🇨🇦 Carney Discovers Pipelines After a Decade of Liberal Sabotage

Mark Carney now wants to fast-track resource projects and make pipelines easier to build, as reported ahead of his Friday sit-down with Danielle Smith. This is the same Liberal brain trust that spent nine years under Trudeau killing Energy East, strangling Trans Mountain with regulatory hell, and passing bills C-69 and C-48 specifically designed to choke Western energy. Now that Trump tariffs loom and Alberta holds the cards, suddenly Ottawa remembers Canada has an oil and gas sector.

The feds are haggling with Smith over carbon pricing floors versus ceilings — Ottawa wants $130/tonne as a starting point to climb higher, while Alberta carbon credits trade at $40 and Smith wants $130 as the ceiling until 2050. Carney also wants contracts for difference to legally trap future governments into carbon pricing forever, ensuring no conservative successor can dismantle his climate agenda without paying industry ransoms. Sovereignty for sale, locked in by contract.
