4. More bad stuff
- lifting oil tanker ban (Coastal First Nations will not let that one go without a fight).
- Weakening industrial carbon price (now goes to $130/tonne rather than $170)

1. This federal-Alberta pipeline MOU is even worse than I expected. Even before we get to the pipeline:
- exempts AB from net zero electricity reg (AB produces 44% of all electricity-related GHGs in Canada).
- delays methane reg by 5 years (75% redn by 2035 rather than 2030.

One of the stunning things about the MoU is the absence of a clear commitment by AB to scheduled increases in the price of carbon. Instead this:
The TIER system will ramp up to $130/tonne. When?
Issues to be addressed include "effective price and the price increases over time"
Gulp.

I am devastated over the direction PM Carney is taking this country. Deals with the likes of Ford & Smith will have generational repercussions and devastate this country's environmental goals. Kudos to Steven Guilbeault for outlining the harm Carney's policies will bring. A very sad day for Canada

Better to take the 20 BC Liberals our of the Carny Cons as well, and form a Climate Democrat or Climate Liberal party and have the Green and NDP merge with it. Would be a much better size for party status and directly affect government policy

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.
