For years, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has been framing the federal race as a “carbon tax election.” But then Mark Carney became the Liberal Leader and Prime Minister and “axed the tax” for him, setting the consumer carbon price to zero.Now, Poilievre is targeting another federal carbon tax – the one on the industry's largest emitters. It's part of a broader shift in this election toward energy sovereignty. Against the backdrop of U.S. President Donald Trump's ongoing threats to Canada's economy, there's been a surge in public and political support for domestic oil and gas projects.Today, The Globe's Adam Radwanski, a columnist who covers climate policy, is on the show. He'll walk us through the ongoing political fight over carbon pricing, why we're suddenly seeing more support for pipelines, and the cost of slowing Canada's efforts against climate change.Questions?

Matt speaks with Franco Terrazzano about the carbon tax within the broader context of government spending, taxation, and fiscal responsibility in Canada. They discuss the impact of high government debt, the role of the federal budget, and the long-term consequences of deficit spending. Terrazzano critiques the federal carbon tax, arguing that it places an unnecessary burden on Canadians while failing to achieve its intended environmental goals, and points to some glaring instances of hypocrisy on the part of its supporters.

April 4, 2025 - The BC government cancels the carbon tax but faces tough questions about gas prices and climate change. The premier backtracks on an unprecedented anti-tariff bill that would have given him wartime powers, as the province tries to keep up with U.S. President Donald Trump. And, a look at BC's role in the federal election. In audio podcast extras, a look at the new centre party called Centre BC and a discussion about the province's first review of a health authority and its decision to hire health policy insider Dr. Penny Ballem to the job. Host Rob Shaw is joined by Jillian Oliver and Jeff Ferrier. Brought to you by Uber Canada.

The White House says President Donald Trump is with his team – making final decisions on which countries to tariff and how high those tariffs will be. The actual announcement will come on Wednesday afternoon. Some senators are hoping to get the tariffs against Canada blocked – they are arguing the fentanyl crisis is not being fueled at Canada's border.And: An annual U.S. list of global trade irritants – now includes Quebec's language laws as a barrier to American businesses. The list also says Canada's plan to reduce the use of plastics is a hurdle.Also: The federal consumer carbon tax is essentially gone. The rate has been set at zero. The tax had been a major issue the conservatives were planning to use against the Liberals during this election. How do the elimination of the tax, and the rebate people were receiving, affect consumers?Plus: The Conservative leader talks “biological clocks”, Myanmar's junta is being accused of blocking international aid to the earthquake zone, Premier Danielle Smith defends recent trips to the United States, and more.

B.C.'s NDP government has repealed the consumer carbon tax after a marathon debate in the legislature. B.C. Premier David Eby says the price at the pumps should drop by 17 cents. Will it happen? Economist Ross Hickey joins the show to talk about it.

Carbon pricing is a climate solution, but also a political football. Now that an election is underway and the consumer carbon tax has been scrapped, could the federal industrial price on carbon be the next wedge issue? Kate Ervine from Halifax's Saint Mary's University helps us go beyond slogans like “axe the tax” to understand what you should know about the industrial price on carbon.

One week after the budget and a few days into a federal election campaign, Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe made a new commitment. Moe pledged to eliminate its provincial industrial carbon tax. Mirroring a campaign promise from the Conservative Party Leader Pierre Poilievre. Our political panel looks into the timing of Moe's pledge.

Former Republican U.S. congressman Bob Inglis offers a conservative perspective on climate solutions in discussion with Penn climatologist Michael Mann. --- Politically conservative and concerned about climate change? In this special episode of the Energy Policy Now podcast, Penn climatologist Michael Mann talks with Bob Inglis, former Republican Congressman from South Carolina and current executive director of RepublicEN.org, about bridging the partisan climate divide. In a wide-ranging conversation recorded live during Energy Week at Penn 2025 at the University of Pennsylvania, Mann and Inglis discuss a conservative view on climate change, how conservative messaging on climate has evolved over time, and how common solutions might be found in an era of partisan climate divide. Inglis also offers his view on carbon pricing and strategies to reign in carbon emissions in the U.S. The conversation is moderated by Sanya Carley, faculty director of the Kleinman Center for Energy Policy. Bob Inglis is a former U.S. representative for South Carolina’s 4th congressional district. He is the executive director of RepublicanEn.org at George Mason University. Michael Mann is director of the Center for Science, Sustainability and the Media at the University of Pennsylvania. Sanya Carley is the Mark Alan Hughes faculty director of the Kleinman Center for Energy Policy. Important note on the conversation: Due to a technical problem, the first two minutes of Bob Inglis’ conversation are difficult to hear (from 5:40 to 7:40). We’ve transcribed those two minutes in the show notes, below, to make it easier to follow along. A full transcript of this and all Energy Policy Now podcasts is available on the Kleinman Center for Energy Policy website. Bob Inglis (5:40): Yeah, so for my first six years in Congress I said that climate change is nonsense. All I knew was that Al Gore was for it. And as much as I represented Greenville-Spartanburg South Carolina, that was the end of the inquiry. Okay, pretty ignorant. But that’s the way it was my first six years. Out of Congress six years, as you just heard, doing commercial real estate law again and then, had the opportunity to run for the same seat again before, our son had just turned 18, so he was voting for the first time, and he came to me and he said, dad, I’ll vote for you. But you’re going to clean up your act on the environment. His four sisters agreed, his mother agreed. New constituency, you know. So you got to respond to those people who can change the locks on the doors to your house, you know. So, very important to respond to these people. And so that was step one of a three step metamorphosis. Step two was going to Antarctica with the [House of Representatives] Science Committee and seeing the evidence in the iceberg drillings. Step three was another Science Committee trip and, um, really a spiritual awakening which seems improbable, right, on a godless Science Committee trip, because we all know that all scientists are godless. Right? Well, apparently not. Because this Aussie climate scientist was showing me the glories of the Great Barrier Reef. I could see he was worshipping God in what he was showing me. You know, St. Francis of Assisi supposedly said “preach the gospel at all times. If necessary use words.” So Scott Heron, this Aussie climate scientist who’s now become a very dear friend was doing that. I could see it in his eyes, it was written all over his face. It was in his excitement about what he was showing me. He was clearly worshipping God. So I knew we shared a world view. Forty words were spoken.

It's finally dead… or is it? New Liberal Leader Mark Carney reduced the carbon-tax rate to zero before calling an election, but as Franco Terrazzano tells Brian, there are still questions about what Canadians will pay. Terrazzano, federal director of the Canadian Taxpayers' Federation, is author of the new book Axing the Tax. He discusses how the federal Liberal government snuck in the carbon tax and managed to convince everyone (even Conservatives!) that it was popular, effective and affordable — until a new Tory leader, Pierre Poilievre, exposed the lie. Now Carney wants a tougher business carbon tax claiming it's necessary not for the environment, but for trade. And again, Terrazzano says, Liberals are hiding the truth about what it will really cost us all. (Recorded March 20, 2025) Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Statistics Canada has revealed inflation accelerated to 2.6 per cent across Canada following the federal tax break. Meanwhile, the federal government is scrapping the consumer carbon tax and the province is hiking B.C. Hydro rates. We ask viewers about their cost of living situations as Concordia University professor Moshe Lander joins the show to provide context.

Today, we're looking at Pierre Poilievre announcing a Conservative-led government would entirely scrap the carbon tax altogether, taking it a step further than the Liberals who have recently been attempting to reverse course on their signature policy — without removing it fully. Plus, Canada's new prime minister, Mark Carney, is in Europe where he's visiting allies and trying to drum up support to counter U.S. President Donald Trump. And finally, UFC star Conor McGregor visited the White House today for a meeting with Trump, speaking to reporters beforehand where he warned Ireland is facing a dire threat from mass migration as the country has seen local residents effectively replaced in some small towns and villages.

Mark Carney is on his first international trip since becoming Canada's prime minister.He's in Europe – trying to shore up support as Canada looks for new trading partners and stronger diplomatic backing for any battles with the U.S. He's also working to appeal to Canadian voters – with an election expected any day now.And: Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre says he would cancel the industrial carbon pricing put in by the Liberal government, and instead reward heavy industries that make products with lower emissions. He says the approach should be carrot, and not stick.Also: What did they learn? Five years after the COVID-19 lockdowns started, we talk to families about how their children were affected. Down: reading and math scores. Up: anxiety and absenteeism.Plus: Mapping the waters of the Antarctic, charities in Canada are being hurt by tariffs, and more.

With the consumer carbon tax set to be lifted in April, Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre promised Monday that he'd also remove the industrial carbon price on heavy emitters. Liberal Innovation Minister Anita Anand and Agriculture Minister Kody Blois defend the policy, and the Power Panel discusses whether Poilievre needs to pivot. Plus, Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew reacts to police identifying the second set of remains found in a landfill search as Marcedes Myran.

They talk about how what Trudeau will be best remembered for looks pretty weird today, in an era of global upheaval. They also talk about some of the buzz around his scandals. We expect that won't go away for a while.They end up by recapping a bit of the Trump madness down south. Doug Ford tried to get tough. It didn't stick. Portugal makes an interesting decision. And we keep seeing some interesting signs of worry about Trump even from people quite close to the president. Matt proposes a strategy for fighting back, and Jen gives it an, ahem, unfortunate name. You'll have to listen.

Today, we're looking at President Donald Trump's statement that tariffs on Canada and Mexico will come into place starting on February 1. With less than 24 hours to go, we'll look at what happens next. Plus, top Liberal leadership contender Mark Carney officially stated he'd drop the consumer carbon tax — a flagship policy of the Trudeau Liberals. But don't get too excited, Carney claimed it would just be 'big polluters' footing the bill instead. And finally, with a trade war potentially kicking off on Saturday, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith is calling for cooler heads to prevail, encouraging Canada and the US to work together to build prosperity.

In this episode of the How to Protect the Ocean podcast, host Angelo interviews Mark Zacharias, the Executive Director of Clean Energy Canada. The discussion centers around a rebuttal to an article published by the Fraser Institute, which claimed that renewable energy is going to be significantly more expensive than anticipated. Mark Zacharias addresses three main arguments presented in the Fraser Institute article: Renewable Energy Costs: The article suggests that renewable energy drives up costs and is intermittent, making electricity grids less reliable. Mark counters this by highlighting examples from jurisdictions like South Australia and Iowa, where the transition to renewable energy has led to lower electricity costs. He notes that in Alberta, recent renewable energy procurements have resulted in power bids as low as $0.05 per kilowatt hour, significantly cheaper than the retail electricity rates. Impact of Climate Policies on the Grid: The article argues that climate policies, such as EV sales mandates and natural gas bans, will overwhelm the electricity grid. Mark refutes this by explaining that EVs have a minimal impact on grid demand and can even contribute to grid stability through vehicle-to-grid technologies. He also emphasizes the efficiency of heat pumps compared to traditional heating methods, which can lead to overall energy savings. Electricity Imports and Structural Deficits: The article claims that Canada's reliance on electricity imports indicates a structural deficit. Mark clarifies that while British Columbia has imported power during droughts, this practice allows for strategic management of resources and has resulted in significant profits from power trading. He argues that imports can be beneficial and do not signify a failure of the grid. Throughout the conversation, Mark emphasizes the importance of updated information and the need to move beyond outdated narratives about renewable energy. He advocates for a future where clean energy is not only viable but also economically advantageous, countering the misconceptions perpetuated by the Fraser Institute's article.
