The naked corruption of this government is insulting.
Following Environment Minister Julie Dabrusin's refusal to say whether or not a new pipeline would contribute to climate change yesterday, that makes two major figures in Carney's government who have been unsure about the environmental impact of a new pipeline to export oil to be burned overseas.

As Chantal Hébert said, folks are missing the climate forest for the pipeline trees.
Carney rolled back major climate policies for Alberta, now! In exchange for a lil industrial carbon price increase and the BS that is carbon capture!
Forgetting the pipeline, this is BAD for the climate crisis!

I'm not convinced that wasn't Carney's plan all along. It isn't Ottawa that said no to Alberta. "Now you run along, Danielle, and make friends and get it done." Oh wait, you can't? Oh well then, at least you tried.
