Nation-building promised, sausage-making delivered.
Regardless of whether this pipeline will ever be built, the process itself is profoundly damaging.

And it's not just in areas like federalism - Carney's got pathetically short-term vision on the economy and growth, the very things he's supposed to expert in.
Carney’s approach here is very much in keeping with an observation Paul Wells made back in the summer, that he’s focused on short-term deliverables, not long-term governance challenges.
The problem is, neglecting and failing to improve governance will leave Canada with weaker foundations.

He believes he is CEO of Canada.
It’s pretty remarkable how in a minority government situation, Carney forces budget votes without offering olive branches to other parties then repeatedly takes positions like this that are alienating to his base and own Liberal MPs

I've answered this question many times already. Self-described "progressives" are exhausting.
I am a far left progressive but I voted for Mark Carney and still would. Pierre Poilievre would have been/would be an epic disaster. Jagmeet Singh had/has no hope of ever being Prime Minister. The Green Party I gave my life to is a cluster fuck.
What do you suggest I do? We do?

Every warning sign about Carney has borne out. Every single one. And even worse than we might have feared. He won't last 2 years.

His utter neglect of social policy and basic diplomacy brings to mind Margaret Thatcher’s famous claim that there’s no such thing as society. It suggests someone who sees the world in terms of (underspecified) economic models. Welcome to governing in econometrics.
