Mark Carney Defends Carbon Tax in Quebec Media Appearance

Mark Carney has doubled down on his climate strategy during a Sunday evening appearance on Radio-Canada, where he advocated for a carbon tax system targeting industrial polluters.

During his interview on “Tout le monde en parle,” the Liberal leader contrasted his environmental approach with Conservative opponent Pierre Poilievre’s position, suggesting his rival lacks proper understanding of carbon market mechanisms.

“Big polluters must pay,” Carney said in French, arguing that effective climate action requires making heavy industry financially accountable for emissions.

The former central banker outlined his vision for Canada’s competitive position in global markets, emphasizing that successful economies worldwide are implementing carbon taxes. His campaign platform proposes shifting away from consumer-level carbon taxes toward an industrial model that would ultimately affect consumer prices indirectly.

Former Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault amplified Carney’s message by sharing the interview clip online. Guilbeault warned that eliminating industrial carbon taxation would give major emitters a free pass while potentially weakening Canada’s economic standing in emerging low-carbon markets.

Before entering politics, Carney built his climate credentials as the UN’s Special Envoy for Climate Action and Finance. Sources indicate that during his advisory role in the Trudeau government, he advocated for stronger carbon taxes on polluters than were ultimately implemented.
