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.
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?
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.
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.
Heading into spring, Poilievre has spent much of his time outside of Parliament campaigning across the country — and on social media — to keep up momentum as he rides high in public opinion polls.
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?
The Liberals, NDP and Bloc Quebecois all voted against a Conservative motion calling for a vote of non-confidence in Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for refusing to call off a planned increase in the carbon price on April 1.
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre’s motion of non-confidence over the federal carbon price likely won’t topple the government, but it doesn’t have to serve the Conservative party agenda, political experts say.
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?
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.
The Conservative leader has the federal Liberals in his crosshairs over a scheduled increase to the carbon price, upping the pressure Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's government is dealing with across the country.
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?
