'Liberal leadership candidate Mark Carney says he will abandon his party's consumer carbon tax and replace the policy with an incentive program that rewards Canadians for making green choices.

He also said that he would work with other like-minded countries to introduce a carbon border adjustment, effectively a tariff, that would ensure countries with weaker climate change policies face financial barriers when they try to export products to Canada.

In making the announcement, Carney took aim at U.S. President Donald Trump for his withdrawal from the climate policies of his predecessors, as well as his attacks on Canada, saying that while Trump steps back from the climate change fight, he will step up.'
