Yes inaction does have consequences, if it is not controlled inaction. PM Carney by engaging with Smith to the degree he is, is taking action. In the off chance Smith (with all her other problems) is able to pull it all together, I think Kara says it well. 👇

I think Carney won this one. We get industrial carbon tax and a huge carbon capture program. She gets … a talking point to bring to her leadership convention. She gets no $. She has to find investors and negotiate with BC and indigenous people.

Canada needs to go full in on next gen green energy.

We have the know-how.

Now we need the vision and backing to do it, and stop the US from buying it and siphoning it down south.

Oil and gas are last century's resources.

Let's harness Canadian brains to build for the future, not the past....

Thank-you for correcting me and for the clarification. Does it sound like the gov signed the MOU, gave some environmental carve outs to oil and gas and now Alberta must deal with BC and the First Nations? No real project yet, no private proponent yet, just tension, frustration and politics

PM Carney is way smarter than pip squeak Smith. She is playing tiddley winks PM Carney is a chess master. Under estimate him at your peril.

I am Hopeful people in Alberta will finally shed the political yoke they have willfully encumbered themselves with (for decades) in less than 2 short years. They have been Brainwashed with Religious Oil & Gas American Money for Far Too Long. It's time to stop being Neanderthals' ...

Neither Enbridge nor TMX is going to invest the major escudos, put lawyers into inevitable court challenges, or further depress the price of Alberta bitumen through oversupply. But putting the keys into Smith's hands allows this to wither into obscurity in a longer timeline than Smith's career has.

By the time BC drags this thru the courts, Smith will be a distant political memory.

If Trump had sent them home as the court ordered, they would now be at home preparing to celebrate Thanksgiving with their families.

Violence has no place in America. Michelle and I are praying for the servicemembers shot in Washington, DC today, and send our love to their families as they enter this holiday season under the most tragic of circumstances.

I predict Trump will fold on his tariffs quickly. He will call it a compromise, but it will really be him backing down. He lost the business community and the Wall Street Journal opinion page over his harebrained plan…he is scared.

Contrary to a court order I might add!!
It‘s clear where this going. Straight in to martial law. We’re dealing with a mad man.

Time for congress to step up and remove him and if they don’t, the military should. We’re in a crisis right now and people will die.

It’s going to be someone with sophisticated COMINT capabilities. Guesses? Ukraine, France, or (an outsider) the UK. Given the circumstances, I’m not sure that Ukraine isn’t like.

Other Five Eyes nations are capable too, but they’re not involved.
The Guardian reports that a European intel agency likely leaked the Witkoff-Ushakov-Dmitriev calls, frustrated by Trump’s envoy pushing Kremlin lines. Others point to disgruntled CIA or NSA insiders. Ukraine had motive, but the risk of fallout with Washington makes that unlikely.

Duh.... maybe tell all the hundred of billionaires, including Tim Cook, that people can't frickin afford them.

Start here, maybe.
We're supposed to be a throw-away society.

We're not supposed to hold on to our belongings.

Meanwhile, 100 years ago, they made radios that STILL work today.

But we're supposed to replace smartphones, laptops, & tvs every two years. 🤔😳

If even the Haisla Nation are opposed, there's zero chance this project ever receives any significant First Nations support.
As I said, to the north coast, nothing has changed on the pipeline. Smith is going to have some work to do if she is going to change hearts and minds.
