Swapping the tragedy of the horizon for the expediency of today
The recent budget does little to dispel the confusion about what Canada’s new prime minister stands for when it comes to the country’s climate policy.
COP 30 unlikely to shift political will
Money is tight, wars are a huge distraction, and the climate has become unfashionable, so we’ll just have to wait and hope for better times.
Methane regulation is a climate-competitive home run
This year’s COP is a vital moment for Prime Minister Mark Carney to deliver on a key Canadian climate promise, showcase responsible energy development, and advance economic opportunities.
At COP, disinformation is the next crisis to tackle
If Canada steps up and joins co-signers like the U.K., France, and Spain, others will follow. Doing so would put the country’s resilience, strength, and democratic values on full display. This is how Canada can turn this rising risk into global leadership.
How Bill Gates has shifted the politics of climate change
The environmental movement has suffered a loss.
Emissions cap may ‘no longer be required’ as Ottawa favours carbon capture, critical minerals: budget
The controversial oil and gas emissions cap would have ‘marginal value in reducing emissions,’ says Carney’s first federal budget, which focuses on tax credit incentives and methane regulations to reach net zero.
Questions loom over Liberals’ environment plans with Canada ‘off path’ to meet emissions targets
The government is expected to release its climate competitiveness strategy with the federal budget on Nov. 4.
For Canada to be ‘climate competitive’ we need to stay the course on key industrial policies
In investigating the efficacy of Canada’s Emissions Reduction Plan, I’d like to highlight two sectors whose emissions have changed dramatically over the last 20 years. I believe they tell a story of how strong, durable climate policies can work, without damaging industries.
Canada can still get to net-zero by 2050 if we get real about what’s missing
If 2025 becomes the year governments reconnect climate, energy, and economic policy, Canada can still meet its 2050 goal—and emerge more prosperous and competitive in the process.
Carney: short-term self-interest?
The tragedy Mark Carney warned about was stranded assets, financial loss, and maybe economic collapse—does he not understand the evil damage we are doing over the horizon to our only home and every future generation? How Canada, as a major producer, must be responsible? And the need for urgent, unthinkably radical action?
