In his 2025 MOU with Danielle Smith, Mark Carney required a private backer for a new pipeline, approval of First Nations, a new carbon capture facility, and a price on Alberta's industrial carbon pollution of $130/tonne by 2030.

Today, Carney has no private backer, unanimous oppostion from First Nations, no carbon capture facility (which doesn't work anyway), and now he's backed down on the price of pollution, giving Alberta an extra ten years to pollute at artificially low costs.

Mark Carney is obviously a terrible negotiator.

Mark Carney's MOU with Danielle Smith required a private backer for his new pipeline, a carbon capture facility to reduce emissions at the source, deleting the tanker moratorium on the BC Coast, and a minimum price for industrial carbon emissions in Alberta of $130/tonne by 2030.

So far, Carney has no private backer for the pipeline, had the Pathways Alliance (now calling themselves the Oilsands Alliance) back out of carbon capture (which doesn't work anyway), faced nothing but determined resistance from Coastal First Nations in BC over the tanker moratorium, and now he's caving entirely on Alberta's industrial carbon emissions.

None of the conditions in his MOU have been met, and Mark Carney just keeps on retreating and backing down.

It was described as the "final nail in Canada’s climate action coffin."

Mark Carney backs down yet again, in exchange for nothing at all. If Carney can't even negotiate with Danielle Smith, how can he be expected to effectively represent Canada in negotiations with Donald Trump?

In Tokyo, the trend toward higher temperatures has become particularly pronounced in recent years. The number of people transported to hospitals for heatstroke between June and September 2025 was the highest since 2010, the earliest year for which statistics are available.

On the ground, support units from various parts of Japan were working frantically to put out the sparks of glowing embers. But the slightest breeze would start them smoldering again, and burned acreage just kept growing.

Back in 2011, Otsuchi was hit by the tsunami of the Great East Japan Earthquake as well as the fire that ensued.

This past week must have felt to the residents as if they were reliving that harrowing memory. A 7.7-magnitude quake struck off the Sanriku coast on April 20.

2026-04-24T00:47:59Z

Smoke from wildfires is a form of air pollution, carrying toxic gases like sulphur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide and carbon monoxide, as well as fine particulate matter. Other sources of air pollution, from car and truck exhaust to power plants and oil and gas facilities, are also hazardous to our health.

Air pollution can cause heart disease, strokes, chronic lung diseases and cancer. In Canada, federal research has found it contributes to about 17,400 premature deaths each year. In B.C., a nine-year-old died in 2023 after an asthma attack was made worse by wildfire smoke.

And that’s just one health impact of pollution and extreme weather.

Young Japanese people are the driving force behind a growing movement to protect Japan’s pacifist constitution from Prime Minister Takaichi's plans to alter it. Their movement gained further urgency on Tuesday, when Japan’s government scrapped a ban on exports of lethal weapons – a move seen as a direct challenge to the country’s postwar pacifism.
