This is extremely alarming. Prime Minister @mark-carney.bsky.social won the federal election promising to make us *less* depending on the US. Now we are hearing reports that he is offering up a CLOSER energy and military partnership in exchange for a trade deal... 🧵

1/ Keystone XL died the first time because it was a climate catastrophe without a viable business case.

Now Carney wants to zombie it back to life to appease Trump.

LNG terminals burn nearly three times more gas during their first two years of operation than afterward.

1/ Exactly 20 years ago, I was honoured to speak at the Alberta Teachers' Association convention, 2005.
