Canada should be focused on nation-building. Instead we are getting sucked into a needless pipeline war to appease Moe and Danielle Smith.
If the PM tries to kill the tanker ban without consulting BC premier Eby or First Nations he will be in for the fight of his life.
And he will lose.

Seven months into Mark Carney’s tenure as prime minister, Canada’s “elbows up” promise has turned into a string of climbdowns and humiliations. The Walrus contributing writer @davidmoscrop.com asks: How long can we pretend this strategy is working? thewalrus.ca/carney-promised-...

"Since the [Canadian] election, there has been a systematic dismantling of (or threats to dismantle) almost every policy that would accelerate our energy transition to a climate-safe economy and society."
Carney, with a boyish smile, is proving disastrous.

I'd be honoured if you'd take a moment to look through my latest missive on the topic of Canada's 180 on climate.
If you consider it worth sharing, please do.

Carney’s calamitous course causes consternation at climate conference
Canada arrived at COP30 with empty hands, expressly moving backwards on almost every climate policy we’ve put in place since Paris.

At COP30 Canada just got awarded the fossil of the day — first time since 2014 (the harper years). Clear sign of how Carney’s pro fossil fuel agenda and backsliding on climate policy is being noticed internationally.

Thank you, Mary Gillis for perfectly expressing the shameful leadership failure we are witnessing in Canada (and elsewhere).
How many children does Israel have to blow up, shoot, and starve to death before Canada stops making disappointed statements and actually takes any concrete action?
This isn't a rhetorical question @mark-carney.bsky.social, this is a question that has a real numerical answer only you can give.

Silicon Valley’s alliance with Donald Trump was a mask off moment and showed the world we can’t depend on US tech companies.
For the past few months, I’ve been trying to get off US tech and I put together a guide so you find alternatives too. I hope you find it helpful!

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Not even sure what to say anymore about all of this insane stuff.
They spray glyphosate all over Ontario & BC forests and also canola fields and other crops. "To keep the weeds down" then people wonder why the bees and birds are declining. I swear - all you have to do is connect the dots & imagine things years from now. Corporate interests are killing us all.

Hard to find ways to counter the crazy evil gaslighting that lets this genocide (as named by so many global organizations) just keep on toward its intended obliteration of a people. I don't understand this. It feels silly to write another letter, but I will.
