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.

Since it was revealed the Prime Minister lied to pass his confidence vote— why are we considering him legitimate?

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.

Considering that the Federal Government of Canada signed an MOU with Alberta, it seems like the MAGA plan to take over Canada is working. Premier Danielle Smith has clearly twisted our arm behind our backs.

Same as in Greenland, the U.S. is plotting to undermine our Canadian government by supporting and conspiring with Danielle Smith, Alberta premier leading the initiative to separate Alberta (place with most of the tar sands, and oil) from Canada.

They promised the clean drinking water bill was to be re-tabled in the Fall when the session started up again, today Carney pushed that to Spring for no reason other than his constant attack on Indigenous people and to use it as leverage against resource projects: #cdnpoli

Prevent the spread of invasive Quagga and Zebra mussels by washing and drying your boat and fishing gear when moving between lakes.

These mussels filter out phytoplankton and leave less food for native fish.
