Carney’s Climate Contradictions
with Mitchell Beer, Sept 24, 2026
Mark Carney rose to power as Canada’s 24th Prime Minister in the midst of
both external and internal threats to Canadian sovereignty.
Prior to becoming PM, Carney garnered a reputation as a champion of
aggressive public and private climate action in support of a managed
transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy. Since attaining power,
however, Carney’s actions have led many to conclude that he has
abandoned his previous climate commitments.
Well has he or hasn’t he? Or, as some argue, is it more complicated than
that?
This PH episode features a conversation about Mark Carney’s Climate
Contractions with Mitchell Beer, the editor of The Energy Mix, a go-to
source of information on all things happening on the energy and climate
fronts.

Can We Afford Ford’s Costly Nuclear Buildout?
This episode of Planet Haliburton takes a hard look at Premier Doug Ford’s massive new $300 - $400 billion expansion of nuclear power while tax and ratepayers are still paying off the debt from the last one.
That 1980s-1990s nuclear build-out came close to bankrupting Ontario Hydro, resulting in its breakup up and partial privatization.
Electricity rates are already being dramatically increased as Ford passes the interest costs associated with his nuclear expansion program directly onto our electrical bills - before his new reactors even start generating power.
With renewable energy costs falling to a fraction of the cost of nuclear while the climate emergency gets worse by the day, me and my guest, “Seniors for Climate Action Now SCAN!)” energy analyst, David Roberston, ask “Can We Afford Ford’s Costly Nuclear Buildout?”

‘Metabolic Rifts’ with Ian Angus,
Animated by advances in Earth System Science, ecosocialist
researchers have been rediscovering important insights from
an older ecological framework called ‘metabolic rift theory’.
This theory emphasizes that all life on earth lives in a dynamic two-
way relationship with the earth’s biosphere - that thin layer of living
matter created by life to sustain life - that’s exhibiting such increasing signs
of distress these days.
To explore the underlying causes of this distress, my guest on this episode
of Planet Haliburton is Ian Angus, author of the 2026 book ‘Metabolic Rifts:
Capitalism’s Assault on the Earth System’.
