There are important differences in the Climate and Energy platforms of our federal parties. The CBC has published this convenient comparison.

Climate change, energy
Liberal
The Liberals cut consumer carbon pricing before the campaign. They plan
to introduce incentives to help families invest in clean energy, including
reinstating the zero-emissions vehicle subsidy program. They would
tighten the output-based pricing system for large industrial emitters to
ensure carbon markets work properly. They are open to building pipelines
and speeding up energy projects. They would allow Quebec to veto any
pipeline on its territory. They say they would phase out the use of fossil
fuels in government buildings by 2030. They would develop a carbon
border adjustment mechanism to tax imports from countries that don’t
have comparable carbon pricing. They would invest $20 million to help the
Nunavut Nukkiksautiit Corporation complete the first phase of the
development of its hydroelectricity facility. They would invest $94 million
to upgrade power plants in Cambridge Bay, Gjoa Haven, Igloolik and
Iqaluit.
Conservative
Conservatives would repeal all carbon pricing, including on industrial
emitters. They would boost incentives (e.g., expand tax credits) for
businesses that reduce emissions and to promote clean energy
technologies. The party hasn't announced its carbon emissions reduction
target. It would support an east-west pipeline and would approve projects
such as LNG Quebec. The party would be open to exporting oil from the
Port of Churchill and has pledged to speed up development of the port.
New Democrat
The NDP supported the removal of consumer carbon pricing. The party
would keep the industrial carbon price. It would introduce a border
carbon adjustment mechanism to tax imports from countries that don’t
have comparable carbon pricing. The NDP says it would cut “$18 billion in
oil and gas subsidies,” but did not specify which. It is against building an
LNG pipeline in Quebec and believes the province should have the right to
veto energy projects on its territory. The party opposes the Energy East
project but isn’t shutting the door to pipelines. It would prioritize creating
an east-west electricity grid. It would continue the 100 per cent tariff on
Chinese-made electric vehicles. It would rebate Canadian families and
businesses $10,000 for buying or leasing over 12 months a Canadian-
manufactured zero-emissions vehicle and $5,000 for buying or leasing a
zero-emissions vehicle manufactured elsewhere.
Bloc Québécois
The Bloc would respect Quebec’s opposition to pipelines and opposes any
pipeline project passing through Quebec. The party wants to end support
for offshore oil and gas exploration in marine protected areas. It suggests
taxing the profits of oil and gas companies and reinvesting the sums into
climate change adaptation initiatives. The party would introduce a border
carbon adjustment mechanism to tax imports from countries that don’t
have comparable carbon pricing. It would ask the federal government to
increase its share of funding for the Canada-Quebec Nature Agreement
fund from $100 million to $300 million.
Green Party
It would invest in an east-west national electric grid. It would respect
Quebec's opposition to pipelines. It would remove barriers to inter-
provincial energy trade. It would stop giving public money to oil and gas
companies and invest it in clean energy instead. It would stop all new
fossil fuel projects. It would create a new national emergency response
agency.
People’s Party
It would abolish all climate change programs. But it would invest in
adaptation strategies for floods and forest fires. It would find a buyer for
the Trans Mountain pipeline. It would withdraw from the Paris Accord. It
would repeal C-48, which regulates vessels that transport crude oil to or
from ports or marine installations along B.C.’s north coast and C-69, the
federal government’s Impact Assessment Act. It would reassert federal
jurisdiction over pipeline construction by invoking section 92(10) of the
Constitution if necessary. It would keep Line 5, which runs from Sarnia,
Ont. to Michigan and Wisconsin, in operation.
