Former Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault has resigned from the Canadian cabinet, signaling a major rift in the Liberal party's approach to the climate crisis. The departure follows a controversial deal to allow a new oil pipeline in exchange for increased industrial carbon taxes in Alberta. Prime Minister Mark Carney is shifting focus toward infrastructure and carbon capture and storage (CCS) to create decarbonized oil. This move has sparked criticism from environmentalists who argue that scrapping EV mandates and emissions caps prioritizes the oil industry over real decarbonization.
