Canada's carbon tax has been axed, so what's next in the fight against climate change?

Canada’s carbon tax has been a defining policy in the fight against climate change, but with rising costs and shifting political tides, the tax has been axed. In this episode of Government Policy Unpacked, I dive into why the carbon tax was introduced, how it was meant to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and what led to being scrapped. But what’s next? We explore whether taxing heavy emitters—a model pioneered in Alberta—could be a more effective and less burdensome way to cut emissions while keeping industries competitive. With the federal election on the horizon, political leaders are debating Canada’s approach to emissions reduction. Should we prioritize large industrial polluters over consumer-focused taxation? How do Canada’s climate policies compare to global trends? Join me, Rupesh Patel, as I unpack the economics, environmental impact, and political stakes of Canada’s next steps of addressing climate change. Hit follow, leave a review, and stay informed as we break down the policies shaping our future!
