Organizer: Re.Climate

Canadian media is essential for interpreting and explaining government climate change policies that regulate fossil fuel production and encourage investment and consumption of clean technologies. Yet in 2025 we have seen the federal government pause or cancel several climate change policies, leaving the public to wonder what impact this will have on Canada’s climate commitments and what will replace them? How does the media make sense of climate policy rollbacks? ? How are policies discussed in the media and how are they framed?

To find answers, we looked at national media stories from January to March and June to August 2025, sourced from top Canadian national media like the Globe and Mail, CBC, Toronto Star and the National Post. Our comparison with previous years shows a clear pattern: climate coverage is darkening in tone, political and economic framings are crowding out climate context, and the range of voices has diminished. But there are still bright spots.
