Blocked either way though, no?

dang yeah I still gotta read Liz Pelly's 'Mood Machine'

I feel like they'll just wave their hands and say the words "economic sovereignty" or something

Reminds me of how Trudeau called Freeland a friend as a way to spike her leadership bid lol

You hoping for some overseas post like Freeland or Joly? Feels like all of Carney's cabinet ministers are fleeing a sinking ship right now. Maybe you're loyal to the captain until the end though

The Liberals bought a pipeline not too long ago.

Like with Silicon Valley Bank, investors are willing to take on a lot more "risk" when they expect the government will bail them out.

Seems dangerous to assume that no pipeline will happen, and seems prudent to oppose it now, when it's not too late.

You just reminded me of an interview I read (listened to?) ages ago, I think w/ the creator of SimCity, where they pointed out how huge all the parking lots in real life are, compared to the buildings/shops they're outside of. The game didn't include them though! We have a huge blind spot, for sure.

I'll also note that you failed to mention the changes to the methane emissions rules. Or the greenwashing rules. Or the fact that this MOU mentions 'direct air capture', which like, you must know is complete bunk, and if you don't, then yikes

I think it's dangerous to assume that it won't get built.

The idea that a private investment won't happen because of the risk is undercut by the reality that the Liberals already bought a pipeline, and Carney seems like the type who would do it again. If not him, then whatever CPC PM succeeds him.

Carney hightailed it out of there so fast he didn't even join her at the news conference.

He went directly to speak to the Chamber of Commerce where Deborah Yedlin (Chamber CEO) compared this agreement to the moon landing.

I kid you not.

what if it's very expensive due to lower supply, do you think maybe then

WTAF

It's not framed that way in the MOU of course,which makes it sound like these are new rules entirely!

Unfortunately it appears the methane part is actually a five-year delay of what was supposed to go into effect in 2030, and with weaker target levels to boot thenarwhal.ca/carney-alber...

Is there Carney kompromat we don’t know about?

lol for real though 😅

reading it now, and this MOU even mentions direct air capture, it's absolutely ridiculous

4. On the pipeline (cont'd):
- The Carney government appears to be trying to replace Indigenous consent with equity participation, i.e. Coastal First Nations (the rights holders) can't say no if an Indigenous group somewhere has a tiny ownership stake.

So far it's only cost you nearly every existing climate policy, a cabinet minister, and the entire province of British Columbia. Masterful work, sir!
