What we have witnessed tday in this new federal-Alberta agreement is a complete abandonment of core federal climate policy and a complete abdication to the MAGA-aligned govt of Alberta and to oil & gas corporations that send huge chunks their profits to the US.

5/8 Carney is starting to resemble Paul Martin: a business-oriented centrist wooing the right while failing to anticipate the collapse of his own base.

The resignation of Steven Guilbeault underlines the dangerous game being played.

'There are 20 Liberals from British Columbia in the House of Commons. If the Alberta deal goes ahead as predicted, there will be about five after the next federal election', which 'certainly explains why some of Carney’s B.C. Liberal MPs are said to be “seething” at their leader'

As a political scientist, I think the effects on unity are some of the biggest problems with the agreement. It legitimates "Alberta" as an aggrieved party, distinct from other provinces, while treating BC and its peoples to be as issues to be managed, rather than partners in the federation.
