Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault, pictured on the Hill. Canada does have a real climate change plan and a number of policies at various stages of development and implementation that, in addition to carbon pricing, will take a big bite out of our emissions. But it just blew a big hole in what is its signature climate policy: carbon pricing.

Opinion | BY RIANA TOPAN | November 20, 2023
In Canada, we expect people to raise concerns about misconduct in other industries, and we celebrate those who reveal injustices in health-care facilities, schools, and other places of public importance.
