Unfortunately, fossil fuels aren't really an answer to any of these challenges. Any new pipeline is - objectively - a decade away from tidewater and markets are fading fast. You want home grown resilience? Build renewables, invest in the grid, especially in sunny, windy Alberta.

Well good for Guilbeault for sticking with his principles. I hope he joins the Green Party. Good reporting by the Star how he was frozen out of discussions and Carney and his group basically giving into Smith. This may end well for the Liberals and relieve tensions in Alberta but not looking good.

This point is disturbing: Guilbeault "was also deeply troubled by the ease with which the PMO was casting aside its moral obligation to May. What was the Liberals’ word worth?"

Good work by @althiaraj.bsky.social on the inside story of Guilbeault's resignation, from his being frozen out by PMO, given false assurances, and being made to wear the government walking back on pledges he made to Elizabeth May to secure her support. No kidding it was untenable for him to stay.

And yet, Canada continues to treat pipelines as if they are nation-building infrastructure rather than stranded-asset risk vectors.

With all due respect to Ms. McKenna - this isn’t quite what the Minister said based on my listen.
Having said this - if this gov’t backtracks significantly on the climate file I will be voting Green in the next election. It seems we’re back to being hewers of wood, drawers of water under Carney.

The government keeps catering to Pathways in every conceivable way, and I can't wait for them to just fold and start directly subsidizing them (beyond the tax credits they're already getting).
This is a stunning story. I've been tracking the "greenhushing" narrative for a while now: this is the idea that strict regulations on fake climate claims spooks companies into total silence; therefore we shouldn't regulate them.
