One of the worst ministers in Canadian history.
The fact that a Minister’s name is a household name in Canada is a sure sign of that.
Dont let the door hit you on the way out. Wouldn’t want the imprint of your giant asshole on the doors of Parliament.

I respect Guilbeault standing by his principles, but he is on the wrong side of this fight.
The simple fact is that catastrophic climate change is not going to be averted, it is simply far too late. It doesn’t matter whether Canada meets its 2050 climate goals or not, because Canada is a bit actor in climate change, responsible for only about 1.5% of global emissions. What matters is what China and India do, and they are not going to sacrifice growth and the opportunity for a higher standard of living to save the planet (and before anyone tries to say China is some kind of paragon of virtue when it comes to fighting climate change, [read this](https://www.reuters.com/business/environment/chinas-new-carbon-metrics-erased-half-emissions-growth-reported-2020-2025-report-2026-05-27/)).
Averting catastrophic climate change, to the extent it was ever even possible, would have required heroic efforts far beyond anything that was ever seriously contemplated. Instead people like Guilbeault chose to believe that relatively minor measures that avoided any serious disruption to Western lifestyles would be sufficient. It was performative rather effective, and in many ways it was really more about easing the consciences of upper middle class Westerners than making a serious effort to control global warming, and accepting the very real costs that would have entailed.
Given the foregoing, Carney is making the right choice. There is no point sacrificing economic development to pursue an unachievable goal, especially in a world that is growing more dangerous by the day, and where many of the assumptions that used to underpin the stability of our world view, including our relationship with our closest neighbour, have been overturned.
