Quote from: Herman on November 28, 2025, 07:36:37 PMMark Carney promised "unimaginable speed" but he just handed the B.C. government an unconstitutional VETO over pipelines.Jo Jo told me after he got off his knees this morning that this MOU is not an energy export deal. It is really a high tax agreement.

Quote from: DKG on November 28, 2025, 09:12:46 PMThe federal government will do nothing to get a pipeline built. That much is clear from the advanced reports about what is in the MOU (memorandum of understanding) that Prime Minister Mark Carney and Alberta Premier Danielle Smith are expected to sign Thursday in Calgary.None of these national projects are new and none of them will move along with unimaginable speed.
Once Alberta has everything in place (constitutional, Indigenous, environmental, regulatory and financial), then the Carney government will consider giving the pipeline to their Major Projects Office (MPO).
ut aren't those preconditions the very things the MPO is to help with? Once the federal cabinet has designated a project to be in the national interest, it is supposed to be referred to the MPO, whose job it then is to smooth the regulatory burden, help negotiate with First Nations affected by the project and, if necessary, scour the world for investors.
To be fair, it is not entirely clear what the MPO is doing, other than renting first-class office space and spending more than $230 million on staff, desks, computers and boardroom tables.
There is little evidence the MPO has done anything yet except set up photo ops for Carney to make official announcements. It's probably too early for the MPO to have cleared the way of any of the 10 projects selected by the Liberals, but there is no public evidence, at least not yet, that the MPO is even trying.
The Liberals are just doing this to stave off a national unity crisis with Alberta separatists.
