VANCOUVER – Un changement de cap majeur s’impose si le Canada veut atteindre ses objectifs en matière de réduction des émissions de gaz à effet de serre, selon un nouveau rapport du géologue d’expérience David Hughes. 

À l’approche du Sommet du G7 qui se tiendra à la fin du mois, le Canada et les États-Unis sont les seuls pays du G7 qui n’ont pas réduit leurs émissions depuis la signature de l’Accord de Paris en 2016. En fait, le Canada a enregistré sa plus forte augmentation d’émissions pendant cette période. 

VANCOUVER - A stark change in direction is needed if Canada is to meet its emissions-reduction targets, says a new report by veteran earth scientist David Hughes. 

Going into the G7 Summit later this month, Canada and the US are the only G7 countries that have not reduced emissions since signing the 2016 Paris Accord. In fact, Canada has shown the greatest emissions increase during this time. 

Halifax, NS— The Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives-Nova Scotia with the Housing for All Working Group released the report, Keys to a housing secure future for all Nova Scotians today.

VANCOUVER – Thousands of non-domestic groundwater users across BC risk losing their historic water rights if they fail to apply for licences before a fast-approaching deadline, warn two former senior provincial government employees.

TORONTO – With licenses for more than 30,000 long-term care beds set to expire in 2025 and 15,000 new beds in the works, a group of eminent public policy experts is calling on Queen’s Park to develop them all as public non-profit beds as a first step in “an orderly and phased reduction of for-profit long-term care in Ontario.”

VANCOUVER - Despite Canada’s climate change commitments, the country’s “big six” banks continue to finance and support expansion of fossil fuel industries, says a new Corporate Mapping Project report released today. 

The extent of the banks’ support since the oil price collapse in 2014 shows how that this backing hinders Canada’s progress on reducing emissions, report author and academic Donald Gutstein writes.
