Althia Raj: Carney government considers lifting ban on offshore oil and gas exploration in the Western Arctic
The Carney government confirmed it is considering ‘potentially lifting the current moratorium on Arctic offshore oil and gas exploration in the Western Arctic.’

Carney must know something about climate change
he doesn't want to disclose to his climate sheeple
supporters. He might have decided that it is inevitable
the world would be destroyed by impending climate
catastrophe after his term is over. It is only for good
measure to promote fossil fuel to improve our living
standard before we finally face the doom.

or he knows the climate con has failed
he just can not state this publicly for political reasons
Of course there is evidence. The issue is whether Carney-sexuals accept the evidence.
All his oil projects require carbon capture and storage “investments”.
Take a wild guess which company offers these solutions?
Evidence of Carney's climate hypocrisy is more abundant than
evidence of his commitment to carbon emission reduction.
Would that satisfy you?
Carney Declares Climate Change the ‘Tragedy of the Horizon’
Oct 05, 2015
Financial crises and falling living standards will be the result unless the world’s leading countries do more to disclose and reduce their greenhouse gas emissions, Bank of England Governor Mark Carney told Lloyd’s of London in a speech last week.
“Climate change is the tragedy of the horizon,” Carney said. “We don’t need an army of actuaries to tell us that the catastrophic impacts of climate change will be felt beyond the traditional horizons of most actors, imposing a cost on future generations that the current generation has no direct incentive to fix.”
He explained that “the horizon for monetary policy extends out to two to three years. For financial stability it is a bit longer, but typically only to the outer boundaries of the credit cycle, about a decade. In other words, once climate change becomes a defining issue for financial stability, it may already be too late.”
Carney pointed to three possible connections between climate change and global financial stability: physical risks, including insurance claims for floods and storms, compensation claims for climate losses against polluters held responsible, and transition risks during the adjustment to a lower-carbon economy. He said the G20 meeting in Turkey in November will likely see proposals for tougher disclosure standards to help investors assess climate risk.
“The challenges currently posed by climate change pale in significance compared with what might come,” he stressed. “The far-sighted amongst you are anticipating broader global impacts on property, migration, and political stability, as well as food and water security. So why isn’t more being done to address it?”

Fast forward to 2026 from 2015. Carney has clearly seen the light.
He now understands that financial crisis and falling living standard
will be the result of reduction of carbon emission.

Former environment ministers accuse Dabrusin of lying about meeting climate targets

Environment Minister Julie Dabrusin is being accused of lying by two of her predecessors for saying Canada is still committed to its Paris targets.
Dabrusin is in Antalya, Turkey for COP31, the annual United Nations climate conference.
In an interview with The Canadian Press before the trip, Dabrusin said Canada is "absolutely committed" to its Paris Accord climate commitments. It's a line the government has maintained despite every report and study over the past 18 months saying Canada is unlikely to meet those Paris targets.
Former environment minister Catherine McKenna said the claim that Canada is still committed to its targets is "factually untrue."
"Canada now has zero chance of meeting its 2030 Paris commitment and has no path to meet net zero by 2050 (and this is before any new oilsands or LNG)," McKenna, who is also attending COP31, posted on X.
Speaking to The Canadian Press from COP31 on Friday, former environment minister Steven Guilbeault said Dabrusin's claim to conference delegates that Canada is still committed to its Paris targets "defies reason."
"I think in general you should tell the truth, and I think as a politician we — I guess I'm no longer a politician — but I always felt that I needed to be genuine with Canadians," Guilbeault said, pointing to the government's modelling and reports from the Canadian Climate Institute.
"(Dabrusin) knows that, and she's seen those analyses. For her to claim that Canada is still committed to meeting the Paris targets, it's disingenuous and it should have no place in politics."
Under Prime Minister Stephen Harper, Ottawa promised to bring Canada’s emissions to 30 per cent below 2005 levels.
In 2021, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government increased that target to between 40 and 45 per cent and set a goal of hitting net-zero by 2050.
According to the latest government figures, as of 2024, Canada had only achieved a 10.3 per cent reduction from 2005 levels, with total emissions down 78 million tonnes in 21 years — making it the worst-performing country in the G7. The Canadian Climate Institute's modelling suggests Canada will not achieve net-zero by 2050.
Prime Minister Mark Carney said in June that Canada's emissions were likely to rise over the next few years, suggesting Canada has abandoned its 2030 commitments — even if his government hasn't formally admitted it.
Jerry DeMarco, Canada's environment commissioner, reported last month that the government's latest projections indicate Canada will only achieve a emissions reduction of 28 per cent by 2030, taking into account the rollbacks in federal climate policy over the past 18 months.
DeMarco's report cited the cancellation of the consumer carbon price, the two billion trees program, the oil and gas emissions cap, the electric vehicle mandate and the low-carbon fuel procurement program. The report also cited the decision to weaken the industrial carbon price.
Carney said in June the climate policies introduced under the Trudeau government were too expensive and divisive.
Keep fighting the fight for dirty, expensive power to make Russia, Saudi Arabia and OPEC rich, larue.
That is an unbelievably stupid view
Rather my position is to continue to push for recognition of the scientific truth and keep fighting an evil false narrative
You have been informed multiple times that renewables do not have a snowballs chance in hell of displacing fossil fuel on any meaningful scale
Who gets rich delivering fossil Fuels is completely irrelevant as you and hundreds of millions will die without them, as sure as the sun rises tomorrow
you completely ignore the facts you know to be true , yet continue to spread, nonsense propaganda
And somehow you are unable to understand why you are viewed as comic relief or why nobody takes you seriously
go sit in the corner.
