Carney has completely lost First Nations. (Smith never had them of course)

"…they had no choice but to come to Ottawa to make their appeal, and potentially take legal action. “And one thing with First Nations and the courts? We have a very good track record of winning,” Mike Mercredi said.”

I increasingly think the Carney government will fall before July 1st. Making the MOU potentially moot.

Alberta Treaty 8 chiefs demand pause on pipeline agreement, threaten legal action | CBC News

Treaty 8 First Nations chiefs spoke in Ottawa Thursday, calling for a pause on the pipeline memorandum of understanding until they are consulted and sign off on the potential project. They're threatening legal action if that doesn't happen.

@tabmcleo toxic, carciogenic, and unrecoverable in ocean water, #bitumen should be banned. Force oil companies to upgrade their bitumen to crude oil, or face high environmental taxes. #bcpoli.

But we all know there is no business case for any more pipelines, but it is entertaining to see both Danielle Smith and Mark Carney score political points without any snowball’s chance in climate roasted hell of a project even being proposed. #tmx #oilandgas #climatecrisis

Quite a bit risky.

"Oléoduc" is the best word I have ever seen for oil pipeline!

Also... oily Canada reputation spreading far and wide.

This #MOU puts O&G industry first and Canadians last. More #pipelines, more #bitumen & vague promises of “net-zero someday” aren’t a climate plan—they’re a delay tactic. #AB & #Canada are handing out concessions while locking us into decades of emissions and environmental risk. #cdnpoli #bcpoli

With Prime Minister Mark Carney poised to sign a "grand bargain" with Alberta later this week, some B.C. Liberal MPs are raising concerns about Ottawa possibly giving the greenlight to a new oil pipeline to the Pacific, sources say.

An interesting read about how #Venezuela #bitumen might impact other producers such as #Alberta

Trump’s Coup Plans for Venezuela Are Bad News for Alberta’s Oilsands | The Tyee

A US-engineered regime change would flood the market with cheap, easily accessed bitumen.

I have booked a drydock for blacking the boat.

The bitumen blacking is "like paint" and keeps the hull from rusting away. Also below the waterline, the boat will get replacement anodes whose function is to rust away, instead of the steel hull rusting away.

I understand that in the age of #trump more #canadians want to become less dependent on selling to the #usa but a majority are in favour of a new #pipeline through #britishcolumbia shipping #bitumen ? Wow!
