Mark Carney, Canada's Prime Minister, has been hailed as a climate champion by many, especially after his influential speech and role at the UN. However, a closer look reveals a stark contrast between his public image and his actual climate policies. The article delves into Carney's actions as Prime Minister, highlighting how he has dismantled key climate strategies and supported fossil fuel infrastructure. It discusses the repeal of the consumer carbon price, the weakening of methane regulations, and the delay of clean electricity regulations, all of which contribute to a growing sense of buyer's remorse among climate-anxious voters. The piece also examines Carney's support for new fossil fuel projects and his refusal to implement a windfall profits tax on oil and gas companies. It concludes by emphasizing the potential negative impact of these policies on Canada's emissions and the broader global climate efforts, while also acknowledging the challenges faced by the Canadian climate movement in countering these developments.
