Counterpoint: yes, he did.
If he forces the federal backstop on Alberta he triggers a national unity crisis -- and further undermines the carbon market in the process (since the fight would play out in the courts).
This way he shores up the weakest link in the chain, and quickly.

Never been so mad to publish something.
While I have a ton of time for Max's analysis, I think this is overlooking one major fact: Carney didn't need Alberta's approval to bring in an industrial carbon price. So he traded a litany of climate policies for nothing he didn't already have.

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.

Roads continue to be dangerous with driving texters, cell calls not on hands free, driving too close, excessive speed & red lights mean FA! Do your part everyone and speak out. I have seen 22 rear end collisions in the past 5 days in YEG. Why the fuck do people want to pay 8K for their insurance?

Trump tried to extort Brazil to drop the case against Bolsonaro by slapping a 50% tariff on the country
He also personally sanctioned Alexandre de Moraes-the judge overseeing this case-and his wife
Of course it didn’t work. Prices in the US increased instead

This is how our government has been corrupted:
1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat
We must get big money out of politics.
It is the root of our dysfunction.

Picard’s point on AB’s new “dual practice” plan: evidence shows letting surgeons bill public & private won’t fix wait times, it likely lengthens them, drains staff from public hospitals, adds red tape, and undermines access.

Allowing doctors to practise in both public and private systems solves what exactly?
What Alberta is proposing may sound good superficially, but it makes no sense in the Canadian context

The use of the Notwithstanding Clause is out of control. It’s up to voters to stop it
The architects of Canada's Charter of Rights and Freedoms thought the Notwithstanding Clause would only be used in exceptional circumstances. Conservative premiers seem determined to prove them wrong.
