This is weird framing, given that said deal actually strengthens the most important part — by far — of said Trudeau-era climate measures.

Everybody running around with their hair on fire should stop and read this. There won't be a pipeline, no smart investor wants to take on the coastal natives or BC Gov. Smith can't use Ottawa and threats of separation as a cudgel anymore, and agreed to the environmental demands. Checkmate.

Nothing strange about it. In my experience, atheists have a better moral compass than many “Christians” by the simple fact that we don’t need a higher power to teach us ethics. Empathy, personal values and rationality inform our actions.
