      <description><![CDATA[<p>Majority government confirmed, climate grade moved down to D, new public-approval signal at the top, and a readability pass across the dashboard.</p><ul><li><strong>[Grade change] Climate &amp; Environment</strong>: D+ → D (−1 notch). Canada is tracking for about half of its required 2030 emissions reduction. Industrial carbon credits are trading near $20/t despite a $95 headline. ECCC is losing 840+ positions. The PM has acknowledged targets will be missed.</li><li><strong>[Policy event] Majority government confirmed</strong>. Carney&apos;s Liberals won 3 Toronto/Quebec byelections on April 13, 2026, reaching 174 seats and securing a majority in the House of Commons.</li><li><strong>[Policy event] Federal gas tax suspension announced</strong>. Federal fuel excise suspended April 20 through September 7, 2026. Estimated $2.4B in foregone revenue over the window.</li><li><strong>[Product update] Approval Signal added to the top of the dashboard</strong>. 60-day rolling average of approve/disapprove across five included pollsters (Léger, Abacus, Ipsos, Angus Reid Institute, Innovative Research). Tracked beside the grades but explicitly not one of them — popularity is not performance.</li><li><strong>[Minor update] Readability pass on the dashboard</strong>. Plainer card labels, shorter status lines, a new &quot;Limits of this model&quot; note in the Rubric tab, a per-dimension &quot;Last reviewed&quot; line, and an across-the-board font-size bump for mobile.</li></ul>]]></description>
