Industrial carbon pricing is Canada’s single most powerful tool to reduce emissions and protect competitiveness—and it costs next to nothing for households. That’s largely because it applies to large exporting industries. Learn more ⬇️ 440megatonnes.ca/insight/indu...

Please read in full. This is a red line moment in America! www.nytimes.com/live/2025/04...
Stephen Vladeck, a law professor at Georgetown University, said the idea that “the government can disappear people to a foreign country with no due process and no responsibility for what happens next” amounted to “a rule-of-law crisis.” “If the government can do it to Abrego Garcia, they can do it to anybody,” Mr. Vladeck said. “Of course I’m not going to do it,” Mr. Bukele said when reporters asked if he was willing to help return the man, Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, a 29-year-old father of three who was deported last month. The Trump administration has acknowledged that his deportation was the result of an “administrative error.” The message from the meeting was clear: Neither Mr. Trump nor Mr. Bukele had any intention of returning Mr. Abrego Garcia, even though the Supreme Court has ruled that he should come back to the United States. The case has come to symbolize Mr. Trump’s defiance of the courts and his willingness to deport people without due process.

Industrial carbon pricing is not only the most significant policy Canada has to cut emissions and support Canadian competitiveness. It also costs next to nothing for everyday Canadians. Read more👇

Congratulations to Prime Minister-Designate Mark Carney. I look forward to reconnecting to discuss how we can build a clean and competitive economy that works for all Canadians, as well as Clean Energy Association of BC (CEBC)’s role as the leading voice of renewable energy in BC. ⚡️

Wondering what tariffs will do to the US economy if Trump's Trade War is prolonged? Me too. Here's a few analyses I found:

1. Statistica sums up several studies on 🇨🇦&🇲🇽 tariffs: www.statista.com/chart/34041/...

Takeaways: US GDP down ~0.24-0.32%, employment down ~0.11-0.25%. Much larger damages 🇨🇦&🇲🇽

This chart shows the estimated change to below indicators in the case of 25-% tariffs between the U.S., Canada and Mexico.

While the news cycle out of the US can feel chaotic and overwhelming, the facts of climate progress happening around the world are the antidote to pessimism. Read more from Institute president @rjcsmith.bsky.social's first monthly column in Corporate Knight

Whatever Trump may claim, renewable electricity does not make electricity systems unreliable. @nathanielbullard.com with the receipts.

SAIDI = system average interuption duration index, a measure of the average cumulative electricity service outage per customer (aka how much time the power is out)
