You’re right to worry. The climate toll is real here and abroad. I don’t see Carney’s shift as a flip-flop but the reality of governing: he can’t fix everything at once. He hasn’t abandoned climate action or Indigenous rights; he’s trying to advance both while managing competing crises.

Carney’s gov’t pledged new protected areas, stronger Indigenous stewardship, and clean-water legislation for First Nations. But fast-tracked major projects and rolled-back climate programs worry many leaders who fear consent and environmental safeguards are being weakened.

Carney’s climate work isn’t abstract. His 2015 Bank of England warning on climate-risk reshaped global finance. He co-founded GFANZ to push net-zero standards, and his risk framework is now used by regulators worldwide. Results are slow, but the shift he drove is real and documented.

Partnership isn’t proven in a post; it’s proven in process. Carney’s at least naming the standard openly. Let’s measure him by outcomes, not by assumptions.

No, I’m defending his approach: he’s one of the few leaders who integrates Indigenous rights, climate risk, and economic security. By “external pressure,” I mean the global race for resources where powerful states aim to dominate or absorb smaller economies, he is building 🇨🇦’s resilience to that.

Carney pushed climate-risk rules, led global green-finance work, backed net-zero standards, and supported Indigenous-led stewardship. This isn’t about appeasing Alberta; it’s about making hard choices when both First Nations’ rights and Canadians’ freedoms face growing external pressure.

Wild idea: maybe the original author and illustrator should start drafting their cease-and-desists now. The US right keeps slapping beloved children’s characters on propaganda like they own it. If they’re going to misuse other people’s work, they can at least ask permission and pay for the license.

Love the plan, but Ottawa also needs guardrails so premiers actually spend the money on the hospitals it’s meant for.

Ontario’s a cautionary tale: give Doug a health-care dollar and it can vanish into a contingency fogbank faster than you can say “unspent federal transfer.”

And that’s exactly how we should be doing every single protest. Moving forward is flooding his office with physical letters on seed paper if we could so that it could be regrown, but that’s what I’ve been saying online is hollow. We gotta go old school and then again, we need a tent protest

Carney didn’t betray anything. He made the call every leader eventually faces: hold the party line perfectly, or hold the country together. He chose unity, betting it keeps the climate fight alive. It’s not pretty politics, but it’s real leadership.

Carney didn’t trade away the climate; he traded away the illusion that Ottawa could do everything at once. He chose to steady the federation first, knowing the climate fight dies if the country fractures. It looks like compromise, but it’s the kind that buys time, not sells out.

There it is: the quiet part out loud. He’s not a leader, just a man who thinks stories equal power. My Papa told better tales, his only goal was to make me laugh, not rehearse for Dick-tator-in-Chief.

The pattern isn’t hidden. Every high-profile shooting becomes fresh fuel for extreme policies the President already wanted.

Project 2025 spells out the playbook: use public fear to justify power grabs, not to prevent the violence driving it.

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.

The method to Mark Carney’s madness
The memorandum of understanding with Alberta might look like surrender. Look closer
