After becoming Trudeau’s climate minister, Guilbeault was a prolific supporter and architect of many of the climate policies that came to define the previous government’s vision — many of which were abandoned on Thursday in Mark Carney’s deal with Alberta Premier Danielle Smith.

This afternoon, I informed the Prime Minister of my decision to resign as Minister of Canadian Identity and Culture, Minister responsible for Official Languages, Minister of Nature and Parks Canada, as well as his Lieutenant in Quebec.

You can find my full statement below.

Private capital wasn't lining up to build a pipeline before this deal, & private capital won't be lined up to build one after.

I agree, on one level, this is really smart politics; give Smith everything she wanted, then stand back & watch as nothing happens.

The optics, on the other hand...

Mark Carney managed to trade a pipeline that will never get built for meaningful progress on industrial carbon pricing and electricity interties — both of which will get more wind and solar built.

There is no political, economic or environmental case for even pretending to consider Northern Gateway pipeline.
Mark Carney has given a huge with to Danielle Smith while reviving the environmental conflicts of Stephen Harper.
This is a huge mistake.

Aah, yes! This strategy works well here. 🤣
One of my teens tried to walk me when my favourite human was working. I don't want anyone thinking that my fav human can shirk her responsibilities, so I did a #WontWalkWednesday combined with a #WontLookWednesday . Not sure they got the message. How should I escalate pals?

Wordsworth in Waterloo, Epic in Hamilton, Type in Toronto are good. Fanfare in Stratford always has a half-dozen things I didn't know I needed. Bakka in Toronto is a unique F/SF resource in the country and has the best staff. Woolf and Co is new here in Galt but seems solid.
