Congrats to the oil lobby, Alberta government and PM on getting us to a point where a relatively pragmatic editorial board can champion a new pipeline without even having to address environmental/climate concerns (save for passing carbon-capture reference). www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/edit...

Globe editorial: The day that Canada grew a little stronger

The designation of a new bitumen pipeline as being in the national interest is a step away from a dangerous reliance on the United States

But, just let me say the same thing about taxes, and everyone in Silicon Valley loses their fucking minds. You know what, Sam? Fuck you, that's what. And MOST ESPECIALLY, no bailouts ever, at any time, for any entity touching this space.

Danielle Smith is using your tax dollars to sell her political agenda. This referendum booklet is propaganda. It blames newcomers for her government’s failures and pushes constitutional changes without telling Albertans the truth. You deserve better than this political garbage paid for by you.

This is the kind of nuanced analysis of how not all types of private investment are good for Canada should have happened beforehand, as part of a Royal Commission. My worry is that what Prof. Indart identifies as a bug — a lack of attention to these differences — is to Carney a feature.

Canada is open for business, but Carney's investment pitch glosses over a crucial difference

Prime Minister Mark Carney's Toronto summit pitch attracted global attention, writes Gustavo Indart, but not all foreign, private investments are created equally.

I have A LOT of questions about the inclusion of Diana Gox Carney on this panel given that she is cited as an 'economist and climate policy expert' who is joining a conversation about making the online world safer for kids. Was she invited? Was this a pitch from her camp? So many questions.

Here's the reality that was clear from the start: Carney wants a pipeline. He will steamroll environmental protections and Indigenous rights to get it. He will use public funds to cover costs and risks while profits go to the private sector (including US investors).

Apparently at least one of them is now tripling down (maybe quadrupling down at this point?) on being wrong. 🤷

Has anyone checked in on the pundits who said none of this would ever happen because Carney didn't really want a pipeline and he knew that no private investor would pay for it or he assumed that Indigenous communities would block it?

“There’s a fundamental contradiction between the tone Carney has struck at the summit and while globe-trotting, and the anger he showed this week after the Stelco news.” This is exactly correct. Another way of putting this is that Carney has been trying to run the old FDI playbook in a new world.…

From Stelco to Stellantis to shuttered factories, a pattern keeps repeating — and Carney's summit buzz won't fix it.

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:

Remember: Carney doesn't actually want a pipeline. He's just playing 4D chess with Alberta. Also, it will never actually happen because no private company will pay for it. Or something.

Carney fans not only get to stop pretending that they care about climate change, they even get to act like they're being patriotic because of it.
