Prime Minister Mark Carney welcomed Canadian tennis star Victoria Mboko to Parliament Hill on Wednesday, telling the Toronto teen that Canadians are proud of her breakthrough season on the WTA Tour. Carney met with the 19-year-old Mboko and members of her family at his West Block office and got a first-hand look at the trophy she won at this National Bank Open this summer in Montreal.
Mark Carney's election as Canada's prime minister signifies the ascent of a leader who prioritizes climate policies without overtly campaigning on them, contrasting with climate discussions in the U.S.
For years, oilpatch leaders have chastised the Liberal government for introducing policies that harm the sector such as the clean fuel regulations, the proposed emissions cap, and changes to the federal assessment of major projects.
