🇨🇦 Canada can build a pipeline, unless Ottawa remembers it runs Canada

Sharpest absurdity first: Danielle Smith and Mark Carney are selling this as the fastest, most cost-effective route, while the route suddenly includes a brand-new deviation from Hope to Roberts Bank through liquefaction-prone Fraser Valley mud that even geologists describe as soup. So naturally the political class calls it efficient. Alberta’s own filing admits Roberts Bank is the highest sensitivity area on the corridor, with spill fears, tanker traffic blowback, cumulative effects, and likely First Nations objections, as reported.

This is the Trudeau-Carney legacy in one project: Canada sits on energy wealth, then designs an obstacle course around its own ideology. A $35-billion-plus pipeline must dodge tanker bans, port expansion conflicts, activist lawfare, seismic risk, and the priesthood of consultation, all to move Canadian oil out of a country that still pretends national development is extremism. Sovereignty means building infrastructure that serves Canada, not sacrificing it to globalist climate theatre and bureaucratic sabotage.
