    Shocking.

    Meanwhile all my conservative albertan friends call him an environmentalist and a communist. I fucking hate it.

    In exchange for climate policies that never would have flown on their own in Alberta, and with concessions predicated on conditions that probably will never happen.

    For once I can just full-thoatedly agree with Carney.

    My favourite is the ‘carve out’ to just ignore the tanker ban bill.

    Its not a carve out if you’re going to do to the exact thing the bill was put in place for.

    I think this is a gambit predicated on:

    1. There is no private proponent (and still won’t be)
    2. This will rip the UCP apart, and NDP will probably not want to push for a bitumen pipeline to the NW coast

    But it could also just be what it is at face value, we’ll see I guess.
