Canadian provincial environment ministers from Alberta and Ontario have urged the federal government under Prime Minister Mark Carney to repeal Trudeau-era environmental and climate policies, arguing that these regulations hinder economic growth and delay project development. The ministers sent a letter calling for the abandonment of legislation they believe undermines competitiveness. In response, Natural Resources Minister Tim Hodgson indicated that while he did not commit to immediately scrapping these policies, the newly adopted major projects bill could allow for their gradual repeal over time. Meanwhile, discussions continue around Canada's net zero climate strategy, with critics highlighting concerns about its economic impact and the role of corporate interests benefiting from government contracts. The debate reflects tensions between traditional environmentalism focused on ecosystem protection and the corporatized approach associated with net zero policies. Additionally, ConocoPhillips Canada Resources Corp. was recently registered by a consultant from Earnscliffe Strategy Group, underscoring ongoing developments in the energy sector. Other related issues include a pending First Nations water bill despite provincial opposition and anticipation of private sector decisions on the Pacific crude pipeline.
