Who Really Decides Canada's Climate Future?

Canada has admitted it is no longer on track to meet its 2030 climate targets, but the reasons go far beyond domestic politics. In this episode, we explore how changing economic priorities are reshaping Canada's approach to climate action. The surprising twist is that many of these changes begin outside Canada's borders.

New U.S. tariffs and shifting trade policies are putting pressure on Canada's economy, forcing leaders to rethink where to invest and what to prioritize. As economic policy changes, climate policy often changes with it. We follow that chain of events to understand why Canada's emissions outlook has changed and what it means going forward.

Finally, we connect the dots to the ocean. Slower climate progress means greater risks for marine ecosystems, coastal communities, and the industries that depend on healthy oceans. If you've ever wondered how international politics can influence ocean conservation, this episode brings the whole picture together.
