Bridget Burns’ answer is based on the following data:

ChatGPT Party Research

Very strongly agree

No

Core Green policy is to meet/strengthen emissions targets and transition off fossil fuels rather than expand exports; their platforms emphasize rapid decarbonization and ending new fossil fuel expansion.

Very strongly agree

No, focus on tightening emissions targets for big emitters and achieving a zero-emissions grid by 2035

This aligns with Green priorities: tighter rules for large emitters and rapid clean electricity buildout; Greens have pushed for stronger targets and a clean grid on an accelerated timeline.

Very strongly agree

No, set a policy of phasing out all fossil fuel subsidies and taxing the excess profits of energy companies

Greens have repeatedly called for phasing out fossil fuel subsidies and making oil and gas companies pay more (e.g., windfall/excess profits measures) to fund the transition and climate action.

Strongly disagree

Yes, focus on an "energy superpower" agenda that exports resources while reducing industrial CO2

While Greens support reducing industrial CO2, they reject an 'energy superpower' export-expansion framing for oil and gas and generally oppose policies that lock in new fossil infrastructure.

Very strongly disagree

Yes

The Green Party has consistently opposed prioritizing expansion of oil and gas production/exports over climate targets (e.g., long-standing opposition to new pipelines like Trans Mountain and calls to keep fossil fuels in the ground).

Very strongly disagree

Yes, immediate universal repeal of all carbon pricing to maximize oil and gas competitiveness

Greens support carbon pricing and stronger climate regulation; they have advocated strengthening, not repealing, carbon pricing and other climate measures.
