Oh look, it’s another Commonwealth country bastardizing the Norway model to pitch more fossil fuel development.

This pipeline is a done deal.
The folks holding onto the notion that Carney’s “not without a proponent” condition is some kind of 4D chess move are kidding themselves; Carney will use some sort of sleight-of-hand to conceal the fact that you and I are paying for this, whether it’s by funneling the money through that ‘sovereign wealth fund’, channeling it through First Nations, and/or some other form of skulduggery.
You can expect all the guns to be aimed at David Eby now too, as well as at First Nations who stand in opposition, as both are the biggest obstacles for our #PetroState overlords to overcome. 🤨
penpencilbrush🇨🇦This is very interesting.
PM Carney is very good. People who criticize the petro aspects are not thinking about practical considerations.
Definitely not a fan of petro anything, but it's not going to happen over night, the transition time needs to be navigated carefully. PM Carney is doing that.

Paging Mark Carney to the courtesy phone…
@chris
If Carney believed this we'd be rolling out renewables at 'a speed and scale not seen in generations'.
Doubling down on oil production makes us more dependent on foreign countries/adversaries since we lack the capacity to refine our own fuel products and in the time it would take to build that capacity we could already be reaping the benefits of a clean energy transition.
I'm so totally exhausted with Canadian politicians pushing this industry propaganda that more oil and gas means greater independence for Canada when the opposite is true.
Margaret Anne (she/her/they)Nothing I can do if they go in and grab Castro as they did Maduro.
Hope Carney speaks out... but, he is so lined up with U.S. policy and ideology, probably not.
We elected "elbows up" but got a militarized petro state in bed with U.S.

Cuba braces for possible U.S. military action as uncertainty follows Castro indictment | CBC News
Former Cuban president Raúl Castro will be "keeping his head down," experts say, as questions swirl over whether the U.S. plans to take him by force and bring him to American soil to face charges over an incident from three decades ago. Federal prosecutors announced criminal charges against Castro Wednesday in the 1996 downing of two small planes flown by Miami-based exile group Brothers to the Rescue.

Demand destruction, a beautiful phrase when applied to the oil & gas sector.
There is a workaround and China will continue winning as long as the US continues down the #petrostate dead end and stifle innovation.
