So here’s what Mark Carney said in Mississauga. “We will soon also release our Climate Competitiveness Strategy to position Canada as a leader in decarbonization… We’ll look at the interaction between the EV mandate, our clean fuel standards, our investment tax credits, our trade policy—all of those elements. Because what this government is focused on is absolutely results. Not saying something’s going to happen at a certain time, but giving workers and businesses the tools to make it happen.”

Sounds impressive, doesn’t it? A “Climate Competitiveness Strategy.” But stop and think about it for more than five seconds. Competitive with who?

With China? A country that builds two coal plants a week and couldn’t care less about “decarbonization.” They flood the world with cheap steel, fertilizer, solar panels, and EV batteries—all made with coal power. We shut down our industries in the name of carbon, then buy it all back from Beijing.

With India? They’ve made it clear they’re not going to sacrifice growth for carbon targets. They’re building, expanding, modernizing—while Canada is drowning in permits, studies, and red tape. In this country it literally costs a million dollars to move an anthill if you want to build a mine. In India they’d just build the mine. So again—competitive with who?

With Europe? We do maybe 7% of our trade with Europe. The real markets are the United States and Asia. And both are playing by completely different rules. Europe’s collapsing under its own green policies; their energy prices are through the roof, their industries are fleeing. And Carney wants to copy that model here.
