Mark Carney: climate friend or foe?
John Woodside and Max Fawcett from Canada’s National Observer dive into the debate surrounding Mark Carney's climate commitments. They analyze Carney's past warnings and whether his recent policy decisions, like scrapping the carbon tax and pausing electric vehicle mandates, signal a betrayal of the climate movement. The conversation also explores Carney's industrial carbon pricing strategy, the implications of Stephen Guilbeault's resignation, and whether Carney is navigating a pragmatic path toward long-term environmental goals.
