I think I'm with Fawcett here on this one - Alberta's been frequently drastically overenthusiastic about everyone else's enthusiasm for their (expensive, capital-intensive) oil
I suspect there will be a lot of people lashing out at the Carney government over the MOU that's been leaked today.
I'd encourage them to read this first. The biggest hurdle in the way of a new oil pipeline to the west coast, by far, has yet to be cleared.

Alberta’s pipeline math still doesn’t add up
The biggest obstacle standing between Alberta and its premier's repeated pledge to double oil production isn't the tanker ban, the emissions cap, or any other piece of federal legislation. It's realit...

Once more for the Albertans in the back
This is your occasional reminder that provinces have the ability to raise their own revenues to fund the services in their fucking jurisdictions, but we have normalized letting them cry poor and blaming the federal government.
Budget signals lower increases to health transfers, end of funding deals

The stated assumption in e.g. Alberta (where I'm from), has been that we were too small to really move the needle, and it would be suicide to "hobble" ourselves when China kept increasing emissions anyways
So, uh, yeah
So, uh, yeah
This a big deal: "China’s carbon dioxide emissions have been flat or falling for 18 months"
China's economy has grown by ~5% in the last year, so this comprehensively debunks the idea (again) that emissions are tied to growth. So yes, faster progress needed, but this is how you turn the corner.

This is roughly Alberta's anthem
one of the things i think most people are too cowardly to say in the context of chat about a Just Transition for fossil fuel workers is that a lot of them will just not be happy no matter how just that transition is because at core they don't want to transition
tbf it isn't all gender it's also partly literally just wanting to get the votes of people in outdated industries
