The decision to move quickly to fulfill this particular campaign pledge will likely create turmoil in the secondary market, where those that have bought credits to release pollution in the future will feel compelled to sell them at a discount since they now appear virtually worthless.

Vowing to stand with the federal Liberals, Ontario's Progressive Conservative premier-designate said he will travel widely in the United States in a bid to help bolster continuing and complex NAFTA talks.

U.S. President Donald Trump upped the ante on Canada's supply-managed dairy system over the weekend as he repeatedly warned that the country would face repercussions unless it is dismantled.

Alberta Premier Rachel Notley says Ontario still has a choice to make on climate change legislation despite its incoming premier's promises to do away with carbon pricing.

Andrea Horwath says it's a "new beginning" for the Ontario NDP, now the province's official Opposition party after Doug Ford's Progressive Conservatives won a majority government.

Asked how long he thinks it will take to fulfill a campaign trail pledge to extricate Ontario from its cap and trade system for controlling emissions and how much it will cost, Premier-designate Doug Ford instead started talking about how he thought it would be hard for him to pick out a cabinet because of the strength of his team.

The Ontario NDP candidate for Ottawa South said she's found that health care, education and community safety are the main issues — by a long shot — that people raise when she goes door-knocking in the riding.

“They have cajoled Trump, they have soothed his ego, they’ve played to his apparently inexhaustible vanity," Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne said about U.S. President Donald Trump on Thursday.

Yasir Naqvi, the province's attorney general, has held the riding since 2007, but he sees a lot of hesitation this time.

Researchers in northwestern Ontario are counting down the days until they can hop in a boat with a bucket of diluted bitumen, and pour it into a freshwater lake.

At campaign events on Sunday, both Ontario's Liberal premier and the leader of the New Democratic Party refused to commit to the possibility of joining forces to form a coalition government should the Progressive Conservatives win a minority in the upcoming election.
