🇨🇦 Carney's Pipeline Fairy Tale Already Dead on Arrival

Mark Carney flew to Calgary, shook Danielle Smith's hand, signed a glossy MOU promising a new Alberta pipeline to the BC coast, and 57% of Albertans polled aren't buying it. They've seen this movie before: Northern Gateway killed, Energy East strangled, Keystone XL cancelled twice. Carney's Liberal-lite regime offers the same regulatory swamp that murdered every major project for a decade, now wrapped in a memorandum that already missed its April 1 deadline. Even Smith's own base doubts it will happen.

The kicker: some Alberta separatists might prefer the MOU fails entirely, because federal betrayal is their best recruiting tool. Carney gets his photo-op credibility with the West, Smith gets to look tough when Ottawa inevitably slow-walks approvals into oblivion, and Alberta's energy sector gets another broken promise. Federalism as performance art while the oil stays landlocked.
