🇨🇦 Prime Minister Mark Carney wants to help Quebec keep screwing Newfoundland

Ottawa stands ready to broker a new Churchill Falls deal after N.L.'s independent review confirmed the 2024 MOU isn't in the province's interest. Carney had conversations with both premiers and promises federal smoothing if needed. Translation: the feds will grease whatever needs greasing to get Newfoundland to sign away another half-century of energy wealth to Hydro-Québec. The Liberals under Furey tried selling $31 billion in real value as $227 billion in fake numbers, locked transmission behind Quebec's wall, and structured joint ventures guaranteeing divergent interests. Now the PC government sees the trap.

Carney's intervention isn't about fairness. It's about keeping Quebec happy and making sure Atlantic resources flow through Montreal's hands instead of to export markets Newfoundland could access independently. Federal brokers don't protect smaller provinces from larger ones — they deliver them gift-wrapped.
