Prime Minister Mark Carney reversed key environmental policies, slowing Canada’s emissions cuts to 21% by 2030.

Prime Minister Mark Carney, who took office in April 2025 after Justin Trudeau’s resignation, reversed several environmental policies, including suspending the carbon tax and pausing electric vehicle mandates, while maintaining a commitment to climate action through pragmatic strategies. Canada’s emissions reduction trajectory now shows a 21% cut by 2030—well below the 40–45% target—down from 34% under Trudeau. Carney criticized prior regulations as ineffective, advocating for results-driven approaches. Meanwhile, Liberal MP Bruce Fanjoy, who defeated Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre in the 2025 election, said the campaign is over and he’s now focused on serving his Carleton constituents on issues like affordability, immigration, and public service. He keeps a spray-painted pair of sneakers in a glass case as a symbolic “Stanley Cup” and remains committed to positive discourse despite online harassment. Fanjoy criticized Poilievre’s return to Parliament via a by-election, calling it a democratic imperfection and noting Poilievre’s failure to engage with his riding.
