there will NEVER be a pipeline west. Carney has set in place so many barriers it will never happen. He is so crooked and scheming and lies on every turn. build south AB into the US and IGNORE any Federal involvement.
I hope that is what she plans - I guess that having Ottawa drop some of the most egregious polices is something, but they should be dropped anyway if Carney is serious about being an energy superpower.
But Carney’s definition of an energy super power would minimize oil production and reliance…and a definition of LNG would not be its present use.
Solar, wind, nuclear, hydrogen , AI, ALL technologies based on renewable non fossil based energy projects are his(and WEF members) priorities.
Apparently, delays are his strategy. He is determined to NOT to sideline his climate change initiatives.
Not sure where transformations and speeds like never seen before plays out. Presently, we seem to be at a stand still. Rhetoric never gets things done.
If it is the corrupt native councils they cud have a slice of the pie, but your average native will be in the same boat as us..thus the reason Carney's Cartel has been driving a wedge between us for so long (and I'm not speculating this..we have relatives from the Mohawk/ Ojibwa/ and Cree nations in our family, and they have the other side of the stories the MSM blabs about..)
Right you are! Carney is a crawling snake and has no interest in the prosperity of Canada or it's people. He has bended knee to the WEF/UN/CCP and Brookfield and of course to his own purse. We are paying a huge price for this grifter banker to produce NOTHING!
Alberta has already inked a deal with Trump to have another oil pipeline to the US using Keystone as its already across the border. Carney had to approve that too. Crazy country we live in. Carney says we should become an energy superpower etc. then takes his sweet time on approvals. The man is only interested in what benefits him.
The Keystone already had approval and started south when Biden cancelled it..that still stands..so Smith can (and probably IS) restart digging south..and (apparently Trump has continued north on his end ??) ..Smith also has the original pipes from Keystone sitting in a laydown yard for the last decade..ready to go...
The can has been kicked yet again with some grand pageantry, handshakes and signings of each other’s yearbooks. As an Albertan, I can appreciate what Danielle Smith is doing. Fighting for her province and its livelihood, as well as her political future. But as a pipeliner who has actually worked in the “trenches” for 30 years, we are no closer to a pipeline west or any direction than we were when the government of the coiffed prime minister cancelled the Northern Gateway and Energy East projects. The CER regulations, red tape and environmental impact nonsense will effectively stall this and any other major pipeline project, if it even gets past the indigenous consultation phase…which itself is not likely. I’ve seen projects grind to a halt because a dead frog was found on the right of way. The job was shut down and environmental investigators were brought out to determine if a frog nesting ground was disrupted. For all we knew, the frog could have died of natural causes! So a frog takes precedence over the economy of a nation, now we add in all the “green” regulations. It’s absolute insanity. As far as the Keystone XL revival that Trump is asking for yet again after he brought it back to life in 2020, only to have Biden cancel it 8 months later, that is another issue entirely. I worked on that project when it was cancelled. Approximately 150 km of pipe is in the ground in central Alberta between Monitor and the South Saskatchewan River. It sits buried, capped with a rust inhibitor and nitrogen purge inside to preserve the pipe integrity. The stockpiles of the remaining pipe have been sitting in storage yards since 2012, slowly rusting and the protective outer coating baked off by 12 years of prairie sunshine. The pipe is effectively scrap. TC energy washed their hands of the project in 2021 when it was buried. TC had fought to get the project revived after it was cancelled by the Obama administration in 2012, right after the two major river crossings were completed on the Red Deer and South Saskatchewan rivers. There will be no proponent who will take on this project either, the cost will be tremendous and the route has now been changed to completely cross southern Saskatchewan and into North Dakota, instead of straight south into Montana. Again more environmental hurdles. Two major projects that in my experience are nothing more than “sound bites” to keep the people hopeful. Canadas fate has been sealed by Mr Carney and his green scheme, he will let the regulators, environmentalists and Indigenous do his dirty work and prevent them from ever breaking ground on a single project. He can claim that he tried, but the people have decided that it’s not in the interests of the country.
Apologies for the long rant, sometimes it’s hard to sit back and listen to the social media experts that come out of the woodwork claiming that “shovels will be in the ground soon”,or “the Keystone is already built”. I’ve witnessed the horror of the “dead frog” shutting down a multi million dollar operation and sending workers home. The “horror” of the virtuous.
Good long rant. In some ways, it seems like intelligence in Canada has diminished since most people haven't been or haven't live on a farm or worked in industries where there are decisions made by non-echo-nuts. We all want a nice, clean world with our creatures living comfortably and safely, but we don't believe in nihilism and we don't think that DEI over merit is the way to go.
I am trying to be a bit hopeful but it seems our country is doomed to fail by our lack of leadership in Ottawa. This is why Canadian companies like TC energy are building in the US and Mexico. Countries that are proud of their ability to meet their energy needs.
No doubt net zero is a failure. So is Carneys latest ruse to keep the rabble quiet.
Smith has no choice but make the best of a rotten, corrupt deal.
This entire carbon tax and carbon capture nonsense is a massive, costly deception.
The UAE, faced with the Iranian attempted hostage of the straights of Hormuz have announced a new pipeline.
Finished and ready in 2027.
Let that sink in …
Clarington just announced a new project :This involves building a new above-grade rail bridge next to the existing CPKC rail bridge reconstruction on Green Rd ; to be ready in 2028
You tube videos show the Germans replacing a highway overpass last year.
Martha Hall Findlay who was bullish on carbon capture, has changed her tune and now is speaking out on carbon capture projects. She says, and I concur, that the world has changed, and that “…Canada must prioritize limited resources for economic prosperity over expensive emission-reduction projects whose costs are uncertain.”
We all knew that Carney wanted to shut down oil and gas, and certainly Albertans know that this new agreement is destined for the bottom of a bird cage.
Carole I saw that interview. The more I learn of carbon capture the more I realize it’s a liberal deception ,just like Carneys very being, to support his failed net zero ideology. I’m watching on you tube in real time the UK citizenry marching for Great Britain.
Characterized as “ far right” Starmer has denied entry to 11 speakers for this event some are EU parliamentarians.
Starmer and Carney are very similar. Equally dishonest.
It seems that once the governments figgered out a way to scam the people, they just keep making up more and more lies that 'sorta', 'kinda' make sense, and by the time enough people understand that they have been had - again, it is too late. Too many people have been convinced by the media that it is a good idea.
Brian if O’Leary says New York Massachusetts New Jersey California are “ un-investable ” due to regulatory impediments and taxation “ what is Carney doing to Canada ?
It’s clear. A trillion dollars of investment has left Canada.
Gone.
Today: “Eby’s stance remains firm against a new pipe line”
Too bad the country never fully appreciated Martha Hall Findlay. She has one of the most well thought out and pragmatic approaches to most issues. I would say the same about Lisa Raitt.
For those without Grok struggling with the erudite Lilley’s headline: ( I had to do it myself lol)
“Danegeld (literally “Dane yield” or “Dane payment”) was a tax levied in medieval England (and sometimes in parts of Francia) primarily to pay tribute to Viking (especially Danish) raiders, in exchange for them stopping their attacks and leaving the land in peace”
Any deal that still needs approvals 1-1/2 years out is not a deal. It’s a delay tactic by Carney. No investor is going to sign up. I wonder if Premier Smith is taking too much political risk here by not calling that out - at least in the long run. Carney just seems to get away with “fooling” Canadians.
Why would the consultations take so long. We have consulted and determined pipeline routes a decade ago. As you say, simply a delay tactic as well as an effort to calm down the goal of independence in Alberta
CCS is just a ridiculous waste of time and money and could become a real danger to lives later on. I'm on board with Eric Nuttal - but more importantly, I'm quite certain that nothing will be announced in Sept 27. Nothing ever gets done on time or on budget in this country. I despair, but then again, I think Canada would be a better place for all if it was 4 or 5 smaller countries, like Fennoscandia.
I agree that Canada is too big and too diverse to be one country, especially when it is lead by ideologists who are far more concerned about staying in power than the people who live in Canada.
Why didn't Carney designate of a new pipeline as a “project of national interest”. He says that will happen in September 2027 - if it was designated as a “project of national interest” we would be able to consult with the FN's and try and meet their demands, but honestly, their demands never end. As a project of national interest, we could move ahead without there Carney induced Veto power.
.." I'm quite certain that nothing will be announced in Sept 27."
..🎯..yup...but Sept '27 brings us closer to 2030...THAT's what Carney's feet dragging has been about all along..(sure wouldn't want him on my Tug 'O War team)..🤔
It seems bizarre to me that a project that will strengthen Canada's economy a province has to actually fight with Ottawa to make any progress -- it is counter productive and damages any sense of one nation. Greenies should start looking at what impact all these environmental efforts actually have on the climate -- exactly none.
The IPCC has recently admitted that their climate modelling used over the last number of years to predict their climate apocalypse and " oceans boiling" nonsense were wrong and are being updated.
The snake Carney and his Net Zero/ CCS scam is all nonsense, but a heck of a money grab from taxpayers.
I support our Premier Smith, but I will also be voting yes for separation when the time comes* (if Smith leads our new separatist government Alberta will definitely prosper). Carney is moving way way way too slowly - especially as other countries do what we need to be doing (liberal government speed as you said, Brian, so he gets no stars from me.) I’ll believe it when I see it…. Refer to the “all hat, no cattle” thing.
* if not I will probably have to join the rest of my family who have already moved to the US.
PS enjoy the weekend - we might be putting our on skis back on in Alberta by Monday. (This is what we call moisture so I’ll take it in solid or liquid form).
I'm voting for separation as well. I don't want to send Ottawa a message, I want to inflict pain on a low value institution that does little beyond income redistribution and obstructionism. The world is on the precipice of a sovereign debt crisis. Canada is particularly exposed due to poor provincial finances, whose debt is implicitly guaranteed by the Feds, a real estate bubble, demographic time bomb and falling productivity. The bond vigilantes will be even more willing to prey on a government having to deal with the uncertainty of a renegade province that delivers most of the country's foreign exchange.
When I moved out to Cgy in '77, my first May long weekend, a cpl of us Ontario boys just had sleeping bags to lay around the firepit at bed time..woke up the middle of the night..shivering and shaking like a dog shittin' razorblades!!..🤣 .🥶
Canada is still tying its laces in the global energy race. And, who can argue with her.
This is not a win for Alberta.
What is the worst thing that would happen if Smith turned down Carney’s fake pipeline offer.
Ottawa needs Alberta oil now. If Alberta says NO to his carbon pricing and his carbon capture scam what is the 'world leader' going to do. Carney just proposed a trillion-dollar expansion of the power grid and would not say who would pay for it. Analysts have warned of substantially higher costs for ratepayers. Carney's Ottawa is so far in debt that Alberta oil and especially Alberta money is what he needs.
Alberta really don’t need to go east and west; the US will buy all the oil we can sell them.
Either Carney drops every stupid policy that hampers Alberta, and if he doesn’t, nothing really changes for Alberta, except we create even closer ties with the US.
Why do you and the rest of commentariat keep referring to “Alberta’s demands”? STOP IT. What is Alberta demanding? The right to export their product to a world market and increase the prosperity for Alberta and Canada. Is that a demand or an opportunity that every province should have in a properly functioning federation. You got it right later in the piece when you referring to the ransom or danegeld that Alberta must pay to do something that is their right.
Agreed. Unrestricted movement of people, goods, services and capital within national borders is tablestakes. A federal government that cannot deliver on that absolute requirement has lost its authority to govern. In blunt terms, no pipeline means no country.
Exactly! Canada was built on the promise that all governments would work together for the good of the people. All provinces were to help each other! Now it’s all propaganda and protectionist pandering and we keep getting poorer. Enough!!
Smith deserves some of the credit. Global events have worked to her favor. Between Trump, the conflicts in Ukraine and Iran and a potential sovereign debt crisis, the Feds are backed into a corner.
Mr Lilley, it's time you stepped out and up and did a thorough job of researching Carney's connections, his convictions through his own words, and the Degrowth of Canada that was started with Pierre Elliott Trudeau alongside the Klaus Schwab /WEF, UN and the IMF (and the EU if we are honest). Liberal voters refuse to see the connection and we're beyond this being a conspiracy theory. Carney is not here for Canada. He's here for the NWO, his direction is to destroy the current system Canada is in and reset the world system at our expense. Every single person who is following along knows this. Our resources will be under foreign control if we continue this route. Our rights and freedoms are being chipped away at slowly under the guise of "security". We need strong media leaders, like yourself, to stand up now and get the information out. We know the CBC won't. It may not be mainline news but it must be said. PLEASE start the ball rolling.
Thank you. For folks who have been following along, it is obvious that Carney wants a new world order with him and his other ideological cult members running the world. He got a job where he can be on the world stage, along with the likes of Starmer. This is not going to end well for Canada.
there will NEVER be a pipeline west. Carney has set in place so many barriers it will never happen. He is so crooked and scheming and lies on every turn. build south AB into the US and IGNORE any Federal involvement.
If Carney was serious, and wanted to build at speeds not seen in generations, why is he not committing to the pipeline in September 2027.
Personally I believe that this is just a way to gas light Albertans on the fence about independence.
Pretty sure that's been Danielle's plan all along..that's one of the reasons she met with Trump the first time months ago..
I hope that is what she plans - I guess that having Ottawa drop some of the most egregious polices is something, but they should be dropped anyway if Carney is serious about being an energy superpower.
But Carney’s definition of an energy super power would minimize oil production and reliance…and a definition of LNG would not be its present use.

Not sure where transformations and speeds like never seen before plays out. Presently, we seem to be at a stand still. Rhetoric never gets things done.
Words out of Carney's mouth: “Aspiration without effort is just empty rhetoric.”
I think that he says these things to prove that at least some of his resume was true, and why people in Canada fall for this is way beyond me.
So does this confirm, that indeed his rhetoric is merely something that he and his group aspire to. No actual action needed. ??
Bingo Christine!!
He's a good talker Carole. I have to admit though that half of the shit he spews I can't make heads or tails of.
Exactly!
Carole, you quoted MC; I will quote me: Aspiration should never be confused with expectation.
🎯
I think he wants China to be the energy superpower..??
Wouldn’t be a bit surprised
But he wants to eliminate superpowers. His messages are sooo contradictory. Yet you may have a point.
Oh, what a tangled web we weave...😝..
how can it not be china? he is giving away canada away to them, or else the natives are.....
If it is the corrupt native councils they cud have a slice of the pie, but your average native will be in the same boat as us..thus the reason Carney's Cartel has been driving a wedge between us for so long (and I'm not speculating this..we have relatives from the Mohawk/ Ojibwa/ and Cree nations in our family, and they have the other side of the stories the MSM blabs about..)
200%. I wonder if he actually became PM, not for Canada … but to use Canada. It certainly wasn’t legitimate, by any stretch of the imagination.
Right you are! Carney is a crawling snake and has no interest in the prosperity of Canada or it's people. He has bended knee to the WEF/UN/CCP and Brookfield and of course to his own purse. We are paying a huge price for this grifter banker to produce NOTHING!
Amen!
Highly unlikely.

Totally agree with you.
You make a good point, Brian.
Agree if the liberals or carney is running our show.
It will if China gets it's way..and that's Carney's master plan..🤔
Plans are just that.. plans
xi and trump might mess that up.
China does not want trump to interfere with Taiwan. And it might happen, if it does it will be very secretive.. they could care less about people.

With all of Carney's roadblocks, at best, a pipeline would not be completed for 8 or more years.
I was out walking in subzero temperatures in central Alberta this morning - should have worn my lined pants. Have a great weekend yourself.
I'm voting for separation as well. I don't want to send Ottawa a message, I want to inflict pain on a low value institution that does little beyond income redistribution and obstructionism.

After 45 years I figured time to head back to Ontario..big mistake..my kids and friends still there..miss the mountains..
Alberta has a way of growing on you, doesn’t it? We love it here.
I agree with Rempel Garner's substack:
Canada is still tying its laces in the global energy race. And, who can argue with her.
This is not a win for Alberta.

Why do you and the rest of commentariat keep referring to “Alberta’s demands”? STOP IT. What is Alberta demanding? The right to export their product to a world market and increase the prosperity for Alberta and Canada. Is that a demand or an opportunity that every province should have in a properly functioning federation. You got it right later in the piece when you referring to the ransom or danegeld that Alberta must pay to do something that is their right.
Agreed. Unrestricted movement of people, goods, services and capital within national borders is tablestakes. A federal government that cannot deliver on that absolute requirement has lost its authority to govern. In blunt terms, no pipeline means no country.
Exactly! Canada was built on the promise that all governments would work together for the good of the people. All provinces were to help each other! Now it’s all propaganda and protectionist pandering and we keep getting poorer. Enough!!
Sounds reasonable, except for one major problem.
HELL will freeze over before it actually happens.
This is merely a way to shut down the Alberta
Independence Movement, and sadly, it appears to
be working.
Not only Canada. The entire country. Either maybe the exception of Quebec.
Not working!
The west coast tanker ban is still in place.
The Lieberals polling at 41% in Alberta (or anywhere , for that matter) is utterly incomprehensible to me.
Michael. We all know the polls are fake but I get your point
They might be fake, but not fake enough. The Lieberals are still in power after 10+ disastrous years.
Danielle Smith has played her cards perfectly.
The great crisis management expert and game theory specialist? Not so much.
If the pipeline fails to get constructed, he will wear it all; he will wear the blame and he will have deserved every bit.
Smith deserves some of the credit. Global events have worked to her favor. Between Trump, the conflicts in Ukraine and Iran and a potential sovereign debt crisis, the Feds are backed into a corner.
Mr Lilley, it's time you stepped out and up and did a thorough job of researching Carney's connections, his convictions through his own words, and the Degrowth of Canada that was started with Pierre Elliott Trudeau alongside the Klaus Schwab /WEF, UN and the IMF (and the EU if we are honest).
