Europe Sounds the Alarm as the United States Sides With Putin

"Since the April election, federal officials have recorded more than 220 meetings with oil and gas lobbyists — more meetings than days. The immense lobbying push was reflected in the federal budget, and continues to shape federal priorities."
The way to read the Canada-Alberta MOU is that Carney is using the Trump effect as political cover to pursue the deregulatory agenda he’s long wanted. I spoke with @naomiaklein.bsky.social who called it a classic example of the shock doctrine.
Did the climate world misread Carney?
Many in the climate movement saw a fellow traveller in Mark Carney — the man who could preach climate action in the language of finance — but what if they were wrong from the very start?
