carbon tax

British Columbia's premier fought battles over the Trans Mountain pipeline on two fronts on Wednesday, going to court against Alberta's premier, who wants the line expanded, while urging Ottawa to start shipping more gasoline through the pipe that's already there.

Messages in our political discourse need to be meticulously fact-checked and corrected. Here's what we're doing about it.

Ontario lawyers argued that Ottawa's pricing on emissions would unbalance the “constitutional architecture” in Canada, a delicate division of powers between the federal government and its constituent provinces, while a five-judge panel pushed back.

Buried in Ontario's budget bill are fines of up to $10,000 per day for gas station operators who don't display government-mandated stickers about the price of the carbon tax.

Alberta's two political heavyweights have renewed their challenge to Ottawa over legislation they call a gut punch to the province's oil industry.

Alberta's two main political leaders used the only election debate to drill in on trust, with Jason Kenney saying Rachel Notley can't run the economy and Notley saying Kenney's moral compass needs a major readjustment.

Premier John Horgan says the B.C. government will consider "some relief" for those who can't afford record high gas prices.

Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe says he welcomes Manitoba in the legal fight against Ottawa over the federal carbon tax.

With six months until Canadians go to the polls, Conservative MP Ed Fast won’t reveal much about how his party plans to bring pollution down to “near-zero” by mid-century, as Canadian scientists concluded is necessary.

Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe is planning to speak at a rally this week where one of the organizers has questioned scientific evidence showing that human activity is causing climate change. The Opposition NDP leader in the prairie province has recommended that the premier tell the crowd that climate change is real.

United Conservative Leader Jason Kenney says if he wins the Alberta election, a formal court challenge of the federal carbon tax will be launched by the end of the month.

From Kenora to Oxford to Ottawa and Toronto, members of the Progressive Conservative provincial government of Doug Ford posted photographs of themselves at gas stations warning drivers to fill up their tanks before a carbon tax kicks in. They failed to recognize federal rebates to taxpayers.

Canada's small business operators say they are not ready for the carbon tax to kick in next week — particularly since the federal government has still not told them how they will be compensated for the cost.

The leader of Alberta's United Conservatives says he believes humans are causing climate change and action is needed to tackle it, but those who disagree still have a place in the party.

The Ford government’s policies, ostensibly made to save taxpayers money, have in fact opened the door to federal policies that would raise the cost of natural gas used to heat the province’s homes and business and cook its food.
