Justin Trudeau

Imagine paddling a canoe against the current or riding your bike against the wind. That’s climate action without carbon pricing.

The NDP is pressuring the government to order an inquiry into corporate price gouging in the oil and gas sector, as the Conservatives point to the carbon tax as a reason for the cost of living crisis. Are Justin Trudeau's Liberals losing room to manoeuvre?

The federal government has brought to bear an impressive suite of climate measures but rather than wielding all this hard and noble work like the political sword it should be, our Liberal leaders are parrying attack after attack from the Opposition.

Conservatives won't be taking advice from "so-called experts" when it comes to carbon pricing, the party said in a statement on Wednesday after more than 200 economists signed an open letter challenging leader Pierre Poilievre's stance.

We have been too tolerant for too long of deviant behaviour by elected officials who ignore climate change science.

In letters addressed to the seven premiers who called on the federal government to pause a planned increase to the carbon price, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau rejected the demand and reminded them they don't set federal law in the latest volley over the Liberals' signature climate policy.

In a letter shared on social media, MP Pam Damoff says the benefit, which is designed to help keep people with disabilities out of poverty, is a "legacy social policy" for the government. 

Conservative Party of Canada Leader Pierre Poilievre says he's against the carbon tax because it hurts families, while Justin Trudeau's Liberals insist it does the opposite. Who is telling the truth?

Inflation is on track to end 2024 below two per cent, and interest rate cuts are almost surely on their way sooner than that. So why do the provinces keep doing things that drive up the cost of living — and will Pierre Poilievre ever call them out?

Among the possibilities are "more responsive" police service models that could involve closer integration of the RCMP and community social services, say internal Public Safety Canada notes.

With almost everyone turning on the carbon tax, it's time for Justin Trudeau to make the ultimate political sacrifice. How eliminating the carbon tax could end up saving good climate policy in this country — and maybe even his government.

Members of the public who wish to pay tribute to Brian Mulroney can visit his casket in Ottawa starting this afternoon.

Wab Kinew's infectious optimism is a welcome relief from the negativity and nastiness that pervades our politics right now. Can he be Canada's answer to Barack Obama?

His casket is being brought to Ottawa on Tuesday, where he will lie in state for two days. 

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau pushed back on Wednesday on growing demands from premiers to dump the planned April 1 hike to the consumer carbon levy, saying leaders must tackle both affordability and climate change.
