“Five dimensional chess…” they said. “It’ll never happen!” moaned #elbowsup Liberal voters who conned our #NDP votes in the last election under the guise of “strategic voting”.

Despite all the gaslighting, many of us in #BC knew this unneeded pipeline would be forced upon our Province against our will yet again by ANOTHER Liberal Government, despite Carney gleefully stealing our votes to prop up his make believe “majority government”.

I voted against #PierrePoilievre because he was threatening to do exactly what Mark Carney is doing now. Our #elbowsup votes were used against us, not Trump, as Carney grifted.

Mark Carney has taught me a valuable lesson though. Never again will I vote strategically, and never again will I vote #Liberal. Fool me twice, shame on me.

Two dirty bitumen pipelines in 2 decades running roughshod over British Columbians, First Nations and our longstanding environmental regulations.

#MarkCarney has hung an dead albatross around this Liberal Party’s neck. They will now reek of oil and federal overreach for decades to come.

Shame on #Carney and all of his sycophantic supporters who have abandoned the left, First Nations, and British Columbia; all in pursuit of oil money and appeasing a separatist traitor.

This overkill pipeline will be the most costly pipeline ever built in Canada. It’s environmental costs will be socialized in BC and it’s measly gains privitized in separatist #Alberta.

It will be shoved without environmental assessment through forest fire prone areas and pristine ecosystems, destroying our species at risk.

Whoever builds it will need to pay for round the clock security everyday to defend it, just as they needed with #TMX. The price, both environmental and financial will be through the roof.

Eventually Canadians (who said this would never happen) will foot the bill for this open pollution of our once beautiful Westcoast; removing our tanker protections, destroying our species at risk, endangering community livelihoods and coastal industries through decades of future pollution in the Strait.

Shame on Carney (you are no unifier), and shame on this Liberal Government. You stand for nothing but austerity, big money and big oil and true Canadians see it.

5/ The message to Canadians is crystal clear: the C-suite asks, and Ottawa delivers. If you're a powerful corporation, you go to the front of the line. If you’re struggling to pay rent, feed your kids, or find a family doctor, you’re told to wait. 

None of these giant changes make our country more secure, independent, or stable. None of them directly address the cost of living crisis. All of them promise corporate welfare for the billionaire class, and more hardship for the 99%.

4/ Prime Minister Carney is rushing Canada in the wrong direction. 

His government has flooded the zone with sweeping changes all at once, bulldozing public debate, Indigenous consultation, and environmental protection along the way.

3/ Yesterday’s release of the government’s so-called clean electricity strategy is a transparent attempt to distract from this latest capitulation to the fossil fuel industry – and it’s not even a ‘clean’ electricity strategy worthy of the name when it opens the door to more high-emission gas plants.
