EDITORIAL Canada loses credibility on emission reductions IF there were any doubt that Canada is falling behind on climate action, the latest emissions data should put it to rest. The federal government’s annual greenhouse gas inventory, released with little public attention last week, shows emissions declined by just 0.3 per cent in 2024. That is not a meaningful reduction. It is a stall. After more than a decade of promises to bend the emissions curve, Canada is barely nudging it. Total emissions now sit at 685 megatonnes — only 10.3 per cent below 2005 levels. Meanwhile, the country has committed to cutting emissions by 40 to 45 per cent by 2030. Closing that gap would require reducing another 227 megatonnes in six years. Nothing in the current trajectory suggests that will happen. The muted rollout of the report only underscores the problem. Not long ago, these annual inventories were treated as major events, complete with news conferences and messaging designed to highlight progress. This time, there was no announcement from Environment Minister Julie Dabrusin, no attempt to explain the near standstill and no acknowledgment that Canada is drifting further off course. Instead, the minister’s office pointed to future measures and long-term strategies, arguing the report demonstrates Canada can grow its economy while reducing emissions. That argument grows thinner with each passing year of minimal progress. The data show why. While emissions declined in sectors such as electricity, transportation and buildings, those gains were offset by increases in oil and gas and agriculture. The oil and gas sector alone accounts for about 30 per cent of Canada’s total emissions and remains the single largest obstacle to meeting national targets. The policy backdrop is also shifting in ways that raise further doubts. The 2024 data predates Prime Minister Mark Carney’s recent decisions to cancel the consumer carbon price and strike a deal with Alberta that could lead …
The Winnipeg Free Press isn't going to stop talking about climate change. And neither am I.

Energy security, not more gas tax cuts LAURA CAMERON IN the wake of U.S. and Israeli attacks on Iran, oil and gas prices have surged, triggering what’s widely expected to be the worst energy crisis on record. Amid ongoing affordability challenges, governments are reaching for policy tools to soften the blow for consumers. Now, Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew suggested that another gas tax cut may be under consideration to temper the effects of high gas prices. In the past few weeks, the controversy surrounding the province’s 2024 gas tax “holiday” has been revived after the premier provocatively declared the policy to be “the most important thing that a provincial government ever did” in Manitoba. From an affordability perspective, a gas tax cut has major drawbacks. It only benefits drivers, disproportionately those with multiple and/or large vehicles. The savings provided by a gas cut are dwarfed by the rising prices, which the policy does nothing to address. And it encourages more fossil fuel use at a time when the insecurity and price volatility of oil and gas lay bare the need to reduce our dependence on them as quickly as possible. The irony is, the volatility of fossil fuel markets have been a primary driver of unaffordability over the last five years. When Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022, oil prices skyrocketed, triggering record high inflation and cost of living. The Centre for Future Work calculated that between 2022 and 2024, inflated fossil fuel prices cost Canadian households an extra $12,000 on average. For a period in 2021-2022, high energy prices were responsible for a third of Canada’s overall inflation rate, according to the International Institute for Sustainable Development. The high prices we feel now at the pump are only the tip of the iceberg. The International Energy Agency has warned that this oil and gas crisis will be worse than those of 1973, 1979, and 2022 combined. And the price of fossil gas that about half of Manitobans still rely on…

Pierre says he would end corporate gifting (doubt it), #CarbonCarney is handing it out like it's Christmas.
Mark Carney also has more conflicts of interest than Donald Trump. Perhaps you should provide something tangible, not just Carney made talking points.

Canadians:
Many of fast track projects introduced by #MethaneMark benefits the fossil fuel industry. In his first 100 days as Prime Minister, #CarbonCarney heard from fossil fuel industry lobbyist at a rate of roughly once every three days. In January 2026, the gov't met w/ ff lobbyists 98 times.

So @mark-carney.bsky.social cheering squad, have you realized yet who #CarbonCarney works for. It is definitely not us.
Always bows to the fossil fuel industry & Donald Trump
Goodbye EV sales mandate, hello purchase rebates. Carney shakes up Canada's auto industry

4. SELF INTEREST
#CarbonCarney had stake in “more than 500 companies, including Brookfield stock options.” Is his push for CCS & LNG just a mere coincidence? Didn’t he infer he didn’t meet Brookfield execs as PM? But, alas, he did.

Bring it fucking on @mark-carney.bsky.social
A real leader? I hope you said this in jest. There are a lot of thieves in Ottawa, but Mr. "I have no conflicts of interest" has a PhD in it. He's an economist, what did people think they were going to get. #MethaneMark #CarbonCarney

And this part isn't Trudeau, it's #CarbonCarney.
If project costs exceed $21.4 billion — and that’s likely — you’re on the hook for it. Ottawa JUST UNCONDITIONALLY GUARANTEED A NEW $10,000,000,000 LOAN FROM A NUMBER OF CANADIAN BANKS

You mean Fossil Fuel Superhero #CarbonCarney?
The problems he is seeking to solve involves his own self interest which is neoliberal capitalist greed.

I am following you girl! Have you noticed how many #CarbonCarney aka #MethaneMark cheerleaders are out there? They elected a neoliberal capitalist wanker banker who greenwashes fossil fuels. His projects benefit many foreign investors involved in the fossil fuel industry. It is sickening.

Reckless, unnecessary, unprofitable, environmentally disastrous & will throw climate action out the window. Decarbonized oil/pipelines aren't a thing. Bitumen is the dirtiest energy product in the world. LNG is not a low emission energy source. Why would anyone believe greenwasher #CarbonCarney?

Following. I call them #CarbonCarney (aka #MethaneMark) Cheerleaders. I also see a lot "We need it to build a green future) or "jobs, the economy, being the while transforming into the Canadian "energy superpower" skipping down the green brick road to an utopian land of green.

I call him #CarbonCarney #MethaneMark and now will add #CarnageCarney to the list. I am sure I can photoshop something appropriate for #CarnageCarney.

Since ghg emissions from LNG is greater than that of coal and #CarbonCarney refers to LNG as clean, I conclude #MethaneMark is a greenwasher.

If I hear that LNG is clean energy, I am going to vomit. Canadians find politicians more reliable than peer-reviewed science. PM #CarbonCarney is a greenwasher. In addition to emissions derived from the production of LNG, there is the matter of all the freaking uncapped wells all over AB.

I wish it was international. I would offer up Greenwasher #CarbonCarney like a sacrificial lamb to the Climate God.

Rather than envision a sustainable economy, #CarbonCarney is going to continue fossil fuel (LNG) energy (under the guise of it being clean 🤣🤣) to other countries. That does nothing aside from making us look like the good guys. It doesn't do anything for climate.

It’s like everything that comes out of his gob. Don’t people find it odd that greenwasher #CarbonCarney Got rid of the anti-greenwashing law. Isn’t that just so convenient. I expected this budget. Canadians elected a banker.
