This is a very concerning story. Cold Lake First Nation is living in 3rd world conditions. They have been completely frozen out by Mark Carney/Danielle Smith's plan to drive a 400 km pipeline carbon capture facility on their land.
This won't end well Mark.

Carney-Smith deal will bring carbon capture to Cold Lake. They don't want it
Alberta First Nations are being shut out of a sprawling carbon capture and storage project on their traditional territories that is a key part of Thursday's Alberta-Ottawa pipeline deal, chiefs say.

This is the first Thanksgiving for Sophie & Colin Hortman without their parents, Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and Mark Hortman who were assassinated along with the family dog in an act of political murder. National guards troops were not deployed to the state in response.

Just finished @lindamcquaig.bsky.social Sport & Prey of Capitalists, written before the pandemic. It's certainly prescient, including warnings about the perils of corporate infrastructure advisors designing Trudeau's Infrastructure bank. So how about a chairman of an infrastructure company as PM?

The removal of the luxury tax on yachts and private jets signals whose interests Carney is prioritizing, writes @lindamcquaig.bsky.social #cdnpoli
Left-wing populist Avi Lewis might be the answer to the banker Mark Carney
Mark Carney has shown himself to be a politician that protects the interests of the wealthy. Avi Lewis could position himself as the left-wing populist answer to his corporatist policies.

Linda McQuaig: Why do we mourn jobs killed by Trump, but not ones we kill ourselves?
In Prime Minister Mark Carney’s version of "nation-building," we’re expected to respond to U.S. President Donald Trump’s job-killing tariffs with anger and raised elbows — even as we merrily dance

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.

The Pipeline MOU is a Tragic Failure of Vision
At best, Mark Carney capitulated to Danielle Smith's backward view of the future. At worst, the Prime Minister shares that view

From pharmacare to military spending levels to cuts to foreign aid, Mark Carney has repeatedly lied to Canadians over just a few months of being on the federal scene. As @lindamcquaig.bsky.social argues, there’s now a compelling opportunity for an unapologetic leftist populist. #cdnpoli

It's time to talk about income inequality in Canada. We can't build a truly democratic nation when so many people are relying on food banks and can't afford where they live.
Inequality is a breeding ground for extremist ideologies.

- NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists."
