Even if the Alberta government doesn’t get a pipeline built, never underestimate their ability to leverage projects to nowhere that move public dollars into private pockets.
Meanwhile, they’ll divide FNs against one another and deepen colonial harms. It’s their MO, and increasingly Carney’s too.

plus obliterating Indigenous consultation through ministerial discretion, which is the win-win for the UCP and feds. Now the UCP get to combine lack of consultation with virtually unlimited criminalization powers via Critical Infrastructure Act.

CTV News sampled all of the NDP leadership candidates platform statements, but misleadingly edited out the substance of McQuail’s — because he advocates proportional representation election reform, which CTV’s producers don’t want the public thinking about.

So either Carney is a liar who is purposefully grifting Smith and pissing off BC or he is all in on O&G which includes walking back crucial environmental policies.
Neither scenario says good things about his character.

Canada’s top political leaders are climate deniers. There’s no such thing as “decarbonized” oil and no environmentally conscious way to increase fossil fuel production.
Mark Carney and his government are sacrificing the climate and baking in worse natural disasters in the hope of short-term profit.

The province wasn't appeased by an actual pipeline, but Carney the genius is going to appease them with a fictional one? Right.
This is about signalling to the extraction industry that he's on their side, and it's just one of many of signals.

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.

"This isn’t simply bad policy. It is a failure of national economic vision. And it carries consequences that will shape Canada’s prosperity—or stagnation—for decades to come."
10 years ago Mark Carney warned about the "existential threat" posed by climate catastrophe and the need to move from fossil fuel burning.
Now he is using Stephen Harper's lines about becoming an "energy super power."
This is a powerful analysis on the MOU.
