Reading the MOU as a whole, there's an impression of policy in a time warp. Environmental commitments are fuzzy and down the road; Indigenous engagement amounts to financial inducements to go along with the state. It's as if nothing has been learned the last 15 years. www.pm.gc.ca/en/news/back...

Yesterday I was up on that pipeline route and a First Nation land guardian was explaining to me the riskiness of shipping oil on those waterways and I kept thinking: how f-ing broke is Canada that it’s thinking of doing this? This is ‘selling your kidney’ level of desperation.
Lets face it, this is a good day for oil companies, businesses, and those in the oil sector. Its a bad day for the environment and for reconciliation with Indigenous nations whose lands this thing will go over. As Blanchet stated, this is the official end of Canada's climate commitments.

Genuinely feels like there's been a coup within the Liberal party thanks to Carney and his bros.
Not to say Trudeau's Liberals were much better (they bought a pipeline!) but Carney is a full-blown red tory and I'm shocked more Liberals aren't outraged their party has been usurped like this.

Super cool that we've got a deal for a path towards a pipeline that's tied to a carbon capture project, as if that makes it okay
when carbon capture one of the most expensive and least effective options for addressing climate change, and oil companies often use it to EXTRACT MORE OIL!!!!

A lot of people voted Liberal because they were terrified of Poilievre and his gang. I get that.
But Carney's who we got, he's being a weak leader, pushing policies that are harming the vast majority of us and it's time to just admit he sucks and push back.
