First up, Carney and Smith
I don't know enough about pipelines and oil production to say anything sensible about what Carney is trying to do with Alberta oil pipelines, but I think this cartoon has merit:
I wonder if the Gripen decision will be deferred until after the Conservative leadership question is settled, so it doesn't become even more of a political football than it already is.
Next, we know more budget votes are coming:
Canadians are still RIGHT ROYALLY PISSED at everything related to Trump:

Another restaurant owner stood up to ICE. She refused to let fear win. Her courage reminds us that ordinary people still hold the power to stop injustice in its tracks. When we speak up, we protect what’s right.

Here's an interesting observation from Steve M at No More Mister Nice Blog while he was discussing Trump's reaction to Mamdani:
... I genuinely believe Trump wants a contented, prosperous America, even though his policies can't possibly get us there. Obviously, Trump wants a country that gives much more power to straight white men and that's universally right-wing, and he wants to brutalize everyone who's uncomfortable with the means he uses to get us to his utopia. But I think he wants the citizens of his autocracy to be happy, the way Fox News tells him we could all be happy in a purely right-wing America.I suspect the far-right in Canada believe this about the Liberals and the NDP as well.
If you consume large quantities of right-wing propaganda, as Trump does, you believe that Democrats -- and democratic socialists -- want to deliberately harm America. They want America weakened and impoverished. They don't want American citizens to benefit from government programs -- they want Americans enslaved by government. They want crime to be high. They want whites and males and heterosexuals and cis people to be oppressed...
And here's another:

Continuing to agreeably disagree ...
A few chuckles will not distract me from the latest Carny betrayal.
From the esteemed Climenhaga:
"This may even prompt a B.C. separatist party to start organizing on the theory that leaving Canada is the only way to prevent a bitumen pipeline from being built to the North Coast. Presumably this is not what Mr. Carney had in mind when he talked about nation building.
It certainly explains why some of Mr. Carney’s B.C. Liberal MPs are said to be “seething” at their leader. "
We're a high-cost producer of low quality crude in a market declining as record global EV sales curb use. Yet Alberta wants to build a pipeline through one of the world's highest mountain ranges to carry its sludge to the world's fourth most dangerous body of water. How does this make any sense?!
The news is still being updated, but it looks like the first cartoon hits the nail on the head. The CBC is reporting that the deal "ties approval of 'one or more' privately financed pipelines to a carbon capture, utilization and storage project in northeast Alberta." So it looks like Carney didn't get rolled - neither private financing nor CCS are realistic propositions.
In no particular order, a ramble...
Carbon capture is a dream, a dream of producing something that bleeds million of tax dollars and does not work.
Does the deal include reducing the already Harper Gov reduction of the navigable waters act?
The privately financed contributors are likely to be US companies not Canadian.
The fourth most dangers waters; no chance.
Check it out; I'm really pissed at Liz Mays misleading and unsubstantiated remarks.
The pipe line if ever built will never make a profit, it costs too much unless the Feds buy it out as they did with Trans Canada.
Trans Canada still does not have a buyer; why?
Oil companies are unwilling and balking at using Trans Mountain to it's maximum capacity; are they waiting for more subsidies?
We are seeing another assault by the petro state and a Government that talks of change but doubles down on the hewers of wood ands drawers of water politics that plague Canada.
Meanwhile those darned commie, illiterate bastards are, successfully, doubling down on electrification, solar, wind etc and have a much more advanced economy than we can admit to ourselves??
They must think us fools?
