases, you’re going to have to, as a power generator, as a Crown corp. or what have you, find other sources of power by the time those facilities reach what the regulations define as their end of life — which is either 2035 or 20 years after they come into service. ...
So the clean-electricity regulations that came out last week, those are created under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act. And so it’s federal environmental legislation, and this is an add-on regulation under that piece of legislation. Previously, regulations made under that environmental protection (law) have been challenged.
The courts determined that these were valid federal regulations under Parliament’s ability to enact criminal laws.

Article content

It’s not part of the Criminal Code, but it’s legislation that has the characteristic of criminal law. So that’s within the powers of the federal government.

In short, the government will control all power because it can.
