Will the Liberal government — somewhat refreshed with a few new faces — help reset Ottawa's strained relationship with the West? That's the central question in this episode of West of Centre, as host Kathleen Petty is joined by former Liberal MP and leadership contender Martha Hall Findlay, Saskatchewan political columnist Murray Mandryk, and Calgary Sun writer Ricky Leong for a wide-ranging conversation about federal-provincial fault lines, cabinet signals and the spectre of separatism.The panel unpacks early reaction to Prime Minister Mark Carney's new cabinet — particularly the appointment of Tim Hodgson as energy minister, a move broadly welcomed by industry insiders. Hodgson's background suggests a more pragmatic approach, but skepticism lingers, especially with former environment minister Steven Guilbeault still at the cabinet table, now overseeing culture and identity. The bigger mystery may be whether he'll join Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe for an ATV ride.The deeper tension, though, lies in Alberta's newly lowered threshold for citizen-led referendums — widely seen as paving the way for a non-binding vote on independence. The panel explores how the strategy may allow Premier Danielle Smith to deflect accountability while channeling public anger. Still, there's broad consensus that most Albertans and Saskatchewanians aren't angry at Canada — they're frustrated with the last federal government. Whether this becomes a moment for renewal or rupture will depend on what kind of leadership emerges on both sides of the divide.
Today, we're looking at Prime Minister Mark Carney's Trump-style signing of a middle-class tax cut, a promise new Finance Minister Francois-Phillipe Champagne said would be the Liberals' top priority when Parliament returns on May 26. Plus, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre spoke about the importance of pipeline development to Canada's economy and warned Carney's decision to keep climate radical Steven Guilbeault in cabinet was further antagonizing provinces like Alberta and Saskatchewan. And finally, the case of hundreds of ostriches facing a cull order from the Canadian Food Inspection Agency is going viral online. Rebel News reporter Drea Humphrey has been covering the story and is headed to the remote farm.

Le ministre de l'Environnement et des changements climatiques, Steven Guilbeault, serait écarté de son poste, selon Radio-Canada. Il deviendrait le ministre responsable du Patrimoine, des Langues, des Sports et de la Conservation de la nature. «La priorité pour Mark Carney c'est de comprendre Donald Trump. Comment approcher la bête? Comment parler au monarque? [...] On le sait que le rapport entre les individus compte. M.

When it comes to energy and climate, Canada is a key player and a land of contrasts. It gets more than 80% of its electricity from low-carbon sources and has a hefty carbon tax. It's also a major oil and gas producer, and has resources for the metals and minerals needed for a clean energy transition. As the urgency of the climate crisis grows, the Canadian government has committed to accelerate its climate goals. At the same time, the importance of oil and gas to the Canadian economy, along with the thorny politics of climate, makes reducing its reliance on fossil fuels difficult. Canada also faces challenges balancing energy production and critical mineral mining with a commitment to upholding the rights and sovereignty of First Nations communities. How is the Canadian government planning to meet its climate goals? What would a just energy transition look like for the country? And what are its leaders hoping to achieve at COP28? This week host Jason Bordoff talks with Steven Guilbeault about recent developments in Canadian energy and climate policy, and what he is hoping to achieve at COP28. Guilbeault is Canada's Minister of Environment and Climate Change, and an elected member of Parliament. He previously served as Minister of Canadian Heritage. Prior to serving in Parliament, he was the senior director of Équiterre, Quebec's largest environmental organization, which he co-founded in 1993. He has also worked as a director and campaign manager for Greenpeace, and was a strategic advisor to Cycle Capital, a Canadian clean technology fund.

A CBC News investigation found people across Canada lived with unsafe indoor temperatures this summer – often for long stretches of time with no relief. Reporter Tara Carman shares stories of people who suffered, including a man who died – after his home was close to 30 degrees for several weeks. And, environment minister Steven Guilbeault says his role in government 'is not to make friends.' In this feature interview, host Laura Lynch asks Guilbeault if Canada is falling short in its efforts to prevent heat deaths and respond to wildfires – and asks about his relationship with Alberta, as tensions mount over a planned emissions cap on the oil and gas industry.
It's deadline day for the evacuation of an entire Canadian city as crews battle to control wildfires. Steven Guilbeault, Canada's minister for environment and climate change tell us "It is by far the worst forest fire season in our history" and that an area larger than Greece has been burnt. Also on the programme: at least 1,400 people have starved to death in Ethiopia's northern region of Tigray in recent months; and a nurse in Britain has been found guilty of murdering seven babies.

Steven Guilbeault, the convicted criminal that Trudeau appointed to cabinet, announced — to a foreign audience, of course — that he wants to phase out fossil fuels by 2050 — or earlier. That might sound very far away, but it's not. We're almost in 2024 — so imagine phasing out every natural gas stove and furnace, every barbecue, every car and truck, every ship and plane, every tractor and most power plants in the next 25 years. Just here in Canada, though. The rest of the world is going full tilt with fossil fuels. Here's a CNN story: "China is surging ahead with coal, a new report shows, rapidly approving and building new power plants despite its own promises to cut back on carbon as the world plunges ever deeper into the climate crisis. Last year, the country approved the highest number of new coal-fired power plants since 2015, according to the report, released Monday by the Center for Research on Energy and Clean Air (CREA) and the Global Energy Monitor (GEM).” NPR put it here: "China is building six times more new coal plants than other countries, report finds... Everybody else is moving away from coal and China seems to be stepping on the gas...We saw that China has six times as much plants starting construction as the rest of the world combined." That's not quite true that “everybody” is moving off coal. India isn't. Here's a headline from Bloomberg: "India Power Giant to Add More Coal Plants to Meet Soaring Demand." But here's another story that's related. In the news today from the CBC: Alberta filed 1st ever criminal charges against a carbon offset firm. Here's why they may not be the last 25 charges filed against company involved in auditing carbon offsets highlight regulatory challenges... For the first time ever, a Canadian province has filed criminal charges against a business for providing false information related to carbon offsets, a spokesperson for Alberta's Environment Ministry said, underscoring the sometimes murky activities of companies in a complicated, rapidly growing industry worth hundreds of millions of dollars annually. Carbon offsets are bought and sold under a trading system with governments putting a price on carbon dioxide emissions to compel companies to fight climate change. Since 2007, Alberta has run a mandatory carbon offset system for large emitters, such as oil and gas companies, landfills and food processing firms. If they produce more than their allotted levels of carbon dioxide, they must purchase credits to offset those emissions. The credits are generated by companies that reduce emissions by doing things like building wind farms or installing solar panels. To ensure accuracy, the credits are verified by third-party auditors. The Alberta litigation centres on the role of one of these third-party verifiers. But that's the thing. How do you know? How do you “audit” a carbon offset? How do you audit carbon at all? It's a natural element. It's in the air; it's what a great many things are made of. Hydrocarbons. Carbohydrates. Do you see the word in there? Carbon is one of the most common elements. It's in most of our food. It's in most parts of us as people. It's in the breath we exhale; it's what plants inhale. How do you even track it? You can't; you guess; you estimate, which is why it's such a beautiful scam. The whole industry is a fraud. It's a pixie dust thing. At least with crypto-currencies, you know if you have it or not — that's the one thing the blockchain is suitable for. You know if you have it. How do you know where a puff of carbon dioxide went? You don't; you can't, it's a joke, it's for suckers. This is why Justin Trudeau and Steven Guilbeault are shovelling 450 million dollars of it into the third world. I wonder what their kick-back is. But really: why is the province of Alberta going through the motions of pretending that the industry is a real thing, that carbon offsets are real, and that this one scammer is an outlier? They're all scammers. And it's no less of a scam when Alberta does it to itself than when Steven Guilbeault does it. GUEST: Chris Fleury, lawyer for former MPP Randy Hillier and MP Derek Sloan, working with the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms, have had charges dropped for the two for attending a rally against COVID lockdown measures in 2021.
Today, we're looking at the military's reaction to a Canadian Armed Forces soldier making an appearance alongside counter-protesters at an Ottawa gender ideology in education protest. Plus, Ezra Levant is suing Steven Guilbeault over the minister's decision to block him on Twitter. It sounds silly, but there's a good reason why this seemingly minor issue has made it's way to Federal Court. And finally, former Conservative leader Erin O'Toole is retiring from politics, but not before he made some parting remarks in the House of Commons that appeared to be directed at the party's new leader, Pierre Poilievre, and his supporters.
