The problem isn’t his age.
Her age. Danielle Smith is the Premier who wants to delay proposed Federal climate regulations from taking effect until she is in her 70s. The proposed Clean Electricity Regulations have the goal of net zero carbon emissions by 2035, but Smith has threatened to ignore the regulations unless the target date is pushed back to 2050. Her age definitely comes into play because she won’t be around to see the consequences of delaying climate action for political gain.
I don’t care if politicians are young or old; I care about their policies. Her policies are definitely awful, but wouldn’t really be any better if she was younger.
