For all the gloss in Wright’s presentation, it doesn’t take much scratching of the surface to reveal the tinfoil underneath. But that doesn't make his message any less dangerous for those who care about climate policy.

Donald Trump has Canada over a barrel of oil and he knows it. He might not be a deep thinker when it comes to, say, foreign policy, but Trump is a genius at sniffing out weakness on the part of others and then exploiting it without fear or favour.

A recent resolution by Alberta's ruling United Conservative Party (UCP) to recognize carbon as "a foundational nutrient for all life on Earth" is rooted in fossil fuel disinformation that dates back to the 1990s.

Capping oil and gas pollution is crucial to cut greenhouse gas emissions, while ensuring the industry’s competitiveness through the energy transition, federal ministers said Monday. But Ottawa’s fiercest critics were quick to slam the proposal, setting up fresh rounds of conflict for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s beleaguered government.

Premier Danielle Smith’s latest PR push is fossil fuel propaganda. That’s why 350.org responded with “Cap the Crap,” a campaign to call out industry lies and fight for a strong emissions cap on Alberta's oil and gas sector.

The Liberals don't have many winning issues right now, but their new policy for oil and gas emissions (and the reflexive Conservative backlash against it) might just be one. If they're smart, they'll use it to give Pierre Poilievre the carbon tax election he never wanted.

The regulations, still only in draft format and about two years behind schedule, could further strain relations between Ottawa and the Alberta government which recently launched a $7-million advertising campaign to "scrap the cap."

In a media availability held prior to the policy debates, Premier Smith suggested that she would honour the spirit but not the text of the CO2 resolution if it passed, continuing the government’s approach of supporting industry’s commitment to net zero by 2050.

Moments after the legislation was introduced in the legislature, LGBTQ+ organizations Egale and Skipping Stone Foundation announced they will be taking legal action, calling it discriminatory.

Environment and Climate Change Minister Steven Guilbeault says Alberta Premier Danielle Smith is playing politics with people’s future, hours after she announced a plan to legally challenge the carbon price once more.

The number of Canadians who think we accept too many immigrants has more than doubled in the last two years. Both sides of the political spectrum are to blame.

In politics these days, talk is cheap -- and talk that happened in the past, no matter how offensive, seems practically worthless.

Environment Minister Rebecca Schulz encouraged Canadians to "look at the facts" about the proposed federal emissions cap. She might want to think twice about that.

Premier Danielle Smith said Tuesday it's a de facto production cap that will stifle the economy.

The Alberta government is proposing additional restrictions on wind and solar farms that conservationists think are more about limiting renewable energy than protecting the environment.
