      >The new funds would be invested across three pillars, Carney said, identifying them as „protecting nature, building Canada well and valuing nature and mobilizing capital.“

      I read this in the CBC article and found it pretty bizarre that this fund set aside for protecting nature has a pillar of „mobilizing capital“.

      However, the actual pillar is written as:

      >**Value and mobilise capital for nature**: Launch an Expert Taskforce on Natural Capital Accounting and Nature Financing in spring 2026. This taskforce will explore how to better account for the value of nature and how to integrate it into decision-making. It will also recommend new policies, incentives, and financing tools that encourage businesses and investors to support conservation.

      While I think that there needs to be some value that is not financial, it is good to see that we will be taking consideration nature’s value and internalizing that into decision making.

      I have been quite unhappy with Carney as a voter who places the Environment and Climate Change as a primary voting issue, and I will say this is good news. I still think our action on climate is insufficient, but this is a good step in the right direction for the environment more broadly.

      It’s nice to see the environmentalist side of Carney finally coming out.

      How does this coincide with cuts that he’s made to (for example) DFO and Environment & Climate Change Canada? Is this funding baked into the cut announcements or does this somewhat mitigate them?

      For example, it seemed like one of the ways they were able to decrease the DFO budget was because the Pacific Salmon Strategy Initiative was sunsetting as of 2026, but now Carney is apparently re-funding it to the tune of $410m?

      >The beauty of Canada’s natural environment is increasingly under threat. **Climate change, pollution, and industrialisation are causing global habitat loss**, an increase in invasive species, and more destructive wildfires and floods. Tackling this issue is both a moral duty and an economic imperative.

      I would be inclined to believe him, if his government hadn’t pushed oil-and-gas initiatives that will accelerate these issues first, killed the mandate that would have countered it, and only *now* is there a token gesture towards it.

      The environment isn’t this government’s focus, this feels like an afterthought mean to placate those of us who actually care about the environment. Sorry but this doesn’t distract me: Carney’s government is very much anti-environment, and is acting to accelerate climate change, not fight it.

      The updated article title. For those who just read titles. „Carney announces $3.8B to protect nature, new conservation sites in James Bay and Manitoba“
