Climate organizations in Canada are criticizing Bill C-39, arguing the legislation dismantles the country’s environmental policy on a scale they describe as unprecedented. Greenpeace campaigners say the bill gives federal cabinet unchecked discretion to bypass existing environmental laws, while Senator Clément Gignac has defended the measure. The dispute highlights growing tension over how far the government can go in weakening protections, with critics demanding the bill be revised or withdrawn.

Oil spills linked to the war are spreading through the Strait of Hormuz toward coral reefs and mangrove ecosystems, raising alarm among environmental groups. Greenpeace warns that fossil fuel dependence is placing people, nature and economies at risk, and is calling for a shift to clean, decentralised energy to prevent future damage.
