How Canadian Carbon Policies Miss the Mark | Binnion Minute

Jul 17, 2023

In this "Binnion Minute" interview, Michael Binnion addresses the critical issue of carbon leakage and how Canada’s current carbon policies unintentionally drive production—and emissions—away from the country, raising global emissions overall. He contrasts Canada’s approach with the U.S., which incentivizes emissions reductions directly to those who implement solutions, resulting in more effective carbon reduction and green jobs creation. Binnion argues that Canada should focus on “reversing carbon leakage” by encouraging domestic production of low-emission goods, which benefits both the environment and the economy.
