Steven Guilbeault has resigned as a Member of Parliament, citing a significant backslide in Canada's climate action. He specifically pointed to a new energy agreement with Alberta that postpones industrial carbon pricing ambitions by ten years and signals a shift away from previous emissions targets. The departure follows a series of policy reversals under Prime Minister Mark Carney, including the repeal of the consumer carbon tax and the elimination of the EV sales mandate. Guilbeault argues that these moves reward bad behavior and undermine the country's ability to meet its 2030 emissions goals.
