A coast-to-coast power grid is a nation-building project Canada needs, advocates say, but it may also be an important step for Mark Carney’s government to rebuild trust with the environmentalists it burned over Bill C-5.

Prime Minister Mark Carney is set to meet with his new cabinet this morning.

Carney's cabinet signals a “potential downgrading” of climate change and environment, and "climate is less central to the government's agenda than it was," says a York professor.

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is pledging to create a “one and done” system for resource project approvals and rapidly approve 10 projects he says are stuck in the “slow federal approval process.”

The federal Liberals are sending mixed signals chastising the oil and gas industry for pushing back on climate measures while gifting $200 million to the Cedar LNG project backed by fossil fuel companies that enjoy healthy profit margins.

Rolling back environmental policy will hurt Canadians in the long run, Energy and Natural Resources Minister Jonathan Wilkinson told the executives of Canada’s largest oil and gas companies after they called for a national energy crisis to fast track new fossil fuel projects. The public spat reveals a new front in the ongoing battle over the sector's future in Canada.

Mark Carney's first day as Prime Minister saw Chrystia Freeland back in cabinet, Steven Guilbeault out at Environment and Climate Change Canada, and the consumer facing carbon price killed. But for climate voters, there's much to read between the lines.

Using electricity exports as leverage to get tariffs removed as Ontario Premier Doug Ford is planning may seem tempting, but there are significant risks at hand worth considering.

As U.S. President Donald Trump continues to destabilize the Canadian economy with tariff threats, divisions in the Liberal Party are emerging at the highest levels over the role of fossil fuel pipelines in the dispute.

More than 36,000 people have signed a parliamentary petition urging Ottawa to bar U.S. President Donald Trump from Canada for persistently threatening the country's sovereignty.

Provincial Conservatives are promising a fund for ‘strategically located’ facilities to refine mined minerals and metals for use in everything from EV batteries through wind turbines to fighter jets, though some in industry worry the money could be badly spent.

When U.S. President Donald Trump was elected in November, Canadian officials issued a weaker than expected 2035 emission reduction target to account for the new political reality.

Some political leaders in Canada want to rekindle pipeline projects in the face of U.S. tariffs threatening the country’s energy security. Pipeline companies say they’ve moved on.

Opposition parties are calling for “full transparency” from the federal government about its financial commitments to the Trans Mountain expansion project, following revelations of a $20-billion refinancing loan offered to the beleaguered company.

Prime Minister Trudeau says Trump's 51st state comments are real and, whether its an exaggeration or not, a deep threat to sovereignty is emerging that observers say will be hard to chart a path out from.
