Mark Carney just picked his lane on climate change For all the recent talk about pipelines, it's clear that Mark Carney's economic strategy revolves around turning Canada into one of the world's leading electro-states.

For Canada's prime minister, it's time to build. How his new auto sector and electricity strategies will lay the groundwork for that, and why it could be more effective climate policy than anything put forward over the last ten years. www.nationalobserver.com/2026/02/13/o...

I've said it before. I'll say it again. Albertans are profoundly temporally selfish.
Weโ€™re happy to give the next generations the problems of infrastructure deficits, climate change & reclamation.
At the same time we're using resource revenues to subsidize our generationโ€™s stand of living.

And "got created" - can we just call out, once again, the use of the passive voice which always disguises agency.
Apart from a brief ND interregnum, successive Alberta conservative governments created the problem.
And it's time they owned it and stopped stealing from their grandchildren. #abpoli
