The Alberta government has considered three different pipeline routes through northern British Columbia for a new major oil export pipeline, according to documents obtained by CBC News which provide a first glimpse into where the project could be located.
"The present separatist initiative won’t lead to independence for #Alberta, but it is being used by the province’s #fossilfuel capitalists and political leaders to ensure that the present destructive intensification of extractive projects unfolds on terms that are to their economic and political advantage." https://www.counterfire.org/article/alberta-separatism-a-tangled-reactionary-web/?brid=YWdncwEIeJtbTzL6erf9TYSfMubH
Alberta separatism: A tangled reactionary web
Tensions between the Federal government and the provinces have long been a feature of Canadian politics, but, as John Clarke reports, the threat of breaking away has become a tool of the fossil fuel industry and far-right interests The government of Alberta has announced that a referendum will be held in October on whether or not to put separation from the rest of Canada to a subsequent vote.

#Carney's "proposal suggests, without evidence for need, that #Canada should sacrifice the rule of law and our most sensitive species and #ecosystems in order to build pipelines and other projects. If approved, this proposal will take Canada back to a more dangerous, toxic and destructive time and leave Canadians facing impacts that could last for generations.” https://environmentaldefence.ca/2026/05/08/statement-proposed-changes-to-major-project-decision-making-risk-dismantling-decades-of-environmental-progress/

readuncutOpenAI's CEO personally owned what was marketed as OpenAI's venture fund for 3 years without the board's knowledge, that fund invested in companies OpenAI later acquired for billions, and somehow the press treats this like normal corporate housekeeping instead of the Adam Neumann playbook at trillion-dollar scale. https://readuncut.com/open-ai-has-little-effective-governance/

OpenAI Governance Conflicts: The Structure That Doesn’t Exist
OpenAI built its brand on responsible governance. The internal record says otherwise. A web of 400 portfolio companies, a venture fund Sam owned without the board's knowledge, and a pattern of deals that keep landing in his favor.
The November 2023 board had the mission-first composition people keep demanding, reviewed 30,000 pages of documentation, caught Altman lying about safety approvals, and voted him out. They got steamrolled in 96 hours by employees with vested equity, which is worse than Neumann's supervoting shares because at least his board knew it was powerless. https://readuncut.com/open-ai-has-little-effective-governance/

It's just for new contracts.
"The obligations under the new reserve – which will replace the so-called “gas trigger” as the mechanism to secure domestic supplies – will not apply to contracts signed before that date." (22 December 2025)
He had me going there for a sec.
Thought we might actually get some real money now for our gas.

"using a brand-new public wealth fund to extend the life of an otherwise sunsetting sector is completely backwards." https://www.nationalobserver.com/2026/04/30/opinion/carney-sovereign-wealth-fund-pitfalls?nih=2FrAVR-zRGJGRgw6AnpvyyO69T8vUbwLCahArPO3MbQ
