Scott Moe is almost one year into his tenure as Saskatchewan premier and he has used his opposition against a federal carbon tax as a major front in the early battle to define his leadership.

Will a price on carbon be a central issue in Alberta's 2019 election? With opinion polls that show Jason Kenney’s United Conservative Party has a wide lead over Premier Rachel Notley's NDP, and signs that oilpatch leaders are undermining the government's approach to pollution, the pressure is on for Notley's team to show their work on the economy, climate change and renewable energy issues.

Rod Phillips and Catherine McKenna have met only once. That was in July after he was sworn in as minister. Since then they have sparred on Twitter and through the media about climate policies.

The Ontario government fulfilled a central campaign promise Wednesday as it passed legislation to repeal the province’s price on carbon pollution. But in doing so, ministers were still unable to articulate a science-based explanation for their decision.
