The UCP never has and never will care if Alberta wins or Canada wins, as long as they can win playing the victims at the expense of everyone. Does Smith have the courage to actually take them on !

This is why this 'new' pipeline is never going to be built, esp if private investors have to bank roll it. Heck, for all their chest beating, I doubt even the Pathway Alliance will invest in this pipeline.

Why oil prices could crash more than 50% in the next 2 years

Oil demand has defied bearish predictions to keep rising, but supply is set to increase even more, dragging crude prices lower through 2027.

With the new pipeline deal and her blatant disregard for charter rights this might as well be true.

Danielle Smith uses notwithstanding clause to declare herself premier of B.C.

Prime Minister Mark Carney disagrees with the concept of a premier of one province unilaterally taking over a different province but his hands are tied by his unwillingness to do anything about it.

I read this twice. It's very shrewd.

The MOU, then, is textbook Carney. By telling a political adversary what they wanted to hear, he’s gotten them to agree to something he needs. He’s effectively daring Danielle Smith to do the work required to get her coveted pipeline built, knowing full well she can’t actually do it. But Smith’s concessions help advance his government’s climate agenda far more than anything the previous federal government managed to achieve in, and with, Alberta. For a guy who wasn’t supposed to be a good politician, he’s turning out to be pretty good at it — better, even, than the one he replaced.

The initial reaction was disappointment for this MOU. But reading more shows the PM has put all the chips in Smith's corner with a pipeline dangling over her. Now she can't blame the LIBs for her inaction in climate action. Until the pipeline is built, it's not built.

Mark Carney managed to trade a pipeline that will never get built for meaningful progress on industrial carbon pricing and electricity interties — both of which will get more wind and solar built.

Remember when people thought he wasn't good at politics? www.nationalobserver.com/2025/11/27/o...

The method to Mark Carney’s madness

The memorandum of understanding with Alberta might look like surrender. Look closer

But many parents are still on waiting lists.

The PM squeaked through with his first win since being elected, because none of the parties wanted an election, not because he created a coalition with cross party support. May was the only one who used the opportunity to hold the PM accountable for the environment.

Once you filter all the overwhelming noise, slop, flop and exaggerations of AI, the real use case for modern-day AI is in fields like healthcare and medicine.

Canadian Medical Association @cmadocs.bsky.social · 17d

AI is being hailed as the biggest leap in medicine since antibiotics. In addition to fast-tracking research and transforming health care delivery, #AI can cut through the relentless paperwork that fuels physician burnout. But every new technology comes with risks.
