For Canada’s major oil and gas producers, Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is a get-out-of-jail-free card, which allows them to keep on polluting while appearing as though they are taking the threat of climate change seriously. The Carbon Capture Facility at the Boundary Dam Power Plant in Saskatchewan went into service in 2014.
