"That’s why the Trudeau government is right: It’s possible to meet Canada’s climate-change commitments while growing the economy, and even growing the oil industry."

I wonder if the editorial board read the op/ed by Kathryn Harrison in yesterday in this very paper before writing theirs. Her point is that building the pipeline is essentially betting that the Paris Climate Agreement will fail as it assumes a continually increasing demand for Canada's oil beyond 2020. So the government can't have it both ways: either we take our Paris commitments seriously or we do not. 

Canada is currently on track to miss our Paris targets in 2020 by a wide margin. How is increasing oil production going to help with this? I would love for the G&M, or anyone for that matter, to explain to me exactly how we can meet our climate change commitments while growing the oil industry because I haven't seen any such plan. Please do tell. I'm all ears.
