Carney says Trudeau-era climate plan was ‘too expensive’ and ‘divisive’

Prime Minister Mark Carney echoed critics of the previous Liberal government’s climate plan in a video posted on Tuesday, saying the plan he inherited was too expensive and divisive.

“In my judgment, that plan was not sustainable over the long term,” Carney said in his second “Forward Guidance” video. “It would have been too expensive for Canadians. Canadians who are already struggling with affordability.”

He later says the plan “would have been too divisive for our country” and was “an open opportunity for those people who wish to pull Canada apart both at home and abroad.”
