THE RACE TO DECLARE A CLIMATE EMERGENCY

   Prime Minister Justin Trudeau went on the attack in the House of Commons on Tuesday, accusing NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh of being willing to risk thousands of jobs by appearing to withdraw support for a massive B.C. liquefied natural gas project.
   Trudeau’s comments come as both parties jockey for credibility on their environmental plans, with Parliament set to debate two competing motions this week on whether to declare a national climate emergency, both designed to expose the weaknesses of their rivals’ plans.

  Cue the drama.
