🇨🇦 If pipelines are so vital, why are taxpayers covering 90 percent

Here is the punchline: Ottawa and Edmonton are pitching a 35 billion dollar pipeline as nation-building, while private capital takes a polite 10 percent seat through Pembina and the public gets stuck with the risk. Even the reported logic admits pipelines in Canada are not exactly revenue gushers because regulation and legislation have strangled profitability. Translation: the same political class that sabotaged energy investment for a decade now wants applause for using your money to compensate for the damage.

Mark Carney and Danielle Smith are selling a state-heavy rescue mission as market realism. Fine, but let us say it plainly: this is what happens when Ottawa kneecaps Canadian sovereignty with anti-development rules, ESG theatre, and endless legal choke points until only governments can finance strategic infrastructure. Canada should absolutely build export capacity beyond the U.S., but the real scandal is that our own regime made private investment flee first. Public money is now paying the ransom for Trudeau-era policy vandalism.
