Talking and DoingGoing into COP 26, Justin Trudeau talks a good game. But, Michael Harris writes, the truth is, the Liberal government’s spin machine is the only place Canada looks good on the climate file. Not that it has done nothing. It has done a lot. The carbon tax was an excellent place to start the battle against GHG emissions in this country, especially since the Conservatives still had their heads buried in the tar sands. But the fundamental problem with Liberal climate policy is that it is a tug-of-war between resource development and environmental protection, in which Justin Trudeau s... read more

COP26: why advanced countries must proportionately make by far the biggest cuts in carbon emissions–factual briefingThe COP26 conference on climate change is discussing an issue which will profoundly affect every person on our planet.
