Pierre Poilievre

The impacts of inflation and the cost of living have knocked climate change down the list of priorities.

Beyond their sustained campaign against the federal carbon price, it is unclear exactly what, if anything, the Conservative Party of Canada would do to address climate change. However, some hints were dropped this week at a major conservative networking conference in Ottawa.

Tom Kmiec criticized the sharp increase in temporary residents in Canada, as a large number of potential immigrants compete for few permanent resident opportunities. 

Separately but simultaneously, Canada's federal Conservative and NDP leaders laid out their respective visions for how best to defeat Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. 

Pierre Poilievre and the provincial premiers are spoiling for yet another fight over the carbon tax — this time in a nationally televised meeting. Here's why Justin Trudeau should give it to them, and how he can beat them at their own game.

Conservative Party of Canada Leader Pierre Poilievre continues to evade questions about whether he would axe the carbon pricing system for industrial emitters if he forms the next government.

Two years after they occupied Ottawa and tried to replace the government, the freedom convoy is rallying around opposition to the carbon tax — and still making the same fundamental misunderstandings about how our democracy works.

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre's path to power may be by prosecuting Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's past eight years in government, but his road to victory is painted NDP orange.

The Liberal government is setting aside $2.4 billion in the upcoming budget to build capacity in artificial intelligence, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced on Sunday.

Around 90 per cent of Canadians who say they intend to vote Liberal or NDP tell pollsters that "climate change is a fact and is mostly caused by human activities," according to a survey by the Angus Reid Institute conducted in March. Yet only one-third of federal Conservative voters accept this foundational climate fact.

Calls to suspend the April 1 increase at best ignore the real causes of the affordability crisis, and at worst seek to win Canadians’ support via false solutions.

The only thing New Democrats and Liberals dislike more than Conservatives is each other. But if they want to put an end to a future Pierre Poilievre government, they might have to find a way to put it aside and join forces more permanently.

Tuesday brought another day of attacks against the Liberals' carbon pricing policy, even as Trudeau sought to catch Canadians' attention by announcing billions in new spending for housing construction.  

Canadians need concrete solutions that cut household bills and protect our climate.

The endless debate over the carbon tax is missing the forest for the trees — and distracting us from the more important conversation we need to have about the CPC's do-nothing attitude towards climate change.
