You can’t have net-zero emissions AND prop up a fossil fuel industry.
If you want to lead, push for renewable resources AND phase out fossil fuels entirely.
But Carney don’t really seem to care about that. :/

Premier Smith and I have agreed to a framework built on shared ambitions — to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050, unlock the full potential of Alberta’s energy resources, and build a stronger, more sustainable, more competitive economy.

The Diderot Effect is when, after buying something, you feel pressured to buy more things to match it. The name comes from an 18th century essay by Denis Diderot, lamenting that a new red velvet robe led him to replace his furniture.

This is what I find so loathsome about Mark Carney -- it's all about the economy, and nothing else. No concern related to, say, the epidemic of misinformation coming from right-wing propagandists, or attacks on our democracy, or civil rights.
It's all economy, and trade deals, and investments.

"It is about much more than one thing—and fundamentally it’s about building this economy, it's about making Canada more independent & it's about making Canada more sustainable," says PM Carney when asked re: some Liberals’ concerns over possible Alberta pipeline deal. #cdnpoli

"Left on the economy, right on the culture," is just fascism in the end. Also it will never take you left on the economy in the long run, because a machine built for eating people will keep eating people.
"Left on the economy, right on culture" is also, as needs repeating a hundred thousand time, the central lie of fascism.
OF COURSE it appeals to the in-group who thinks their well-being AND their prejudices will be pandered to.

The thing about "left on the economy, right on culture" is it's based on analysis of swing voters. Those voters are often low attention and their politics are often not especially coherent. Which is fine for them, it's not their job to run the country, but, you know, the government is

Pretty convincing evidence here that the Trump administration was planning to jailbreak and provide asylum for Bolsonaro -- and that Trump inadvertently revealed the plan.
And this, as the now-cliche goes, would have been a paralyzing scandal for any other administration.
