Story summary
Prime Minister Mark Carney announced that Ottawa will launch a $2 billion heat pump rebate program early next year, aimed at retrofitting one million homes across Canada over eight years. The program targets households heating with oil, propane, or diesel and aims to address the rising costs of these fuels, which have increased by 70% since 2024. Households below median income can receive up to $10,000 for a heat pump purchase, while other homeowners can get $2,000. The government expects that approximately 820,000 households will benefit from the program over its eight-year duration. Carney made the announcement in Sherbrooke, Quebec, alongside Environment Minister Julie Dabrusin, emphasizing the environmental benefits and financial relief for Canadians struggling with heating costs.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political
question, so it has no leaning score. That is an
answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly
or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it
anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political
position.
