If Mark Carney is going to strike a "grand bargain" with Danielle Smith, he needs to ensure she's also giving up something of value. An immediate end to her government's ongoing attacks on the industrial carbon price is a good place to start. www.nationalobserver.com/2025/09/24/o...
It’s time for Mark Carney to draw the line on climate policy
Canada's prime minister has sacrificed a host of climate policies in his pursuit of political power. Now it's time for him to fight for the most important one of all — and win.

Canada’s legally-binding climate targets require emissions reductions of 40 to 45 per cent compared to 2005 levels by the end of the decade. However, the CCI said Canada’s emissions are only on track for a 20 to 25 per cent reduction by 2030. www.nationalobserver.com/2025/09/18/n...

Justin Trudeau was the prime minister of a Liberal government for almost a decade. But Chrystia Freeland was its heart, soul, and brain — and, in another universe, his natural and deserving successor. www.nationalobserver.com/2025/09/18/o...
Chrystia Freeland is the best prime minister we never had
She gave Justin Trudeau's Liberal party its first star candidate and most important cabinet minister. Then, more than a decade later, she saved it from political annihilation by sacrificing herself.

When Doug Ford says “People don’t give two hoots about this Greenbelt.” and “We’re moving ahead with it.” is he talking about those properties that were part of the GB, then not, then again and now definitely no longer because single family homes are worth more to his real estate buddies? #CorruptAF

Over 80% of critical habitat for at-risk species in BC fails to meet federal protection standards, according to BC govt docs.
Part of the reason the province is not meeting these standards is because it allows industrial logging in critical habitat for at-risk species.
