"promised" is the key word. We will eventually need to make lifestyle changes, but no party wants to wear that at election time. So we have delays:

the federal government is internally tracking progress on as many as 115 climate-related policies. But "delays" in implementing some of the most significant policies are endangering Canada's chances of meeting that 2030 target.

One of the major causes of delays is provincial resistance. With the major provinces having conservative governments, roll outs are stonewalled at every opportunity. Friggen Sask over there threating to break federal law and refuse to collect a legal tax, for example. Alberta would rather burn the country to the ground than even think about something other than oil extraction.

It's ridiculous.

Yeah, you're not going to catch me defending the current regime's overall track record.
