climate change

Philippe J. Fournier: New data shows that on climate change, Conservative supporters are way out of step with voters from every other major party in Canada

Mike Moffatt and John McNally: Two big bottlenecks stand in the way of Canada’s climate ambition—a shortage of skilled labour and a shortage of housing

Philippe J. Fournier: The Conservative leader needs to move his party to the centre if he has any chance of beating the Liberals. If he fails, he won’t get a second chance.

Paul Wells: Magical thinking won’t solve the Conservatives’ climate problem. Maybe now is the time for Erin O’Toole to try something surprising.

New tracking shows Canadians leaning toward climate action. But there are challenges, too, from polarized views to a lack of trust in some information sources.

Andrew MacDougall: O’Toole is betting Canadians will first want to walk back to pre-pandemic normal—jobs and security—before running for any kind of imagined future

Shannon Proudfoot: The Tory leader’s big speech had a promising message about broadening his party’s tent. Missing was how he plans to do it.

Marie-Danielle Smith: There were no handshakes to parse or walks down the hall, just the familiar hiccups of a video chat—and a few reminders of a return to friendlier times

Rick Smith: America is moving ahead with an ambitious plan that goes beyond talk. This would be a good moment for Canada, the climate laggard, to do something new.

Murray Sinclair: Indigenous peoples have lived in balance with ecosystems since time immemorial. Our wisdom does not privilege humans above all other beings—a spirituality of humility, not dominion.
