Mark Carney managed to trade a pipeline that will never get built for meaningful progress on industrial carbon pricing and electricity interties — both of which will get more wind and solar built.

BC has offered to expand production of the existing TMX line. BC has offered to dredge Burrard Inlet to allow bigger tankers. These practical concessions will vastly increase oil production. Carney should support these feasible options, instead of this highly unlikely, divisive pipeline. #cdnpoli
