Not understanding the political calculus here. Conservative voters didn't get Carney and his Liberals their near majority - it was progressive voters from the Bloq, NDP, and Greens strategically voting Liberal. Now he jeopardized them in the faint hope Prairie Conservatives will finally vote Lib?

Federal net-zero body falling apart in wake of Alberta-Ottawa deal Two prominent members of the Net-Zero Advisory Body, including its chair, have resigned this week, citing a lack of influence over a government that’s increasingly pulling back on climate action.

The Net-Zero Advisory Body is *legally* mandated to consult on Canada’s climate plans but has been completely ignored by Carney and Dabrusin. It appears that it is being bled dry β€” and now two of its most prominent members have quit in frustration.

I met Guilbeault and PM Carney at the Canada 2020 Net Zero event in Nov 2023. When it comes to acting on climate change urgency, ironically it was the politician and not the (then) private citizen who appears to really believe what he said.

It’s important to note from a military perspective that if a subordinate is about to give an unlawful order & his senior knows about it, it’s also a requirement for the senior official to stop him from executing it. And then counsel/discipline him.

So there’s that, too.

I met Mark Carney and Steven Guilbeault at Canada 2020 Net Zero Summit, Nov 2023. Guilbeault was Trudeau's Environment and Climate Change minister, Carney in private life. Months later it all changed. For once, the politician believed what he said about climate change urgency & future PM didn't.

Canadians must recognise that climate change is effectively irreversible, and that known solutions to limit future impacts of flooding and wildfire - Canada's two most costly climate perils - need to be mobilised at the level of the individual home and within communities.

ADAMS: Pipeline to Nowhere: Carney's Political Theatre Leaves Albertans Holding the Bag The MOU builds confusion, delays climate action, and hands Danielle Smith the political theatre she thrives on while Albertans pay the price.

Mark Carney's MOU with Alberta is nothing but Ottawa bending the knee. Climate goals quietly delayed, carbon capture scams propped up, and Alberta left holding the bag. Danielle Smith talks tough, but Carney just proved she's all theatre, and Albertans are paying the price. ⬇️
