Canada

The Globe gets deeper into the numbers:

The government said that by 2040, the carbon price paid by the market will be $130 per tonne. However, the floor price, which is the fee enforced by the government, will be set at only $110 per tonne for 2040. ... Alberta will start regulating a floor price in 2030, at $60 per tonne ... when Mr. Trudeau was prime minister, it was much stricter, at $170 per tonne by 2030.

So a two thirds discount on the 2030 number. I'm betting that'll be further watered down in the next few years.

They're even scaling back the carbon capture plan:

The original aim of Pathways was to reduce emissions by 22 megatonnes per year. Friday’s agreement scales that down to 16 megatonnes per year. And it sets the in-service date at 2035, rather than the previously stated 2030.

In context: annual heating due to climate change is accelerating, as is sea level rise

There's a lot of good context in here, even as I'm still deeply conflicted about this strategy.

"The final Canada-Alberta MOU implementation agreement will put Canada’s target of net zero by 2050 well out of reach," Rick Smith, president of the Canadian Climate Institute, said in a written statement.

The Pembina Institute said its modelling showed the carbon pricing schedule included in the implementation agreement would result in an additional 230 megatonnes of greenhouse gas emissions over the next 15 years.

The federal government had no modelling of its own to offer on Friday.

The policy left behind by Justin Trudeau's government was stronger on paper. But Carney might argue his policy is stronger in practice — not least because it was achieved via political consensus with a conservative Alberta premier.

...

In defiance of the federal benchmark, Smith's government had frozen the province's industrial price at $95 per tonne last year. (Meanwhile, Saskatchewan has stopped collecting an industrial carbon price altogether.) And because of inefficiencies in Alberta's pricing system, the effective price was much lower.
