The NDP promised on Sunday to protect tenants through a program of national rent control, while the Conservatives focused their campaign trail message on addictions treatment.

In a move at odds with industry, experts, climate science, and Canada's peer countries, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says he now wants to scrap the industrial carbon price — an attempt to recapture the "axe the tax" formula that drove him to the top of the polls, before he fumbled the lead, observers say.

Even when Mark Carney was still in high school, his friends bugged him about whether he would become prime minister one day.

Gerald Butts wrote in a Substack newsletter that Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland's surprise resignation from cabinet last week dealt Trudeau a staggering blow that loosened his already tenuous grip on the party.

So far this year the Canada Pension Plan has pumped over $3 billion into fossil fuels, despite pledging to reach net-zero emissions. The risks to the economy and planet are growing, and advocates say the pension fund must transition out of coal, oil and gas before it's too late.

New rules to crack down on greenwashing apply to all sectors of the economy, but its the fossil fuel industry and its allies that are scrubbing websites and accusing Ottawa of draconian over reach as the legislation takes hold.

Stubborn fossil fuel financing and severely out-of-step renewable investments mean Canadian banks are undermining climate progress.

The federal government is considering advertising the benefits of the carbon price rebate in the latest sign Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is planning to defend the policy tooth and nail against Conservative attacks.

Former environment and climate change minister Catherine McKenna told Canada’s National Observer it’s “completely bonkers” to come to a climate summit to push oil and gas extraction.

“There's all sorts of reasons why it's challenging for governments to deliver on commitments, so that's the person who ultimately is cracking the whip, saying we've got to get this done faster," says former federal environment and climate change minister Catherine McKenna.

Canada’s image at the world’s signature climate negotiations could be complicated by infighting, some observers fear, as two of the federal government's ardent critics at the provincial level look to capture attention at the United Nations climate summit known as COP28.

Nate Erskine-Smith, candidate for leadership of the Ontario Liberals, presented a plan to significantly reduce the province's greenhouse gas emissions. Experts say his plan could work — if he can take the party's top spot.

As climate action gains traction across Canada, a quiet feud is brewing in the oilsands over the best way to continue extracting fossil fuels in an era of decarbonization.

In an era of decarbonization, the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers appears to be losing its influence on federal policy. But that doesn't mean Big Oil is on the way out.

Canada's former environment and climate change minister received the Chevalier honour from the French government ahead of the Paris Summit aimed at international financial reform.
