Mark Carney and his government are sacrificing the climate and baking in worse natural disasters in the hope of short-term profit.

With its future uncertain, should the NDP pursue power or principles?
After near electoral collapse, should the NDP shift left with bold, systemic proposals, or focus on pragmatic gains and achieving power?

It's kind of wild how Carney is working overtime to double down on tying Canadian growth to an energy source that's guaranteed to tank this century.
Prime Minister Mark Carney said his government is negotiating an agreement with Alberta that “creates necessary conditions” for the future construction of a new oil pipeline to Canada’s west coast.
