Carney tells business crowd a new pipeline project is ‘going to happen’
Prime Minister Mark Carney came close to telling a Bay Street audience today that he will secure a new pipeline for Alberta, offering his strongest endorsement yet of the idea.

If you want to know what Canada LOSING the #GlobalEnergyTransition sounds like, it sounds like #MarkCarney 's Energy & Natural Resources Minister #TimHodgson 's miserable excuses & dodging of questions

We must RESIST this Prime Minister. He's a disaster for Canada

🚨 Prime Minister Mark Carney and Premier Danielle Smith are dreaming of a new oil tanker and tar sands pipeline project from Alberta to the B.C. coastline. Our response? Hard NO.

The world is splitting between petro and electro states, and Canada risks being left in the dust

“It’s cold today—so much for global warming!”

Weather is like your mood, while climate is your personality. One cold day doesn’t disprove global trends. In fact, warming can even disrupt weather patterns and cause some of the wild swings we see today!

Carney just signed a deal with Alberta that lays out conditions for a new oil pipeline.

In doing this, he managed to piss off one of his own cabinet ministers (who promptly resigned), coastal First Nations, the B.C. government, the Green Party and the Bloc Québécois.

But uh, here's what he got:

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.

This pipeline will never be built. But trying to build it is still a tragic waste of time and money at a time when we have neither to spare.

Carney is most definitely a conservative. All of Canada's political parties are right-wing parties, because they all put corporate interests over the needs of working people.
