Is Carney’s Pipeline the Real Deal?
In the latest episode of "Not 'Sorry'" on Juno News, National Citizens Coalition Director Alexander Brown breaks down this critical moment for Alberta and Canada’s energy renewal with Lorne Gunter, senior columnist at the Edmonton Journal. The focus: Mark Carney's "Memorandum of Understanding" (MOU) with Alberta and Thursday’s announcement aimed at (supposedly) building a pipeline to B.C.'s Pacific coast through NDP-led territory notoriously hostile to resource development.While superficially promising, Brown and Gunter dissect it as a potential echo of the Trudeau era's empty promises, setting Alberta up for failure amid political spin. As Poilievre and Carney clash in the House over an endless list of conditions the pipeline may struggle to meet, much like the ‘Major Projects Office,’ these claims from the Liberals that they’ve changed on energy aren’t matched by the continued efforts to bury initiatives in bureaucracy.
Gunter, drawing from his latest column argues the MOU burdens Alberta with impossible preconditions like more upfront Indigenous and environmental approvals, guaranteeing gridlock. The duo questions Carney's concessions to B.C. Premier David Eby, a fervent far-left radical and advocate for de-growth. Even Trudeau never relinquished such power to John Horgan’s NDP -- the feds have interprovincial authority.
Gunter labels Carney as anti-oil as his predecessor, citing his Net-Zero involvement and book "Value(s)" as evidence of prioritizing global agendas over Canada's energy superpower potential. They decry the West Coast tanker ban and emissions caps as unaddressed obstacles, with uneven federal favouritism toward projects like New Brunswick's Sisson mine.
"I hope Thursday’s announcement proves me wrong," Gunter says, fearing it's merely to avert Alberta's growing separatist crisis, and to set up Alberta for a no-win scenario Ottawa can attempt to wash its hands of, claiming they tried. Brown presses on reforms needed for the MPO and federal strategies like asserting interprovincial authority. Ultimately, Gunter and Brown warn that lip-service announcements won't suffice -- Alberta and Canadians deserve action, not more energy sabotage.
