Importantly — and this was stressed in friggen heartbreaking testimony — they were doing this while their friends, family and community members were dying in horrific, horrific numbers. The trauma they experienced/continue to experience is very clear. The crisis is continuing, 5 ppl/ day are dying.

This is a check I do in #YYJ every time I park my bike. It's Oak Bay that has the most like this.
My kids play this game where they take a bite out of an apple, piece it back together and ask “Is it broken or not?”
And I just found the #BikeHfx parking equivalent to this. 😭 (will report)

As a political scientist, I think the effects on unity are some of the biggest problems with the agreement. It legitimates "Alberta" as an aggrieved party, distinct from other provinces, while treating BC and its peoples to be as issues to be managed, rather than partners in the federation.

My MP @wgreaves.bsky.social was on @gregorcraigie.bsky.social's show this morning to polish the turd that is the pipeline MOU, thus dashing my slim hopes that he would stand on principle. #BCPoli #CdnPoli
I hereby encourage my MP @wgreaves.bsky.social to leave the Liberals and sit with the NDP. #BCPoli #CdnPoli

The first thing this reminded me of was Trudeau going to Tofino on the first Truth and Reconciliation Day. Just spectacularly self-damaging and clueless.

*TMX cost taxpayers $30-50 billion
*But it's making a profit now! $568 million in four months.
So at this rate it will only take 30 years to pay off?
Is it gonna make bank over those whole 30 years?
HELL NO

Nothing like reporting that the driver did the bare minimum they are legally required to do as though they are heroic or something.

Something that is easy to forget in all the "Carney is a political genius / Carney is a political naif" argle bargle is that climate policies matter. Environmental regulations matter. Getting rid of them may or may not achieve a political end — but it's guaranteed to have real-world implications.
