The federal government’s so-called “Emissions Reduction Plan” - including its oil and gas emissions cap - will devastate Alberta’s economy.
We knew it all along.
But thanks to a freedom of information request obtained by The Hub, we now have proof - from the Alberta government’s own commissioned research - showing just how bad it will be.
The Conference Board of Canada was hired in 2023 to assess the economic and fiscal impacts of Ottawa’s plan.
The final report, delivered to the province in January 2025, contains detailed modelling of Alberta’s economic future under these policies.
The government released the main report in March… but held back the detailed economic tables.
The Hub fought for access and, through a FOIP request, obtained part of that hidden data.
The numbers are staggering:
$941.7 billion in lost economic activity between 2030 and 2050.
Over 150,000 Alberta jobs gone by 2050.
$3,291 less disposable income per Alberta household per year by 2050.
More than $196 ...
Is this true? Don’t doubt it but sure makes you look around last 10 years & wake up! Too bad many have not done that yet!!
