Carney's first-ever project designated as being in the “national interest" is...a crude oil pipeline. That means the oil pipeline can bulldoze past environmental laws, impact assessments, and Indigenous consultation. It can also kill all of Vancouver's orcas. Here's what you need to know:

“Alberta government and the federally owned Trans Mountain Corporation would each own 45% of the pipeline, with … Pembina Pipeline Corporation owning a 10% stake through the construction phase.” Mark Carney said a new pipeline had to be privately financed, but now taxpayers are on the hook again.
