I was going to point out how old all of the info in the article was (why talk about Kyoto when the Paris accords and COP are more recent and more relevant) but then realized the article is from 2017.

Ignoring the nonsense idea that climate change would be good for Canada, many criticisms are not true anymore. Keystone XL is cancelled. Justin Trudeau (and the Liberal party) ran their last campaign on a plan to meet the Paris accord targets. Government subsidies are more and more being moved from oil and gas to sustainable energy. There's a whole lot more to be done and lots of fair criticism but I doubt even Jesse Brown would be as strongly critical today.
