Now, I'm just a simple country doctor (of philosophy), but the language MOU seems like it's in for a very tough go during the inevitable court challenge over the government's duty to consult meaningfully with Indigenous peoples over the decision to approve a pipeline.

The MOU goes much farther than many people expected, giving Alberta's oil producers literally every item on their list of demands, while getting basically nothing in return. Alberta will negotiate a carbon price, something the province had already agreed to the last time Ottawa gave them a pipeline.

The pipeline stuff will get the most attention, but the bottom line of the Ottawa-Alberta MOU policy-wise is that Carney is scrapping or softening most Trudeau-era climate-related regulations in favour of putting (almost) all his eggs in the industrial carbon pricing basket.
