Carney isn't a climate change denier. He manages to be worse: he's a climate change shrugger, someone who acknowledges that climate change is a serious problem but steadfastly refuses to do anything about it. At least the deniers try to have a position that makes sense.
Notable that Carney gets nothing in return: this will hurt the liberals in BC, they won't make any gains in Alberta, Smith won't stop and of her bullshit, and it will likely tear apart the Liberal caucus.
The only reasonable conclusion is that Carney is a climate change denialist and a fool.

The federal-AB agreement is a love letter to fossil fuels
-cancelation of critical policies (OG emissions cap & clean electricity rules)
-public $$ for a pipeline (via Indigenous loan program)
-more $$ for CCS, incl. enhanced oil production
- only mention of electricity is for fossil fuels

It's the catch-22 they're trying to set up.
"Oh, you need to act like it might be a real person but also not *really* because if it is a real person this is literal slavery but also if it's not a real person, there's no reason to care about maintaining it."

It’s amazing, really. The Prime Minister is looking for big bold ideas to nation build and he came up with paying for an outdated technology to supply an energy source (bitumen) the world does not want.

1/ Mark Carney has betrayed all of us by making a pipeline pact with Danielle Smith. A real nation-building project would expand the renewable energy of the future while creating thousands of jobs - powerlines not pipelines.

This song is called "Alice's Restaurant," and it's about Alice. And the restaurant. But Alice's Restaurant is not the name of the restaurant, that's just the name of the song.

If you're not, listen to this.
Get a guitar or some drums, or a trumpet. Pick up a brush, a pencil, some clay or a welder.
Just make shit. It doesn't have to be good (eventually it will be) just make music, art or write or whatever.
It's literally never been more important.

Once again; you can't moderate your way to neutralizing an issue like immigration.
It's fundamentally just racist reaction. Nothing is ever enough because what's demanded—ethnonationalist homogeneity—is completely unavailable in modern conditions. There will *always* be a basis for more demagoguery

We watched a great movie last night, Woman in Gold, about the Klimt painting and the niece (played by Helen Mirren & Tatiana Maslany) of the woman in the painting and her efforts to recover the painting, which was stolen by the Nazis. Also starring Ryan Reynolds as the attorney.
