🇨🇦 Canada suddenly rediscovers oil after Trudeau’s sabotage

A one-million-barrel-a-day West Coast pipeline is now being dressed up as national interest policy, after a decade of Ottawa treating Alberta energy like a moral disease. Danielle Smith is set to unveil the proposal Thursday, and Mark Carney’s people are already floating fast-track language, tanker-ban amendments, and a construction target of September 2027, as reported. Funny how energy realism returns the moment tariffs, weak growth, and separatist pressure make the Laurentian class sweat.

The absurd part is that the same federal machine that spent years throttling pipelines with activist lawfare, climate bureaucracy, and performative guilt now wants applause for discovering export capacity to Asia. B.C.’s David Eby is still doing the usual NDP routine, no private backer, no route, no enthusiasm, just blockade politics in a nicer suit. This is what sovereignty erosion looks like in practice: Canada sitting on world-class resources while provincial and federal elites negotiate with every veto cartel except the national interest. Better late than never, but let’s not pretend the arsonists are now firefighters.
