The environment has emerged as an increasingly important issue in Ontario politics since the end of World War II, yet it has been the subject of surprisingly little scholarship. With Blue-Green Province, Mark Winfield addresses this gap.A recognized authority in the field, Winfield masterfully explains the formulation and implementation of environmental policy in Canada's most populous province, tracing its development through the Progressive Conservative "dynasty" that ruled Ontario politics from the mid-1940s to the mid-1980s, to the dramatically different governments of Premiers Peterson, Rae, Harris, Eves, and McGuinty. He offers particularly trenchant analysis of the little-studied period following the Harris's "Common Sense Revolution," examining the implications of the 1999, 2003, and 2007 elections and their subsequent governments for Ontario's environment and politics.A timely, original analysis, Blue-Green Province should be required reading for anyone with an interest in the interplay of environmental policy, politics, and economic development in Ontario and across Canada.

Canadian energy systems need to evolve. Beyond providing essential energy services, they must respond to climate change, enhance social justice, and remain sensitive to local cultures and traditions. Can they do this and still make financial sense? Sustainable Energy Transitions in Canada gathers experts from across the country to share perspectives on leading theories and practices. Contributors first deal with the conceptual aspects of energy transitions, investigating such topics as energy justice and poverty, the decolonization of energy, community energy planning, the role of energy systems modelling, and links between energy and climate change policy. Building on this foundation, they offer case studies that cover the North, the Atlantic region, Quebec, Ontario, Alberta and British Columbia, along with crucial but difficult to decarbonize sectors like transportation and space heating.Running throughout this comprehensive discussion is a common thread: the importance of paying attention to wider sustainability goals and distributional justice in the process of decarbonizing the Canadian economy.
