David Suzuki Says Mark Carney Is Driving Canada ‘Into a Ditch’ with Shift on Climate
Suzuki said Carney is prioritizing economics over climate action after Canada scrapped key emissions measures and backed a new pipeline.
- David Suzuki told The Canadian Press he feels "wilfully blind" regarding Prime Minister Mark Carney's climate record, arguing the leader prioritizes economic value over environmental survival.
- Since taking office in March 2025, Carney has repealed climate policies including the consumer carbon tax and electric vehicle mandates, citing economic prosperity amid rising living costs.
- Suzuki argued Carney advocates for climate action as a banker with a conflicting agenda. "I don't see that there's going to be any deviation from the driving of our country into the ditch," Suzuki said.
- Addressing the European Parliament in Strasbourg last week, Carney sought to deepen trade ties, a move Suzuki labeled a "catch-22" because Canada's resource offers prioritize extraction over environmental protection.
- To realign climate action, Suzuki urged the government to declare a state of emergency and set hard targets. "When you declare a state of emergency, all these economic and political arguments disappear," he said.
