Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says his cabinet ministers need to focus on tangible results and not lose sight of the government's broader goal of creating a more diverse and inclusive Canada, even as Omicron is threatening to push the transition from pandemic to recovery down the road yet again.

As last week’s budget made clear, the money is simply not yet forthcoming to realize our critical climate goals, writes columnist Seth Klein.

On Thursday, Erin O’Toole, leader of the official Opposition Conservative Party, released his long-awaited climate plan, complete with its own price on pollution, meaning that all the major national political parties now support some form of carbon pricing.
