  "… in the face of clear evidence of current harm and the substantial likelihood of growing harm in the future, the prudent thing to do would be to reduce fossil fuel use as rapidly and as soon as possible. To fail to do so, and indeed to support fossil fuel expansion through continuing subsidies, weakening of regulations and ongoing private and public investment amounts to reckless disregard."

  “A lot of the things (Carney) has done is to give himself and his cabinet sweeping powers and avoid public oversight,” she told the Star. “His whole major project agenda is ‘How can I keep American investors happy’ — because the largest contingent of people at this investment summit (in Toronto), 33 of the companies are American — so it’s still about keeping American investors happy while gutting environmental safeguards here.” https://www.thestar.com/politics/political-opinion/mark-carney-is-s...
