As MOU negotiations between Canada and Alberta seem to be nearing the finish line, Rick Smith separates fact from fiction when it comes to industrial carbon pricing—Canada’s most important climate policy 🔽 https://ow.ly/NxAv50YYob9

Big announcement that further underlines how critical it is that Canada makes its system of industrial carbon pricing more cohesive and effective ⬇️ www.energyconnects.com/news/renewab...

We were thrilled to meet in person with Shianne McKay from Centre for Indigenous Environmental Resources this week in Winnipeg. We want to thank her and the CIER team for their long-standing partnership on the Indigenous Perspectives case studies program.

There’s a lot of fiction out there about industrial carbon pricing in Canada. Get the facts in our latest op-ed from @rjcsmith.bsky.social. ⬇️ nationalnewswatch.com/2026/05/06/f...

Electrification will test Canada’s grids—but more clean power in the system can limit exposure to price shocks. Our latest analysis shows how moving off gas power can insulate against price volatility. ⬇️ https://ow.ly/ZSzb50YUHNK

Your daily reminder: stronger industrial carbon pricing reduces emissions at low cost. An effective price of $130/tonne by 2030 is reasonable, and would only cost oilsands producers a Timbit per barrel on average. www.theglobeandmail.com/business/art...

Great discussion with Minister of Environment and Climate Change @mlamikemoyes.bsky.social on Manitoba’s work to address emissions, get prepared for climate impacts, and build a cleaner economy.

Wonderful to meet with Premier Wab Kinew to discuss action building a cleaner economy with a focus on affordability with all Institute staff in Winnipeg. Grateful for Manitoba’s ongoing leadership in this area.

🧵The Fort McMurray wildfire remains one of the worst climate-driven disasters in Canadian history. 10 years later, the risks have only grown. The Insurance Bureau of Canada is calling for more action to better protect communities ⬇️ www.ibc.ca/news-insight...

🧵Congrats to Hon. Jonathan Wilkinson on his new role as Canada’s EU ambassador. His contributions to climate policy during his tenure in cabinet include the Net-Zero Emissions Accountability Act, the Clean Electricity strategy, advancing the transition to EVs, and investments in biodiversity.

Up-to-date, accessible flood risk info is critical for empowered decision making. The new national Flood Risk Finder is an important tool for Canadians in understanding, preparing for and adapting to flooding as climate change intensifies. 👇 https://ow.ly/nBY250YSsQE

Emissions from households—from personal transport to home heating—make up 20% of Canada’s emissions. Fortunately, there’s a solution that can cut emissions and protect people from volatile fossil fuel costs: electrification.⚡️ Read our latest⬇️🧵 climateinstitute.ca/how-governme...

Insurance costs are rising rapidly in Ontario and across the country as extreme weather events become increasingly common. “Eight of the worst years for insurance payouts have occurred in the past decade, according to IBC statistics.” https://ow.ly/xMmt50YQOh0

“All we get from the Trump administration is this drumbeat that fossil fuels are the future. It’s very easy to let that overwhelm us as Canadians—to assume that’s correct, and it’s not. The actual economic opportunity is in decarbonization.”➡️🎯Rick Smith https://ow.ly/x4aZ50YQL8x

Last year’s devastating wildfire season was the second worst in Canadian history and cost half a billion dollars in Manitoba alone. 🔽 https://thenarwhal.ca/manitoba-wildfire-costs/

Canada played a key role in building the Paris Agreement’s carbon trading system, but has yet to define how to use it. It’s time for 🇨🇦 to open new clean energy markets and rethink its approach to international climate finance. Read our latest blog ⬇️ https://ow.ly/tqPr50YPsYO

Some of Canada’s top trading partners already have industrial carbon prices in line with the Canada-Alberta MOU ($130/tonne): EU: C$120 Norway: C$120 Switzerland: C$119 UK: C$85 Our new analysis of the MOU shows strong carbon markets can drive big emissions cuts⬇️ 440megatonnes.ca/insight/cana...
