Ironically, PM Carney skipped COP30 in Brazil, to announce that the federal government will fast-track the American-owned Ksi Lisims liquefied natural gas project in British Columbia. 👎😒

I feel like the business community in Canada is just not getting the message - there is no miracle deal with Trump and any arrangement we make will be immediately upended when he somehow takes offence at some trivial thing.

Canada: If you’re going to cut foreign aid, at least be honest about it
It is a moral failure dressed up as fiscal responsibility. If we take away the abstract language and political doublespeak, Canadians may find the human cost of these cuts too

I honestly don’t know how Mark Carney wrote a book called *Values*, with chapters dedicated to climate action and now that he is Canada’s Prime Minister he is a no-show at COP30 and is expanding Canada’s fossil fuel development. This is very elbows down hypocrisy. I’m so disappointed.
