Over the last decade, Prolife Alberta has rebuilt a dormant party into a unique political entity focused on influencing legislators rather than getting its own candidates elected.

David is right.
When a government magics up new legislation (Bill 14) to sidestep the courts and enable the separatists' (un)constitutional citizen initiative, there is only one conclusion.
Smith, the UCP & their fellow travellers are separatists.
Govern yourself accordingly.

All practical trajectories for staying below 1.5°C or 2°C by the end of the century allow for a period of “overshoot”, after which temperatures are brought back down. But the length and severity of this will vary
The world will fail to meet the Paris agreement’s ambitious climate target
Exceeding the emissions threshold by 2026 is likely, making a post-1.5°C world inevitable. Governments face some hard choices in the coming year and beyond
