Anchored in the core literature on natural re- sources energy production and environmental analysis Green-lite is a critical examination of Canadian environmental policy governance and politics drawing out key policy and governance patterns to show that the Canadian story is one of complexity and often weak performance. Making a compelling argument for deeper his- torical analysis of environmental policy and situat- ing environmental concerns within political and scal agendas the authors provide extended discussions on three relatively new features of environmental policy the federal-cities and urban sustainability regime the federal-municipal infra- structure regime and the regime of agreements with ngos and businesses that often relegate governments to observing participants rather than being policy leaders. They probe the Harper eras muzzling of environmental science and scientists Canadas oil sands energy and resource economy and the governments core Alberta and Western Canadian political base. The rst book to provide an integrated historical and conceptual examination of Cana- dian environmental policy over many decades Green-lite captures complex notions of what environmental policy and green agendas seek to achieve in a business-dominated economy of diverse energy producing technologies and their pollution harms and risks.
