🇨🇦 Profits private, climate boondoggle public

Four years later, Pathways has shrunk from a flashy 22 million tonnes by 2030 to just six million by the mid-2030s, while oilsands emissions still sit above 90 million tonnes a year. Yet Ottawa is handing over 50 per cent tax credits on capture equipment, 37.5 per cent on transport and storage, and even promising help with operating costs after construction, as reported. So the miracle green fix is smaller, later, and somehow even more expensive for taxpayers.

This is peak Trudeau-Carney Canada: carbon pricing theatre for the public, subsidy socialism for politically useful corporations, and another pipeline largely built on public money while elites sermonize about market discipline. If a project cannot survive without federal life support, Alberta incentives, and carbon-credit games, it is not a market solution, it is a regime-managed transfer scheme. National interest means energy strength without turning Canadian taxpayers into ATM machines for climate branding exercises designed to please bureaucrats, global finance, and the Davos compliance crowd.
