Steven Guilbeault resigns over Mark Carney's climate policies

Former Canadian cabinet minister Steven Guilbeault>>> is resigning as a Member of Parliament, citing disillusionment with the Mark Carney>>> government's climate policies. This decision follows Carney's energy deal with Canada — Alberta>>> Premier Danielle Sell>>>, which includes support for a new bitumen pipeline and relaxed carbon pricing, policies Guilbeault strongly opposed. Guilbeault, a long-time environmental activist and co-founder of Équiterre>>>, had previously quit Carney's cabinet and publicly criticized the government's approach to climate action, including the repeal of the consumer carbon tax and the elimination of the EV sales mandate. His departure, alongside Jonathan Wilkinson>>>'s move to become Canada>>>'s ambassador to the European Union>>>, highlights a significant shift in environmental leadership within the Canadian government and internal divisions within the Canada — Liberal Party of Canada>>>. Carney and other ministers have acknowledged Guilbeault's contributions while defending the government's pragmatic approach to climate policy.
