Catherine McKenna

I thought hard about how to express what needs to be said about climate, the oil sands, and Canada's future in my long piece in today's Toronto Star. Short summary: The climate crisis is accelerating as is energy transition. 🇨🇦 is blessed with natural & human resources to build the future. But the oil sands are taking us for fools. Time to be on the right side of history

Unfortunately you can't put newspaper links on Facebook anymore (bonkers!) but you can find it online at Toronto Star if you have a subscription, get the online copy through your local library using PressReader, or get a hard copy of today's paper. And you can find me on Bluesky!

I thought hard about how to express what needs to be said. The climate crisis is accelerating as is energy transition. 🇨🇦 is blessed with natural & human resources to build the future. But the oil sands are taking us for fools. Time to be on the right side of history. Online and in tomorrow's Saturday Star.

As environment minister, I believed the oil sands sector would help us save the planet. I was wrong. Former Canadian environment minister Catherine McKenna on what she learned in four years leading Canada’s fight against climate change

It may surprise many but I was fortunate to have Brian Mulroney as a mentor. He taught me about how to take practical action to conserve the environment & grow the economy - and that nothing is more important than building a cleaner future for our kids. A true conservative.

Brian Mulroney knew something important that today's conservative politicians are ignoring Today's politicians who call themselves "conservatives" could take a lesson from their predecessors on the value of protecting the environment, Catherine McKenna writes.

Happy to be back home!
