Look how much Canadians hate the United States now It’s not just about the trade war. Nearly half of America’s neighbors to the north now think the U.S. is a bigger threat to world peace than Russia.

I will never trust Americans again even though I still consider many as friends. But at the societal and political level, the U.S. is toxic.

The strongest predictor of climate action is whether people talk about climate change — not how much they know, how worried they are, or who they vote for.

Ottawa plotting a high stakes clean energy strategy After dismantling many of the climate policies put in place by the previous government, Prime Minister Mark Carney has quietly directed his government to craft a national electricity strategy.

In Davos, Carney delivered a speech which will go down in history, with overtones of Churchill's 1936 speech about appeasement. Churchill applied this to Hitler’s expansion, Carney to economic coercion and great‑power rivalry. Further delay in confronting Trump = fewer choices and bad outcomes.
