Alberta and Ottawa can find common ground in a scary word: ‘transition’ GlobeDebate

highlight the gap between what the science tells us we need to do on climate change, and how far current policy will get us. That concerns a lot of Canadians, increasingly younger ones, who rightfully worry about inheriting a mess if the world doesn’t bridge the gap soon.On the other hand, many Western Canadians are feeling beaten up as of late. The federal government chose to play catch-up on climate policy during its first term after a decade of little action by the previous government.

To their credit, governments have not sat back complacently. Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland went on an extended listening tour. Multiple senior federal bureaucrats have added “defuse Western alienation” to their to-do lists. Even Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was unusually sedentary last month while playing host to umpteen premiers and mayors in Ottawa.

Transition management is an emerging branch of management science. It tackles the necessary and inexorable shift to a low-carbon and socially inclusive global economy. Students and practitioners of transition management develop skills to help organizations adapt to and leverage intense social, environmental and technological shifts in our economic system.

Transition is a scary word for many working in mining, forestry and oil and gas, because it can come across as “transitioning me being out of a job.” It is especially threatening in Alberta, where the most recent downturn has been sharp and prolonged. Some avoid the term altogether, preferring “transformation” or “evolution.” Others speak of an “equitable transition,” one that cannot leave workers and their industries behind.

GlobeDebate Trudeau goes to ,”cap and trade auctions”buys carbon credits spends them on NGOs to undermine conservatives in Canada. 50% of Canadians are paid NGOs, the UN say almost everyone in Ireland is a paid NGO. It’s such a joke. Billions spent on this crap, it’s actually corruption.
