The Feds will subsidize a $100 billion pipeline after paying $34bil for the last one. But the PM signs on with Trump to fight subsidized EV technology. This has nothing to do with jobs. It is about blocking the expansion of cheap/accessible alternatives. www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/art...

“The problem with climate change reporting is that sometimes it feels like you’re intellectualizing something that doesn’t actually need to be intellectualized. This is pretty simple. It’s fossil fuel companies destroying our future for a quick buck. That’s all you need to say.” @emorwee.bsky.social

Carney didn't help auto by offering to build Keystone XL. Trump remains focused on destroying our auto sector. Carney isn't placating a "growing" Alberta-BC rift. Danielle Smith set up a non-existent fight. Keystone XL doesn't "suck" for the US environment - it is a planet carbon bomb. .
