Following Environment Minister Julie Dabrusin's refusal to say whether or not a new pipeline would contribute to climate change yesterday, that makes two major figures in Carney's government who have been unsure about the environmental impact of a new pipeline to export oil to be burned overseas.

Exxon Heads to Trial on Claims of Campaign of Deception on Climate Change HARTFORD – Oil giant Exxon Mobil Corp. is heading for trial on claims the company marketed fossil fuel products in Connecticut that have contributed to climate change in the state. […]

In Connecticut, Exxon is on trial over their lies and deception to hide their role in fueling climate change

Meanwhile in Canada, Carney has made it easier for oil & gas CEOs to lie to the public without any accountability by removing greenwaxhing bans

Carney's dismantling of climate progress came as a surprise to many

@woodsideful.bsky.social explains Carney's interest in climate was always re risk/opportunity to big banks

As PM "Carney is using the Trump effect as political cover to pursue the deregulatory agenda he’s long wanted"

Everything single thing LeBlanc says in this interview is wrong or misleading

Is he grossly misinformed or just lying?

Just listening to The House - maybe Minister LeBlanc should stop lying to Canadians

The MOU will INCREASE climate pollution - it weakens/kills major climate and environmental legislation and gets nothing in exchange

This new government has no integrity

Carney's latest pipedream explained Prime Minister Mark Carney wants to see the Pathways Alliance project built in exchange for a new oil pipeline to the BC coast — a risky bet on the country’s economic future.

The Pathways Alliance project would inevitably be a massive boondoggle if it ever gets built. It’s only purpose is to greenwash the oil industry and deceive Canadians into thinking we can be a clean petrostate.

Execs are embracing AI more than their employees are, new research suggests Research from HR software company Dayforce suggests that executives are leaning into AI far more than their employees.

A study by Dayforce shows 87% of executives use AI for work, compared to 57% of managers and just 27% of employees.

I think this explains the massive disconnect we see in how CEOs talk about AI versus everyone else. It also raises the question of how useful it truly is for frontline work?

Do yourself a favour and read this excellent article from @arnokopecky.bsky.social

"Pierre Pollievre might still be the official opposition, but everyone knows who the real conservative leader is now."

In just half a year, Carney has dismantled almost all of the climate progress Canada had made over the last decade

It's neck and neck between him and Trump for who ruined things fastest

*of course, Trump has Carney beat on a long list of things like destroying democracy and people's lives

‘The answer is no and always will be’: UBCIC on Alberta-Canada MOU The Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs (UBCIC) says it’s against the MOU signed Thursday morning to build a massive new bitumen pipeline from Alberta to the B.C. coast.

“This MOU is nothing less than a high risk and deeply irresponsible agreement that sacrifices Indigenous peoples, coastal communities, and the environment for political convenience,” says Grand Chief Stewart Phillip, president of the UBCIC.

Who do you think will issue CCfDs? The feds (rightly) realized it made no sense - huge financial liabilities. The small number that the CGF finalized are losing money. Do you actually think AB will move ahead with CCfDs?

The Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs (UBCIC) says it’s against the memorandum of understanding that Canada and Alberta Thursday morning.

The MOU explicitly endorses the construction of a massive new bitumen pipeline from Alberta to the B.C. coast.

I'm not holding my breath

All of this was ostensibly to strengthen industrial carbon pricing, but it's actually set to weaken pricing and undermine the entire regime

Apparently Smith is interpreting $130 as the headline price

Well this just in from Smith's chief of staff

Apparently Smith in an interview referred to $130 as the headline price....

I'd even say 2030 is optimistic!

Federal-Alberta MOU risks unravelling Canada’s climate policy While promised improvements to industrial carbon pricing are positive and important, other aspects of Alberta-Canada MOU will undermine policy effectiveness across the country.

Also we have no guarantees that anything in the MOU actually strengthens industrial carbon pricing at all...and the climate Institute makes a compelling case that the MOU undermines the regime

I had assumed the headline price would still follow the existing schedule, and the $130 "minimum effective price" would ensure a minimum cost of credits - is that too generous an interpretation?

So, basically, BC electricity goes to Alberta to support energy-hungry AI data centres, CCUS & oil production and/or gas and nuclear-powered electricity from Alberta comes to BC to support LNG and mining...

The feds should have improved the required tightening rates in OBPS.

The concessions have been made. Clean electricity is dead, for example.

Alberta had already agreed to the $170 pricing schedule. Then they retracted support this year. Now we're pretending we're getting something new from them in exchange for dismantling a whole suite of regulations which would have delivered way more reductions. Also Smith's support won't last long

Can we all finally agree these guys are oil and gas shills and stop calling them a climate organization?

What a pathetic excuse for a progressive

100%. Max has completely misread what happened.

Carney dismantled clean electricity regs, weakened methane rules & promised more O&G subsidies...in exchange for Smith's word that she'll support $130 carbon price - which she had supported until recently, realizing she could leverage opposition to it. She'll oppose it as soon as it's convenient

👏👏👏
