Guilbeault Leaves Liberals in Climate Crossfire

Steven Guilbeault’s resignation as a key Liberal climate voice has ignited fierce debate over Canada’s environmental future under Prime Minister Mark Carney, with critics accusing the government of pivoting toward fossil fuels and away from bold climate action. Green Party Leader Elizabeth May mourned his departure, calling him a courageous ally and questioning Carney’s evolving stance, especially after his UN climate envoy days. Carney defends his strategy, touting clean tech and infrastructure while trying to reconcile energy independence with decarbonization through carbon capture. But environmental groups like Greenpeace warn this is a dangerous shift, with Keith Stewart calling Guilbeault’s exit a wake-up call—and former ministers and Bloc Québécois leader Yves-François Blanchet echo that Canada is now signaling a retreat from climate leadership, prioritizing oil and gas over public interest.
