carbon pricing

Carney says people who have been getting a rebate on the carbon price will get one final payment for the next quarter in April.

Canadians have witnessed catastrophic climate change-induced disasters over and over in recent years, but polling suggests it’s having little effect on the public’s understanding of the climate crisis. 

On Tuesday, Indigenous Services Minister Patty Hajdu, Crown-Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs Minister Gary Anandasangaree and former housing minister Sean Fraser all threw their support behind Carney on social media.

Potential candidates have just two weeks to decide to run and potential voters less than three weeks to join the party in order to vote.

Nova Scotia Premier Tim Houston said he needed a strong, fresh mandate to negotiate with the federal government on issues such as carbon pricing.

Susan Holt said her government would remove the province's four-cent-a-litre gas tax and then submit to Ottawa a "made in New Brunswick climate plan."

Subsidies to fight greenhouse gas emissions may be a more politically feasible alternative to incentivize the adoption of low-carbon technologies and behaviours.

Nova Scotia Premier Tim Houston fired the opening salvos of a snap election he called Sunday, saying he needs a strong mandate in order to help the province “stand up” to the federal government.

Our political leaders must either tax carbon “or” regulate technologies. They don’t have to do both.

Canadians are set to receive carbon pricing rebates on Tuesday, as the Liberals defend one of their most embattled policies.

The Liberals have accused the Conservatives of dismissing the expertise of more than 200 economists who wrote a letter earlier this year describing the carbon price as the least expensive, most efficient way to lower emissions.

Of the 1,500 policies in 41 countries, researchers found only a small fraction actually had impact — and usually as part of a larger strategy that included multiple angles of attack.

The second instalment of this year's national carbon price rebate will be deposited or mailed out to millions of households today.

The “axe the carbon tax” chants are back. This time the claim is that it has driven Canada’s gasoline taxes too high. Does the data support the claim? Barry Saxifrage takes a look at the numbers.
