- Tim McDonnell highlights how much of the new fossil fuel development in the U.S. produces profits only because of massive public subsidies.
- Kathleen Harris and Elizabeth McSheffrey each report on Environment Commissioner Julie Gelfand's conclusion that Canada is falling far short of translating climate policy into meaningful action. And
