🇨🇦 Danielle Smith just agreed to triple Alberta's carbon tax and send Ottawa $600 million for the privilege

In exchange for vague pipeline promises from Mark Carney — the former Goldman Sachs banker now playing prime minister — Smith locked Alberta into $130/tonne industrial carbon taxes by 2040 and committed $600 million in provincial cash to subsidize the oil sector she claims to defend. The deal forces large emitters to pay Carney's climate shakedown while Alberta taxpayers cover the blowback with handouts. This is capitulation dressed as negotiation.

Smith traded sovereignty for a handshake and a maybe-pipeline. Carney gets his globalist carbon regime embedded in Alberta law, permanent revenue extraction, and Smith's signature legitimizing the scam. Meanwhile Alberta gets a photo op and the bill. This isn't defending the province — it's financing its own managed decline under WEF-approved terms.
