If you expect Mark Carney won't take pipeline blame whether it's built or not, I have bad news for you: opposition parties aren't going to be charitable in their framing and voters aren't always charitable, or consistent, themselves.

Carney will be seen as Captain Pipeline.

- Allows Alberta to delay cutting methane emissions
- Suspends clean energy regulations in Alberta
- Loosens restrictions on tax breaks for clean tech to encourage more oil drilling
- Allows oil tankers on the west coast

This article is great if you completely ignore the fact that it may cost Carney seats in B.C. and Quebec, that he’s given the Bloc and NDP new life, that he’s damaged relationships with the province of B.C. and the Haida Gwaii, and that Alberta may just decide to build the pipeline w/o private $.

The Gripen is better suited in Canada than the F-35s: They're faster, longer range, more serviceable, cheaper, more operationally deployable, more reliable in northern airspace - and would return our capability to manufacture advanced fighter jets here.
