Yes, this is a war for oil, Exxon & other U.S. oil corps are direct beneficiaries. Like all wars for oil, there are other objectives as well, with regime change in Cuba certainly high on the Trump administration's list, accomplished via cutting off oil flows (and the money from their sales) from VZ.

KSR: "I don't like this term abundance. I think it's a category error... As you point out, America richest society in all history. But let's say, what if the word was adequacy, what if the word was equality? And then there's an old English saying that I quite love: enough is as good as a feast."

@thestar.com's Allan Woods looks at Carney's meteoric rise from climate truthsayer to oil pipeline proponent. I was happy to share with my thoughts and how my view of him has changed along the way. Stand.earth #greensky www.thestar.com/politics/fed...

Delay tactic while awaiting PONI status? It's been over a year since federal Impact Assessment Agency granted Pathways Alliance an extension on the 90 days they had to respond to First Nations' info requests re CCS project. Latest letter is pure bafflegab: iaac-aeic.gc.ca/050/document...

Since this op-ed specifically cites the example of other countries let me remind you that Canadian liberals' decades-long attempt to reconcile with the oil and gas industry and the province of Alberta have yielded no benefits for climate whatsoever and I'm not aware of any economic benefits either.

Max makes some excellent points here, so I’ll respond as much as I can before my dinner plans call me away (more tomorrow). Where I think we agree is on the importance of policy durability. Another thread:

Hey Pathways, we fixed your ads for you 🥰 Because, no, this isn't a stronger economy. It's stolen Indigenous land. Fuel for wildfires. A paycheque for the rich. And not the future Canada is asking for. Join us in calling them & the gov out >> act.gp/3YyNnj3

Canada is not immune (see Bills C2, C5, C8, C9, C12 and related provincial legislation). Important to note criminalisation of protest is a response to weakening of fossil fuel industry's power and legitimacy. The beast is wounded, and thus more dangerous.

A new report on Canadian LNG and oil exports rests on highly questionable assumptions about the global emissions impacts of these fuels and lacks transparency on the modelling inputs used. Here’s a brief explainer 🧵⬇️ ppforum.ca/publications...

Tune in to the Strategists for more (utterly foreseeable) predictions of ways the Government of Alberta will make a mockery of any effort to reduce the emissions that cause catastrophic climate change. #ableg #canpoli

A great example of Canada’s climate innovation ecosystem in action! Homegrown tech, early support from SDTC (may it rest in peace), federal and provincial support to demonstrate, growth capital from Canada Growth Fund to scale 🍁💪🍁

Alberta further weakens industrial carbon pricing one week after signing MOU promising to strengthen it by allowing new cheap credits to flood the market. www.linkedin.com/posts/dave-s...

This isn't just a pipeline. It's more dirty energy and stolen Indigenous land. "Canada can approve all the MOUs [...] that they want, but chiefs are united when it comes to approving large national projects." -Cindy Woodhouse Nepinak at the Assembly of First Nations Add your name: act.gp/4iEXhJi

Only in Canada. A deal that will increase oil production and weaken climate policy is good for climate because: - oil producers didn't like those pesky climate policies, and - the economic benefits of "any" incremental emissions from 1.4 Mb/d is worth it. www.theglobeandmail.com/business/com...

New from me: Did someone say MOU? Reading between the lines of Carney's plan to weaken climate policy and build a pipeline (yes, there is a very long table - you're welcome) www.greenpeace.org/canada/en/st...

Proud that @greenpeaceca.bsky.social is one of the organizations to support this letter.

"@climatekeith.bsky.social, senior energy strategist for GPCA, said allowing carbon that is captured to be used to “pump more oil out of the ground” would suggest there’s “no net benefit” to that activity." thenarwhal.ca/carney-alber... @thenarwhal.ca @drewanderson.bsky.social @meyer.bsky.social

The Assembly of First Nations resolution also calls for the “immediate withdrawal of the Canada-Alberta Memorandum of Understanding and any project contemplated or designated under the agreement that may infringe First Nations’ rights, including the right to self-determination.”

“Steven always fought in cabinet to get govt to finally take action on climate and nature protection. His departure will be felt...He has already shown he can reinvent himself, and I have no doubt he will continue to work for a fairer greener future, in a different way.” – @climatekeith.bsky.social

The Indigenous group cited as being in favour of the pipeline in this article is in fact a crown corporation owned by the Government of Alberta. Its funding comes from the GoA and Danielle Smith's Cabinet appoints its Board of Directors globalnews.ca/news/1155109...

Oh interesting, whose fault is that?

Smart take: "Simply put, the federal government is trying to find a policy solution to what is in reality an identity problem. Such attempts to placate will only embolden, because the goal isn’t compromise."

In non- pipeline news: I'm at a diner and the kid at the next table informs me that "This is the best apple juice I've had IN MY LIFE." Small joys

Another night to sleep on this and I'm solidifying this take There is a reason industry/govt sees a bit win in trading the regulations that would have forced real emissions reductions (oil and gas cap and CER) for vauge future carbon pricing promises that some are claiming will achieve the same 1/

People who care about climate change are “dreaming nostalgically about the past.” - Minister Hodgson Gotcha. That explains a lot.

He claims to have the full support of Indigenous Peoples and to stay consistent with Canada's climate goals. Those are LIES. Instead of MORE FOSSIL FUELS, we desperately need clean energy projects. act.gp/3XnO3HD @climatekeith.bsky.social

You've been such a warrior. Fight on in a new role, Steven www.lapresse.ca/affaires/202...

What we have witnessed tday in this new federal-Alberta agreement is a complete abandonment of core federal climate policy and a complete abdication to the MAGA-aligned govt of Alberta and to oil & gas corporations that send huge chunks their profits to the US.

It's almost like Sara believes there should be honesty in advertising... better change that anti-greenwashing law ASAP.

1. This federal-Alberta pipeline MOU is even worse than I expected. Even before we get to the pipeline: - exempts AB from net zero electricity reg (AB produces 44% of all electricity-related GHGs in Canada). - delays methane reg by 5 years (75% redn by 2035 rather than 2030. (cont'd)

The fact that the Minister of Natural Resources is announcing an earthquake warning system in Quebec while the Prime Minister announces a pipeline in Calgary is a little on the nose...

I might add that O&G is also 5-6.4% of national GDP and 21-23% of our exports, depending on how you measure them.

As we await the pipeline MOU, a reminder that Alberta has 12% of Canada’s population and • 38% of national GHG emissions • 75% of oil and gas-related GHGs • 51% of electricity-related GHGS Source: 2025 National Inventory Report 1990-2023: GHG Sources and Sinks in Canada (ECCC)

Heading to Ottawa for Pipeline-palooza MOU announcement tomorrow. The first time I did this trek to fight a pipeline through northern BC was in 2011. I'd really prefer to not have to do this all over again. Here's why: www.greenpeace.org/canada/en/st...

Slett says her group has faced a "wall of silence" from the federal government on a possible pipeline deal with Alberta.

Alberta’s emissions performance credits, which can be used to comply with the industrial carbon pricing system, are now trading at just C$17 per tonne. The frozen $95 per tonne headline price is largely irrelevant. (Data from ICE/NGX as of 11/25)

For those trying to keep up with what's what in this latest MOU between the Feds and Alberta, I've got you covered: We're still light on the details, as the announcement will be formally made tomorrow. But gleaning from news reports, this is the deal:

Why the proposed northwest coast oil pipeline and tankers project is opposed by over 40 organizations working to secure a safe climate system, protect marine and freshwater and uphold Indigenous rights and sovereignty. www.greenpeace.org/canada/en/st...

BC Liberal MP Will Greaves said the feedback he's getting from constituents "is almost universally opposed to lifting the tanker ban and is deeply skeptical of building another pipeline to tidewater through the central interior of BC." @nationalobserver.com www.nationalobserver.com/2025/11/26/n...

Is this an "AI get out of jail free" card? There's an article in Le Devoir on how an unannounced clause in the budget implementation bill allows a Minister to exempt any person/company/province from any law (other than Criminal Code) if Minister deems it is in public interest & supports innovation

It’s an interesting approach to provide clarity on a tanker ban while failing to meet with the Coastal First Nations despite repeated requests - the community that would be directly affected by any spill - while having dozens or more meetings with fossil fuel lobbyists, AB, Sask.

"This is an historic betrayal of Canada's climate commitments and the rights of Coastal First Nations to protect their land and waters from oil spills." - @climatekeith.bsky.social Tell Carney: fast track climate solutions NOT pipelines 🙅 act.gp/4of2Kru

"The carbon pollution from expanding oil production to fill a massive new pipeline will overwhelm any potential reductions involved. We should be pivoting to clean renewable energy, not doubling down on dirty fossil fuels." - @climatekeith.bsky.social #Cdnpoli #ABpoli www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

more and more countries are going to see that getting off foreign oil imports is a great reason to accelerate electrification and renewables buildout, regardless of what it means for the climate
